Implant exchange
Breast implant exchange is performed to replace existing implants with new ones. This may be to adjust size, change the type of implant or to refresh the look and feel of the breasts. Sometimes it is done to address aesthetic issues from previous surgeries or to treat some of the more common complications of breast implants, such as rupture or capsular contracture. It can also restore shape and volume that may have changed over time due to ageing, pregnancy or weight fluctuations.
Whether your goals are aesthetic, functional or both, Mr Khan takes a personalised approach to ensure the outcome aligns with your vision. Swapping breast implants is carefully planned, with options such as combining the exchange with a breast lift for a more youthful contour. By blending surgical precision with a deep focus on patient care, the aim is to deliver results that feel natural, balanced and uniquely yours.

What to expect
If you’re considering breast implant exchange, it’s important to understand the procedure, which is similar to augmentation and usually takes two to three hours under general anaesthesia.
I came to Mr Khan after a failed journey with other surgeons. It was worth every single second of time, energy, travel, and cost. I am beyond thrilled with my results, but the biggest change you will see, is not just the surgery I’ve had, but the smile it’s left on my face.
