Can I Switch Implant Types During Replacement?

Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and many patients eventually undergo replacement for reasons ranging from implant aging to personal preference. When considering breast implant replacement, patients often ask whether it is possible to switch implant types.  The answer is yes, implant replacement is an excellent opportunity to reassess your aesthetic goals and choose an implant type that better suits your lifestyle and vision.

Saline and Silicone Implants

Patients often switch between saline and silicone implants during replacement. Saline implants, filled with sterile saltwater, offer peace of mind since any rupture is immediately noticeable, but they may feel less natural than silicone. Silicone implants, on the other hand, are valued for their realistic texture and natural appearance, making them a popular choice for patients seeking an upgrade during revision surgery. Some patients also take this time to opt for the newer “gummy bear” implants, known for their durability and natural shape.

Additional Enhancements

Switching implant types can also be paired with other enhancements, such as changing the implant placement or adjusting size for better balance with your current figure. For patients who may be experiencing complications such as capsular contracture, Dr. Danielpour also uses advanced techniques to ensure a smoother recovery and long-lasting, natural-looking results.
