Replacement of prosthesis
Breast implants can deteriorate or become damaged over time. This underscores the importance of regular preventative medical checkups to examine the breasts. In cases of rupture or wear, breast implant replacement surgery allows for the replacement of old implants with new ones. Often, patients also take advantage of this opportunity to change the shape or size of the implants, thus improving their appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a ruptured breast implant?
The truth is, a person isn't always aware they have a ruptured implant, as sometimes the rupture doesn't cause any apparent symptoms. However, some changes in the appearance of the breasts may be noticeable: a change in shape, size, or irregularities when running your hand over them. If you think you might have a ruptured implant, we recommend scheduling an appointment for a medical diagnosis, bringing a recent breast ultrasound with you. This is the best way to find out for sure and prevent any potential health problems.
How often do breast implants need to be replaced?
It's true that breast implants have a lifespan, but there's no exact duration. Modern implants are designed to be very durable. Even so, regular checkups are recommended. Replacement is necessary if there's a rupture, capsular contracture, implant displacement, or even if the patient wishes to change the size or shape of her breasts.
Is revision surgery more complicated than an initial augmentation?
The difficulty depends on each patient's individual case. Sometimes it can be similar to a first surgery, but if capsular contracture or other complications are present, the procedure may require additional techniques. The surgeon's assessment is key to determining the complexity of the operation. If you are considering breast implant replacement, at Clínica Salud Estética de Tenerife, you will find a team of highly experienced medical professionals who inspire confidence and security.
