Implant removal typically involves making a small incision at the site of the prior scar. The doctor simply removes the implant. In certain patients who have had implants for many years, the breasts appear deflated after the removal of implants. A breast lift may improve the shape of the breasts. Replacing When replacing implants, the doctor makes a small incision over the prior scar and the surgeon replaces the old implants with new ones. During this surgery, the doctor releases the capsule formed around the old implants. The doctor then enlarges the pocket for new implants. If the capsule has tightened and changed the breast shape, the doctor removes the capsule before placing new breast implants. Saline and silicone implants are available. Numerous research studies boast the safety of silicone implants.
