Breast Implant Exchanges & Removal
Simple Exchange
A simple exchange isn’t about correcting a problem—it’s simply the process of replacing your current implants with a new set. This can involve choosing a different size, shape, or upgrading to a newer implant option based on your current goals and preferences.
Complex Exchange
A complex breast implant exchange is typically for those looking to correct an issue with their current implants. This may include replacing a ruptured implant, adjusting implant placement, or tightening the pocket. Unlike a simple exchange, a complex exchange both replaces the implants and addresses underlying concerns to improve your outcome.
Breast Implant Removal
If you’re ready to remove your implants altogether, we’ll guide you through the process with care and attention to your goals—whether or not you choose to add a lift or reshaping.

Feels Right To You.
