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

If I could give more than 5 stars i absolutely would! I have had nothing but amazing experiences each and every time. Both dr Appel and his office ladies are so kind and helpful. I’ve had 2 surgeries so far with Dr Appel and the last one was at his new office surgery suites and I must say it was wonderful, of course no one loves surgery but his office was so peaceful and clean and just calming everyone was so patient and kind and no one rushed and the nurse in the operating room was so sweet and kind as well as the ladies who were in the recovery room with me. This was the most amazing experience and nothing at all like having a surgery in a hospital. Also no matter what time both Dr Appel and his staff are always there to help or answer any questions or concerns and Dr Appel even made time to call and check on me that night after surgery a few times just to make sure I was okay. He also takes his time with his patients and really listens to them, I struggle with horrible body dysmorphia and he always makes me feel heard and does everything in his power to help his patients and he is honest as well. His work is amazing and I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin. I can say Dr Appel and his office ladies are stuck with me I’m a patient for life and I can’t say enough amazing things about them! ❤️
