Breast Implant Removal
Breast Implant Removal and Breast Implant Exchange in Durham
Perhaps you have grown tired of having implants that are too large for your frame. Perhaps after progressing through years of pregnancy and breastfeeding your implants no longer lend the correct volume or shape to your changed breasts that you want. It could be that you have a ruptured implant that needs to be replaced or you may want a different size.
Women in Durham have a myriad of possible reasons for coming to see Dr. Coan for a breast implant exchange or breast implant removal. His extensive experience with various types of implants make him an excellent choice for performing your breast surgery. Call (919) 484-4884 to schedule an appointment regarding breast implant exchange.
What is Breast Implant Exchange Surgery?
Breast implant exchange surgery is an operation done under general anesthesia to remove an existing pair of implants (or perhaps a single implant in the scenario of breast asymmetry) and replace those implants with a new pair of implants. It is not uncommon to do this in conjunction with a breast lift, which removes excess skin from the breast.
Why Choose Dr. Coan for your Breast Implant Removal or Breast Implant Exchange Surgery?
Having a breast implant exchange can feel daunting. You already experienced the primary surgery. And perhaps others. Dr. Coan’s compassionate manner, extensive experience, world class training and qualification as an award-winning plastic surgeon assures that you are in good hands. He will actively communicate with you to ensure that he understands your goals and expectations and will guide you in your decision making process.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Removal or Breast Implant Exchange?
Most importantly, it is essential that you be in good physical health. Breast implant exchange surgery is very safe and effective when the patient is in sound physical condition. It is important to disclose all of your current and past health conditions as well as any prescribed or over the counter medications or supplements you take. After a careful review of this information, Dr. Coan may suggest preoperative tests or scans to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Psychological health is also an essential component of the procedure. Undergoing surgery can be a stressful experience. You might need to alter certain commitments and delegate responsibility to others during the initial days of your recovery from surgery. It is also important to understand that while having a breast implant exchange will alter the size of your breasts and improve their shape, it does not solve other underlying insecurities and issues. Most people experience a myriad of emotions in the immediate periods before and after surgery. Being realistic about your goals and expectations is essential to achieving a positive outcome for breast implant removal or breast implant exchange.
Surgery to exchange breast implants is a wonderful surgery for women who are dissatisfied with the current state of their breasts. As with all cosmetic procedures, it is especially important that Dr. Coan carefully assess your breasts, body frame and the general condition on your skin and muscle tone as well as understand your goals and concerns before recommending breast implant exchange surgery.
