What is the breast implant replacement?
Breast implant replacement surgery, also known as implant replacement, is a procedure to substitute or remove previous implants to adapt them to the patient’s current needs, whether for aesthetic or medical reasons. It can improve shape, volume and symmetry, or update the implant type, aiming for a harmonious, balanced, natural result.
Types of breast implant replacement
Implant replacement due to wear or rupture
Recommended when implants have reached the end of their useful life or show signs of deterioration.
Implant replacement for aesthetic reasons
To modify the size, shape, or profile of the implants and adapt them to new aesthetic preferences.
Implant removal without replacement
Option for patients who want to permanently remove their implants and return to a natural breast, with or without subsequent tissue reshaping.
What does the <em>breast implant replacement</em> involve?
Breast implant replacement is a surgery designed to remove the current implants and replace them with new ones or reshape the breast according to your current needs. Usually, the previous incision is used to avoid new scars, carefully assessing the condition of the tissue and implant before placing new implants or performing breast reshaping. The goal is to update the result, improve harmony, and achieve a natural appearance adapted to you.
Personalized medical assessment
The first consultation for a breast implant replacement is always carried out with the surgeon responsible for the procedure. This personalized assessment is key to defining the most appropriate treatment for each case.
During the consultation, fundamental aspects are reviewed: the condition of the current implants, tissue quality, breast shape and proportion, and the possible presence of capsular contracture, displacement, or asymmetries.
To book the appointment, a prepayment of €80 is required.
Implant or technique selection
We decide the type of implant or lipotransfer, its size, and placement according to the anatomy and the desired result.

Frequently asked questions about <em>breast implant replacement</em>
What results can I expect?
A harmonious, proportionate chest adapted to your current needs—whether renewing implants, changing their shape or size, or removing them. The final result is usually visible between 3 and 6 months, once the tissues have fully adapted.
Does implant replacement hurt a lot?
Discomfort is usually mild to moderate and is effectively controlled with medication and advanced recovery protocols. Most patients return to an almost normal life in 7 to 10 days.
Can I breastfeed after implant replacement?
In most cases, yes. Modern techniques respect the mammary gland and ducts. If there is any particularity in your case, it is assessed individually during the consultation.
What are the risks of breast implant replacement?
Breast implant replacement is a safe procedure when performed in specialized centers by surgeons experienced in revision breast surgery. Even so, like any surgery, it involves some risks that should be understood.
At the Benito Institute, safety is paramount, and all procedures are performed under strict medical protocols, minimizing complications.
Most common risks (generally mild)
- Hematoma or bleeding: accumulation of blood under the skin; usually resolves with drainage or medical monitoring.
- Temporary swelling and discomfort: normal during the first few days; gradually decreases.
- Altered sensation: changes in nipple or breast sensitivity, almost always temporary.
- Minor asymmetries: small differences during the healing process.
- Seroma: accumulation of fluid that can be easily reabsorbed or drained.
Rare risks
- Postoperative infection: uncommon thanks to aseptic measures and preventive antibiotics.
- Opening of sutures or delayed healing: This may be due to skin tension or individual factors.
- Reaction to anesthesia or surgical materials.
- Capsular contracture: Hardening of the capsule around the implant, which may require treatment or replacement.
- Implant rupture: Very rare with modern prostheses, but possible over time or with trauma.
How long do new implants last?
Latest-generation implants can last more than 15–20 years. It is not mandatory to change them if they do not show problems or a medical indication.
Do implants feel noticeable to the touch?
No. Current implants, especially ergonomic ones, mimic the consistency and movement of natural tissue.
When can I exercise or sunbathe?
Ejercicio: progresivamente a partir de las 4–6 semanas. Sol o playa: después de 8 semanas, siempre con protección solar alta en las cicatrices.
Can I use the replacement part to change the size or shape of the breast?
Yes. Replacement is an ideal time to modify volume, shape, profile, or even remove the implants if you wish.
Can the replacement be combined with other surgeries?
Yes. It is frequently combined with breast lift (mastopexy) or shape corrections, always after a personalized medical assessment.
What happens if I gain or lose weight afterwards?
Moderate weight fluctuations do not usually significantly alter the result. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the aesthetic result in the long term.
How long does a full recovery take?
Most patients resume their normal lives within 7–10 days, although the complete process of internal adaptation and the final result are consolidated around 3 months.
