Each year, many women undergo breast augmentation. It has become one of the procedures most frequently performed on women today. Dr. Asfa performs breast implant exchange or revision to replace older silicone implants with new saline-filled implants (or in certain patients, with newer silicone-filled implants). As with most medical devices, breast implants are not designed to last forever, and eventually many patients need to undergo at least one or more operations for routine implant replacement.

There are various reasons women have for choosing to undergo breast implant revision. One of the main reasons is deflation of the breast implant. Another reason is that some women want to have bigger or smaller breasts and would like an implant exchange. There are also women who were not happy with the original results of their first operation and would like to have breast implant revision to gain an appearance they can be happy with. Breast implant hardening or encapsulation is another reason why women may seek correction or revision. Even though the majority of implants remain acceptably soft, some do experience more firmness. Some may even have visible distortion or discomfort and feel that it should be addressed.
