Results to Match Your Present Aesthetic Vision

Over time, preferences change. Some patients seek a different size, shape, or implant type, while others want to address aging tissue or changes after pregnancy or weight fluctuation. Implant replacement is often about refinement rather than correction.

At Restivo Plastic Surgery, implant replacement is approached without assumptions. As a female-led, boutique practice serving Hawaii, care is delivered in a calm, private setting at our Maui office, where clarity and long-term comfort guide each recommendation.

What Breast Implant Replacement Involves

Breast implant replacement is a surgical procedure that removes existing implants and replaces them with new ones better aligned with current goals. This may include changes in implant size, material, or placement.

Patients consider breast implant replacement in Hawaii for many reasons, including implant aging, aesthetic changes, or evolving lifestyle needs. Planning focuses on tissue health, proportion, and results that feel natural rather than overly altered.

Benefits of Breast Implant Replacement

  • Refined Size or Shape: Implant replacement allows adjustment of volume or contour so results better match your body and preferences today.
  • Updated Implant Technology: Newer implants may offer different feel or performance characteristics, depending on individual anatomy and goals.
  • Improved Balance With Natural Tissue: Replacement planning considers skin quality and breast position, supporting results that feel integrated rather than implant-focused.
  • Confidence Through Thoughtful Change: Many patients feel more aligned with their body after updating implants to reflect their current priorities.

Is Implant Replacement the Right Next Step?

Implant replacement may be appropriate for patients who feel their current implants no longer suit their body, lifestyle, or aesthetic preferences. This can occur gradually or after a specific life change. Candidacy depends on tissue condition, implant history, and overall health rather than a fixed timeline. During consultation, Dr. Restivo discusses whether breast implant exchange in Hawaii aligns with your goals through an open, pressure-free conversation.

What the Removal Process Involves

  1. Personalized Consultation: Your consultation focuses on understanding your concerns, implant history, and goals. Dr. Restivo evaluates tissue quality and discusses whether removal alone or a combined approach may best support balance and comfort.
  2. Surgical Planning and Treatment: Implant removal is performed using a carefully planned surgical approach. Anesthesia, incision placement, and treatment of surrounding tissue are reviewed so expectations feel clear and informed.
  3. Early Aftercare: After surgery, you’ll receive guidance to support healing and comfort. Swelling, soreness, or tightness are common early and improve gradually.
  4. Ongoing Follow-Up: Follow-up visits allow healing to be monitored and questions addressed. Continued guidance ensures recovery progresses smoothly and confidently.
