Is It Time to Replace or Remove Your Breast Implants?

Woman in bra with large breast implants that she may want revised or replaced Breast implants are not meant to last forever. Over time, your body changes, your preferences evolve, and your implants may start to feel or look different than they once did. Whether you’ve had them for ten years or twenty, it’s completely normal to wonder whether now might be the right time to revisit your results.

At West Houston Plastic Surgery in Houston, Texas, Dr. Alfonso Barrera and Dr. Eric Ruff are board-certified plastic surgeons who work with women considering breast implant replacement or removal. They are experienced in revision procedures and will customize yours to your needs.

Common Reasons for Breast Implant Replacement or Removal

Women seek revisions for different reasons. Some start to notice changes in shape or symmetry, while others experience firmness, rippling, or shifting. Ruptures or capsular contracture can happen, especially as implants age. 

Other times, the implants are perfectly intact, but your preferences have changed. You may want a smaller size, a different implant type, or to remove them entirely. Whatever your reason, it’s valid.

Exploring Your Surgical Options

Revision doesn’t always mean a full replacement. Some women choose to switch implant styles or sizes. Others decide they no longer want implants and opt for removal with or without a breast lift to reshape the chest.

Dr. Barrera and Dr. Ruff will make sure they understand what your current goals are. They always aim for results that reflect who you are today, not who you were at the time of your original procedure.

What to Expect From a Consultation

During your visit, the surgeons will review your medical history and examine your implants. They’ll walk you through your options clearly to help you decide what works best for your body.

Whether you’re dealing with a complication or simply feel ready for a change, their goal is to help you feel comfortable in your own skin again.
