The Breast Implant Exchange Procedure
Breast implant exchange is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Maffi carefully removes the existing implants and any scar tissue if necessary, then places the new implants according to your desired size, shape, and type. Dr. Maffi provides natural-looking results, with careful attention to detail and symmetry. The procedure typically takes several hours, and patients are discharged to a caregiver on the same day.
Recovery & Results for Breast Implant Exchange
After surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and can resume work in about one to two weeks, depending on their individual recovery. Dr. Maffi and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing. Your comfort and satisfaction are our priorities throughout your recovery.
Breast implant exchange offers the opportunity to alter your breast appearance, providing results that better align with your current aesthetic goals. Many patients notice improved symmetry, shape, and overall satisfaction with their new implants. Results are designed to be long-lasting, although factors such as aging and lifestyle changes can continue to affect the breasts over time.

Contact UsWhat is Breast Implant Exchange?
Breast implant exchange is a procedure that replaces existing implants with new implants, allowing for changes in size, shape, or implant type. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, Dr. Terry Maffi tailors each implant exchange to meet your goals, whether you want a different appearance, want to address implant complications, or want to refresh your results. In some cases, implant exchange may be combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift, to enhance your results.
Candidates for Breast Implant Exchange
You may be a candidate for breast implant exchange if you are experiencing issues like implant rupture, capsular contracture, implant shifting, or dissatisfaction with the size or appearance of your breasts. Many patients also choose implant exchange to switch from saline to silicone implants, or vice versa, based on personal preference. During your consultation at Maffi Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Terry Maffi will evaluate your current implants, discuss your goals, and recommend a customized surgical plan that fits your needs.
