Breast enhancement procedures are some of the most sought-after in plastic surgery. Most breast enhancement procedures are performed to enhance the shape, size, and symmetry of the breasts resulting in a fuller, more shapely appearance. Patients who are interested in breast enhancement may have experienced changes in the shape, size, or position of their breasts. These changes can be caused by various factors such as genetics, weight fluctuation, age, pregnancy, and more.
Breast enhancement procedures include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast implant removal, breast implant replacement, and more.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses breast implants to create fuller breasts, correct asymmetries, and improve the size, shape, and contours of the breasts. Natural-looking volume is added by utilizing breast implants that are proportional to your body to accentuate and enhance your natural curves. Dr. Asaadi only uses saline breasts implants resulting in natural-looking breast enhancement results.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery can restore a more youthful-looking shape to the appearance of the breasts by removing excess skin and tissue and raising the breasts to a more lifted position. With age or following lifestyle choices such as pregnancy or breastfeeding, breasts can begin to sag and droop, causing many women to feel self-conscious. With breast lift surgery, patients can enhance the look of their breasts and achieve their desired breast enhancement goals.
Breast Implant Removal & Replacement
Breast implant removal is performed for cosmetic or medical concerns. Breast implant removal is an option for patients who may no longer be happy with the appearance of their breast implants, patients who no longer desire having breast implants at all, or due to an infection or capsular contracture. Damaged breast implants must be removed for the health of the patient. Breast implant removal can be combined with breast implant replacement, following the removal of the previous implants.
Breast implant replacement exchanges previous breast implants for new breast implants following a breast implant removal surgery. Patients interested in undergoing breast implant replacement surgery may be interested in increasing or decreasing the size of their implants to achieve a more natural-looking breast enhancement result. Another reason for undergoing breast implant replacement may be due to infection, capsular contracture, or correcting the work of a previous surgeon.

Breast implant replacement is performed to remove current breast implants and replace them with new implants. This procedure is available at Asaadi Plastic Surgery to remove, replace, and reposition the breast implants and provide the patient with their desired appearance. A common reason for replacing breast implants is to reposition the implants to better fit your body’s physique. Reasons to consider this procedure, and the right time for breast implant replacement can be based on cosmetic factors and medical concerns.
When to Replace Breast Implants
The time to replace breast implants can vary from patient to patient. Age, health, personal changes or preferences, and the expertise of your surgeon can determine how often breast implants need to be replaced. Choosing a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon is essential for any surgery. Important details your surgeon should consider when preforming breast implant surgery includes skin laxity, height, and body composition of their patient. If an unskilled surgeon does not take these factors into consideration, the results may look less natural. These factors can greatly impact the results of breast implant procedures.
Cosmetic Reasons to Remove Breast Implants
-
A patient may choose to replace their implants because they are unhappy with the current size or shape and want to either increase or decrease the size of their implants.
-
Some patients may gain or lose weight, changing the proportions of the body which alters the look of the implants. New implants can better fit a patient’s body physique.
-
If a patient is unhappy with the results of their implants from another surgeon. This can occur due to the previous doctor having incorrect knowledge of the patient’s anatomy. Skin laxity, height, and body composition of the patient are important to consider when choosing the size and shape of breast implants.
-
Exchanging silicone implants to saline implants, which are known to be safer and more natural-looking than silicone implants. Dr. Asaadi only uses saline breast implants.
Medical Reasons to Remove Breast Implants
-
If the patient is involved in an accident or experience trauma, the implant may leak or rupture. Removal and replacement would be required in this scenario.
-
The possibility of infection or capsular contracture can also occur with breast implants, although it is rare. Capsular contracture is a medical condition where the tissue surrounding the implant becomes too firm. This requires removal and replacement of the implant.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff are available to discuss any questions or concerns regarding breast implant replacement surgery, or any of our other plastic surgery procedures. Please contact our New Jersey office, our New York office, or request an appointment online today!
