Whether you're ready for a refreshed look, experiencing discomfort, or simply choosing a more natural path, Refine offers expert breast implant exchange and removal tailored to your goals, your health, and your peace of mind.
How do I know if my implants need to be replaced?
Signs include rippling, rupture, discomfort, visible shifting, or simply reaching the 10–15 year mark. Imaging can confirm.
Will my breasts look deflated after removal?
Not necessarily. Depending on your goals and natural tissue, a lift or fat transfer can restore fullness and shape.
Can I switch from saline to silicone or vice versa?
Yes—implant exchange gives you complete control over type, size, and feel.
Is implant removal safe?
Yes—when performed by a qualified surgeon like Dr. Gabrick, it’s an exceptionally safe and commonly performed procedure.
Will I have scars?
Most procedures use your original augmentation incision, so new scarring is minimal and fades over time.
Can fat transfer fully replace my implants?
In some cases, yes. It depends on the volume you desire and your available fat stores. Please note that you may require multiple sessions, which will be discussed during your consultation.
Are newer implants safer?
Sometimes. Advances in implant technology can offer improved safety profiles, feel, and longevity.
What are the risks of implant exchange or removal?
Risks include infection, asymmetry, contour irregularity, or delayed healing, but these are rare and minimized through surgical expertise.
