Reasons for Having Breast Implants Replaced
Breast implant replacement may be considered due to the natural lifecycle of implants, as they are not designed to last indefinitely. Medical recommendations on implant longevity and advancements in implant technology also play a role in the decision to replace implants.
In some cases, implant replacement is performed to address complications such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or asymmetry. The procedure can also reshape the breasts or increase volume, depending on the patient’s goals. Dr Anh Nguyen ensures that each patient’s motivations and concerns are thoroughly discussed, providing clear and comprehensive information to support informed decision-making.
Dr Anh Nguyen’s Philosophy on Breast Implant Replacement
Dr Anh Nguyen takes a personalised approach to breast implant replacement, tailoring the procedure to suit the unique anatomy, preferences, and goals of each patient. She understands that the decision to replace implants is deeply personal, influenced by individual circumstances and considerations.
Dr Nguyen provides a supportive, non-judgmental environment where patients can openly discuss their motivations and expectations. She prioritises informed consent, offering detailed information about the procedure, potential risks, and options available. This approach ensures that patients feel supported and confident throughout their journey, from the initial consultation to recovery.
The Surgical Process
The surgical process for breast implant replacement begins with a detailed consultation to determine the patient’s goals and the most suitable method of replacement. On the day of surgery, old implants are carefully removed, and the chosen replacement option is performed under general anaesthesia.
Incisions are typically made in the same locations as the original surgery to minimise additional scarring. Dr Anh Nguyen ensures precision and attention to detail throughout the procedure, prioritising patient safety and alignment with the surgical plan.
