If you had a breast augmentation performed 10 or 15 years ago, it may be time to have the implants removed. You may be looking for a breast implant exchange in Cypress, Texas, to maintain the size and shape of your breasts. Dr. Leo Lapuerta has been providing plastic surgery for patients for over two decades.
After an initial consultation, you will have an appointment for the actual surgery for a breast implant exchange in Cypress. This outpatient procedure will take place at an accredited surgical facility. The surgeon will make an incision to remove the implants and replace them with new ones. The incision may be similar to the one you had when they were first inserted. The surgery may include breaking up any scar tissue you have. Some patients choose to have a breast lift simultaneously, adding time to the entire procedure.
The implant exchange will take one to three hours, depending on whether scar tissue needs to be broken up or if you’re having another procedure done simultaneously. After you’re awake and recovering, you’ll go home with compression garments to help reduce the swelling. The swelling will take about six to eight weeks to go down completely.
Breast implant exchange in Cypress can allow you to maintain your silhouette with the same size and shape of implants once the original implants need to be replaced. If you aren’t happy with your current implants, you may want a revision to change the shape. You might decide to get larger or smaller implants.
Sometimes, the breast implant will rupture, requiring the surgeon to have it removed and a new one put in place. Breast implant exchange can take care of these complications. Capsular contracture is one of the most common issues with breast implants. The scar tissue hardens, often making the woman uncomfortable. Breast implant exchange allows the surgeon to break up the scar tissue as new implants replace the original ones.
Dr. Leo Lapuerta has triple certification as a plastic surgeon. He also has privileges in many hospitals and clinics in the area, which allows him to perform the surgery close to where you live. You’ll have a surgical team to help you throughout the surgery.
