Breast Implant Replacement in Atlanta, GA

What Happens During a Consultation?

You will meet with Dr. Angelina Postoev before the surgery to review your medical history and any factors that may affect the outcome of your procedure including medical conditions, allergies, alcohol or tobacco use, and medications or supplements you are taking.

During the consultation, you are encouraged to ask any questions you may have. You will set your goals and discuss which option(s) – breast implant replacement surgery, breast lift, or breast removal – is the best for you. Together with Dr. Angelina, you can review the types, sizes, shapes, and textures of the implants, and try sample implants to decide on the correct implants for you. Oral collagen supplements may be given to you a week before your surgery to prevent bruising.

What Are the Benefits of the Procedure?

The initial results of your breast implant surgery may change over time. The look, feel, shape, or size of your breasts may alter and no longer meet your aesthetic goals. Benefits of breast implant replacement may include changing the size and improving the way they feel which can enhance your self-esteem.

What Should I Expect from My Breast Implant Replacement Surgery?

Breast implant replacement surgery may take approximately an hour. The procedure begins with some form of anesthesia which will be predetermined before the procedure based on what will work best for you Next, the incisions are made so the surgeon can remove the old implants, and perform any necessary corrections, new implants are then placed. The type of incision will depend upon the extent of the procedure and could be an inframammary incision, breast lift incision, or periareolar incision.

After the revision is complete, the incisions will be closed and often secured with surgical tape. You will need to wear a compression bra for about six weeks and will be given aftercare instructions that include activity restrictions. Breast implant replacement surgery is performed at our state-of-the-art surgery center located in Gwinnett county in Loganville, GA, which is convenient to Snellville, Grayson, Lawrenceville, Conyers, and surrounding cities in the metro Atlanta area.

When Can I See the Results and How Long Do They Last?

You may see some results of breast implant replacement surgery immediately but as the swelling subsides, after about six weeks, the final results will become clearer.

Most patients are fully satisfied with the results in 6-12 months after the surgery. You should keep in mind that sometimes after breast implant replacement, an extra cosmetic treatment may be necessary to correct issues such as sagging skin or scarring.

On average, breast implants last 10-20 years depending on their type and your activity. To increase that time, you should avoid heavy breast exercises and apply necessary skincare products.

Breast Implant Replacement Recovery

Overall, the healing process after surgery may take around six weeks. You may feel mild pain, swelling, bruising, and tenderness for a few days. However, the swelling will disappear gradually and your breasts will feel normal again. You should follow your doctor’s instructions very carefully and discuss limitations after surgery to get optimal results.

Side Effects of Breast Implant Replacement

Normally, after surgery, patients experience side effects like bruising, swelling, and a bit of tightness across the chest. During your recovery at home, should you experience shortness of breath, chest pain, or irregular heartbeats, you may need medical attention. Some complications are serious and require hospitalization or additional treatment.

Other complications are extremely rare, such as infection, adverse reactions to anesthesia, excessive bleeding, and unsatisfactory results.

After having breast implants, it is important that you have regularly scheduled MRI scans to check their integrity and ensure there are no signs of rupture or other complications.
