Breast Implant Replacement: Restore Past Results Our breast implant replacement restores the original look of a past augmentation. We have years of experience replacing previously placed breast prostheses (implants) for a variety of reasons, including symptomatic, medical, or legal reasons. If only the prostheses are being removed and replaced by new ones, the operation is done under general anesthesia If the capsules or scar tissue around the prostheses are also being removed, drains may be placed The breast implant revision will usually be performed through the old incision (scar)
