Breast Implant Replacement

Breast implant replacement surgery is a procedure performed to remove and replace existing breast implants. Patients may choose implant replacement for various reasons, including changes in aesthetic preferences, implant ageing, implant-related concerns, or to improve breast shape and symmetry. The procedure can also be performed to upgrade implant type, adjust implant size, or enhance overall breast appearance.

At Elegance Clinic, breast implant replacement surgery is planned according to each patient’s individual goals, body proportions, and existing implant condition. A detailed consultation helps determine the most suitable treatment approach to achieve balanced and natural-looking results.
