Breast Implant Removal or Exchange in Dubai: Revitalize Your Confidence with Dr. Vikesh Vij

Breast implants can be a life-changing choice, but over time, personal preferences, lifestyle changes, or medical needs might prompt you to consider breast implant removal or exchanging. Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a newer implant type, address complications, or embrace a more natural look, breast implant exchange or removal can help you achieve your desired outcome. With Dr. Vikesh Vij, one of Dubai’s leading plastic surgeons, you’re assured of expert care and natural-looking results tailored to your needs.

What is Breast Implant Removal or Exchange?

 

Breast implant removal or exchange is a surgical procedure that involves either replacing existing breast implants with new ones or removing them entirely. The procedure addresses various reasons, such as:

• Personal Preferences: A change in aesthetic goals or lifestyle.
• Medical Reasons: Addressing complications like capsular contracture, rupture, or breast implant illness (BII).
• Aging or Lifestyle Changes: Restoring balance to the breasts after weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging.

Understanding Breast Implant Illness (BII)

Breast Implant Illness (BII) refers to a range of symptoms that some women report after receiving breast implants. While BII is not a formally recognized medical diagnosis, it has been linked to autoimmune or inflammatory reactions in some individuals. Common symptoms include:

• Chronic fatigue
• Joint or muscle pain
• Brain fog or memory issues
• Skin rashes
• Hair loss
• Anxiety or depression

For women experiencing these symptoms, implant removal (explant surgery) may provide relief. Dr. Vikesh Vij is experienced in addressing concerns related to BII, offering compassionate care and evidence-based solutions to help patients regain their health and confidence.

Why Consider Breast Implant Removal Or Exchange?

  • Upgrade to Modern Implants:

  • Switch to newer, safer implant materials or adjust size and shape.

  • Address Capsular Contracture or BII:

  • Correct complications like hardened scar tissue or address symptoms potentially linked to breast implant illness.

  • Achieve a More Natural Look:

  • Remove implants for a natural breast contour, with or without additional lifting.

  • Replace Aging Implants:

  • Implants are not lifetime devices; many women choose to replace them after 10-15 years.

  • Medical Concerns

  • Respond to issues like rupture, leakage, or discomfort.
