Very rarely, the implant may leak due to age, injury or poor quality of material. In this case, the implant should be replaced as soon as possible. The doctor will intervene through the same incisions made in the initial operation and will replace the implants. In the case of silicone implants, the possibility of a leak is very rare and has only been observed during a mammogram.

Implants are causing complications such as ripples and wrinkles, symmastia (implants drift together in the middle of the chest), or capsular contracture (scar tissue forms around the implant hardening the texture of the breast. During the revision surgery, the same incisions are used to replace the implants. If the new implants are larger, more space will need to be created inside the breast before placing them. If the new implants are smaller, then the space may need to be reduced with stitches, so that the new implants fit properly. If you are not happy with your breast implants you don’t need to worry!
