Breast Implant Replacement Albania– Cosmetic Surgery Tirana

Someone can choose to have a breast implant replacement surgery if they have changed their mind about the size or shape of their breasts overtime. 

Some of the most common reasons why people choose to replace their breast implants include:

• Cosmetic purposes such as changing the size and shape of their breasts or improving their symmetry;
• Correcting complications such as rupture or capsular contracture;
• Removing and replacing old implants;
• Removing PIP implants;
• Combining replacement of implants with a breast lift or mastopexy.

What does replacement of implants involve?

Implant removal and replacement usually lasts for 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia by a skilled surgeon. The duration of this procedure can depend on the size and shape of the implants that are being replaced. If a breast implant replacement and another surgery are being simultaneously performed the whole procedure may last longer.

Your doctor will first make some incisions on your breast area in order to remove the original implants. For this he will make these incisions on the original scar from your previous treatment.

If you’ve chosen to replace the implant with another one which is similar in size and shape, the original capsule will be enough and the whole procedure will be finished quickly.

If the implants are different – for example, if you are replacing breast implants with smaller ones – the surgery will be a bit more intricate and the capsule will need to be adjusted so that it fits the new implant.

After the new implant is properly placed your doctor will suture your breast along the original scar in order to minimize additional scarring.

Who is suitable for implant removal and replacement?

Patients who are considered to be suitable for replacement of implants must share the following:

• They are not content with the shape, size or position of their breast implants.
• Their implants have hardened or become misshapen due to capsular contracture.
• Their implants have moved or rotated ruining the breast symmetry.
• A gap has formed between their breasts due to the implants moving.
• They want to combine another procedure with a breast implant replacement.
• They want to replace their PIP implants with high quality ones.

What to expect during a breast implant replacement surgery?

The consultation

Before proceeding with your breast implant replacement surgery or clinic provides a thorough consultation with our surgeons. During the consultation you will be able to discuss your questions and concerns with your doctor as well as what you are hoping to achieve from the surgery. 

Then, your doctor will carefully examine your medical history as well as your body anatomy in order to identify the potential results of your procedure. Your surgeon will discuss all the available options as well as what can work best for your given anatomy. Afterwards, your doctor will take all the standard measurements as well as the clinical photography needed as preparation for the surgery.

A few questions you can make during your consultation with your surgeon include:

• Am I a suitable candidate for a breast implant replacement surgery?
• What should I do in order to optimize my results and recovery?
• Which technique is best for my procedure?
• How long will the recovery period be?
• What kind of assistance will I need while I recover from my surgery?
• Can you provide me with a few before-and-after breast implant replacement pictures?

Lastly, your doctor will go through all the potential risks or side effects that can happen, while giving you detailed information on what can be done to avoid such complications. He will provide a comprehensive guide to help you properly recover doing your post-surgery phase. 

After carefully evaluating your medical history,previous surgeries, any medications you are taking, existing allergies, etc., your doctor will decide whether you’re a good fit for a breast implant replacement surgery.

Usually, your doctor will give you a 2-week period to carefully think about your decision on whether you want to proceed with your surgery. Don’t hesitate to visit your clinic during this time to discuss any additional questions or concerns that you may have, so that you can continue forward confidently. 

Leading up to procedure

If you decide to continue with your breast implant replacement surgery you should visit your clinic so they can give you the instructions you should follow before your procedure.

Generally, your surgeon will give you the following recommendations:

• Avoid smoking for 6 weeks before your breast implant replacement surgery as it can increase your risk of complications and it can hinder your healing process.
• Avoid using any medications that contain aspirin for at least 1 week before your surgery.
• Stop consuming food and drinks for 6 hours before your implant replacement surgery. You can consume clear liquids such as water or black coffee until 2 hours before the procedure.

On the day of your surgery

On the day of your surgery you should arrive at your clinic at least 1 hour before your procedure. During this time our medical staff will check your vitals, take your blood pressure and your surgeon will make the last mark-ups on your chest area. 

Afterwards, you will be put under general anesthesia by a specialized anesthetist. The breast implant replacement surgery can take up to 2 hours. Usually your surgeon will make an incision on your original scar to avoid any additional scarring. Depending on the size of your original implant your doctor may need to adjust the size of a capsule. After inserting the new implant your surgeon will suture your incision and the surgery will be successfully complete.

Recovery stage

The surgery itself will not cause any pain and afterwards you are expected to feel a bit of discomfort around your chest area. Your doctor will prescribe medications and painkillers if they are necessary. 

After your surgery you will find yourself in a recovery room where you will stay for 2 to 3 hours depending on the complexity of your procedure. After our medical staff is certain that your initial recovery is successfully completed, you will be able to return home accompanied by a family member or friend.
