Awake Breast Implant Exchange: Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Awake Breast Implant Exchange?
The Awake Breast Implant Exchange is a procedure in which previously implanted breast implants are replaced or adjusted under local anesthesia without requiring general anesthesia. This method allows patients to enjoy a more comfortable experience and a quicker recovery compared to traditional implant exchange procedures.
Why would someone consider an Awake Breast Implant Exchange?
Various reasons may prompt an individual to consider an Awake Breast Implant Exchange, including:
- A desire to alter their breast size or shape to better align with their current preferences or lifestyle changes
- To correct any complications from earlier surgery, such as capsular contracture or implant rupture
- Replace older implants that have reached their recommended lifespan
How do I know if I am a suitable candidate for an Awake Breast Implant Exchange?
Suitable candidates for an Awake Breast Implant Exchange are generally healthy individuals who:
- Have previously undergone breast augmentation and now desire implant replacement or adjustment
- Are free of active infections or any health conditions that may affect the healing process
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
During your consultation, our double-board-certified plastic surgeon will help you determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure and tailor a plan to achieve your aesthetic goals best.
How is the Awake Breast Implant Exchange different from traditional implant exchange procedures?
Awake Breast Implant Exchange differs from traditional procedures primarily due to the use of local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. This lowers the risks associated with general anesthesia and expedites recovery, as patients do not experience post-operative grogginess. Moreover, the procedure is less invasive, which may result in reduced scarring and enhanced comfort.
How long does the Awake Breast Implant Exchange procedure take?
The duration of the Awake Breast Implant Exchange procedure varies based on factors such as the case’s complexity. However, the procedure is typically completed within one to three hours.
What should I expect regarding recovery after the Awake Breast Implant Exchange?
As the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is minimally invasive, recovery is generally faster compared to traditional implant exchange methods. Patients can expect to experience some swelling and discomfort, which are manageable through prescribed medication. Most patients can resume their daily activities within days to a week following the procedure.
How long will the results of the Awake Breast Implant Exchange last?
With proper care and regular follow-up appointments, the Awake Breast Implant Exchange results can be long-lasting. It is important to note that breast implants are not lifetime devices and may need to be replaced or adjusted in the future. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can further help preserve your results.
