Breast implant exchange is great option for patients who have had breast implants and are looking to exchange them for a different style and/or size. According to the manufacture warranty, implants are recommended to be exchanged after 10 years. However, this is not necessary if you are not having any issues. Dr. Jacobson utilizes Natrelle brand implants, both saline and silicone.
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals 18-65+ years old in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Individuals who lost shape and volume after pregnancy, weight loss or with aging
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Downtime
You can expect 5-10 days of downtime.
Recovery
You will be placed in a supportive non-underwire bra, to be worn for the first 4-6 weeks after surgery. This ensures that the breast tissue is supported while you are healing. Additionally, Dr. Jacobson will provide specific instructions on activity restrictions after surgery, which ensure that the tissues heal appropriately to give you the best results. In general, you may feel sore the first week or so, and you will need to limit strenuous exercise for about 2-4 weeks. Breast augmentation patients can expect 4 weeks of lifting restrictions.
