What is Breast Implant Exchange?
In some instances, after a breast augmentation has altered the size and shape of the breasts, women may opt for a change, whether it's due to personal preference or other factors. Dr. James Appel and Dr. Blair Wormer at Appel Wormer Esthetics provide comprehensive care for patients seeking to revise their augmentation results. This can involve breast implant exchange, implant removal, or capsulectomy, which removes the capsule of scar tissue surrounding the implant. Depending on the implant size and the extent of skin elasticity, a breast lift may also be recommended to correct sagging and refine the breast contour after implant removal or exchange. For women aiming to restore or enhance their breast aesthetics, these surgical options can significantly improve the natural look and feel of the breasts.
What is our surgical technique?
During the breast implant removal process, not only will the implants be taken out, but it may also be necessary to perform a capsulectomy to remove any scar tissue that has formed around the implants. This step is crucial if the scar tissue alters breast shape or causes discomfort. Following the removal, Dr. Appel or Dr. Wormer can perform a breast lift or fat transfer, as previously decided in your consultation. Additionally, for those seeking to maintain or enhance breast volume post-removal, breast implant exchange offers an alternative to restore or improve the breast's contour.
What are the benefits of breast implant exchange?
Breast implant removal, capsulectomy, or breast implant exchange procedures with Dr. Appel or Dr. Wormer can rejuvenate your look and enhance safety, offering numerous benefits, such as:
- Removes painful scar tissue
- Resolves capsular contracture and associated discomfort
- Improves mammogram clarity and precision
- Deals with compromised implants
- Reduces the risks associated with implant rupture and potential health issues
- Facilitates easier movement and participation in high-impact activities
- Eliminates the necessity for implant replacements every 10 – 15 years
- Provides options to adjust implant size or opt for complete removal
- Alleviates back pain
- Generally allows for a swift recovery period
Appel Wormer Esthetics Reviews
They did a great job with my surgery and were quick to respond to any questions I had over their app. They didn't treat me as if i was just money through the door but as a patient that was truly being taken care of. This is an awsome place, people, and great experience. I would definitely recommend to others. Thanks for all you do
Dr. Blair Wormer is the best .
Ashley did my Botox and she was amazing! Very professional, informative, and kind! The front office staff was also very friendly! Highly recommend!
This is my second surgery connection with Dr. Wormer. I really enjoyed the new 'in house' venue for this procedure as opposed to the hospital. All the staff were respectful, helpful, professional and upbeat. Dr. Wormer did a fabulous job and the follow up was all one could hope for.
These are wonderful professionals who truly care. From taking the time to patiently answer every question to ensuring the greatest level of care is given to their clients every step of the way, Appel Wormer gets the results you're after with the best possible experience.
