Los Angeles Implant Exchange – What You Should Know About Breast Implants

Breast implants were not created to be life long devices. From time to time women will be forced to undergo implant exchange procedures. Others will voluntarily exchange their implants. Los Angeles board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sanjay Grover is an experienced breast augmentation specialist that will address your concerns and deliver breasts you will be happy with.

There are three main reasons a woman may need an implant exchange. From time to time, some implants develop scar tissue around the implant pocket requiring the scar tissue to be removed and new implants inserted. Some women may experience capsular contracture also requiring the removal of old implants. Lastly, both saline and silicone implants carry some risk of rupturing. A ruptured saline implant will be very noticeable and require immediate attention to restore the breast to a normal appearance. A leak in a silicone implant can only be detected through MRI. For this reason it is important woman with silicone implants have an MRI every two years.

Many women opt to have a Los Angeles implant exchange purely for cosmetic reasons. Most women that voluntarily go through an implant exchange procedure do so to change the size of their breasts. Others simply want to upgrade their implants to the latest FDA approved implant or even change from Saline to Silicone or vice-versa.
