What is implant exchange surgery?
When to change implants?
There are many reasons why a woman might consider a second breast surgery.
At our clinic, each case is evaluated individually to provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the best solution for each specific situation.
Rupture of breast implants
It is crucial to change prostheses when breakage or significant wear is detected.
To determine the integrity of the implants, Dr. Gustavo Sordo uses a high-resolution ultrasound that allows him to clearly visualize the internal state of the prosthesis, identifying breaks or irregularities that are not visible from the outside.
In cases where ultrasound evaluation suggests deeper complications, an MRI is recommended. This imaging technique provides a detailed and complete view of the prosthesis and any possible material leakage, ensuring an accurate diagnosis.
We take preventative measures by using the highest quality implants, whose strength and durability are guaranteed. In the event that a replacement is required, the affected implant will be completely removed, including any scar tissue or related axillary nodules.
The new high-end cohesive gel implants are selected not only for their safety and aesthetics, but also for their ability to optimally integrate with the patient's anatomy, thus minimizing future risks of rupture.
Unnatural result
If the initially chosen size of the prosthesis has not turned out to be adequate, causing a disproportionate appearance, our clinic focuses on achieving a more natural appearance using anatomical implants that adapt better to the shape of the body and avoid excess volume in the upper part of the chest.
Problems with breast volume
In some cases, the chosen size may not satisfy the patient, who then wishes to increase or reduce the volume.
We adapt the size of the implants to the anatomy of each patient to ensure harmonious results in accordance with your preferences.
capsular contracture
This complication occurs when the tissue surrounding the implant hardens, which can deform the breast and cause pain.
In these cases, a capsulectomy is performed to remove the old capsule and replace it with a new prosthesis, reducing the risk of future contractures.
Sagging breast over the implant
Sometimes, due to aging, weight changes, or pregnancy, the breast may sag over the implant.
To correct this, a breast lift may be required in addition to adjusting the implant position.
Asymmetries in the chest
Sometimes the implants have not been placed properly or have shifted over time and there is a problem of asymmetries. These cases are very difficult because they require the use of different techniques and types of breast prostheses.
In this case, the exhaustive analysis of the patient's characteristics carried out by Dr. Gustavo Sordo is essential.
This work makes it possible to design a “tailor-made” intervention for the patient, which, together with the precepts discussed above, allows breast augmentation to be a safe, predictable intervention with highly satisfactory natural results.
If your implants or prosthesis no longer satisfy you, you do not have to suffer. Come to our clinic and ask about the solutions that best suit your situation.
Breast implant replacement surgery cost
We understand that each implant replacement procedure is unique and is influenced by several key factors that can affect the final price of a breast surgery.
The factors that determine the price of the procedure are mainly the reason for replacing the implants, the specific conditions of the breast, the complexity of the procedure and whether it is a secondary surgery.
Therefore, at our clinic, each quote is personalized to reflect individual needs and ensure maximum precision in treatment.
For a simple replacement, the price starts at €4.200, including all necessary surgical procedures. If we consider other options such as capsulectomy, mastopexy, etc., the price will vary.
This cost may vary depending on the specific details of your case and the techniques required to achieve the best possible results.

The complete process
A second breast enlargement operation is a big step. To make the decision you should start from the beginning: make an appointment with Dr. Sordo.
To start the process, it is necessary to schedule an appointment at our Madrid clinic. Here, Dr. Gustavo Sordo will personally evaluate the characteristics of your breast and current implants.

You will be seen directly by the doctor, without any commercial intermediaries. During this consultation, Dr. Sordo will offer you options on the types of implants available that best suit your needs.
In addition, you will undergo a 3D simulation during the consultation, the cost of which (€100) will be deducted from the final amount of the surgery. This simulation will allow you to realistically visualise the possible outcome of the operation and you will be able to access it from the comfort of your home.
During this initial consultation, our goal is to establish open and transparent communication with you, ensuring we understand your needs and desires, and providing you with the guidance necessary to make an informed decision about your cosmetic procedure.
Simulation example
Once the decision has been made on how to proceed, the surgery date will be scheduled.
Before the procedure, you will undergo a preoperative study to ensure that the surgery is performed under safe conditions.
This study includes:
- Analysis with coagulation tests
- Electrocardiogram
- Breast ultrasound
At our clinic, we will provide you with a referral to go to our affiliated laboratory, which will send the results directly to us; you do not need to go and collect them.
Our anesthesiologist and medical team will thoroughly review all of your test results to ensure that everything is in top condition. In addition, we will meet with you again in consultation before surgery to take photographs, discuss any additional details, clarify any last-minute questions you may have, and provide you with all necessary documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions about a Second Breast Surgery
It is a surgery performed when a patient has already undergone previous breast augmentation, reduction or lift surgery and wishes to correct, improve or adjust some aspect of the previous result, whether aesthetic, functional or both.
The most common reasons are:
Changes over time (pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight variations)
Implant displacement
capsular contracture
Desire to change the size or shape of the breasts
Asymmetries or results that no longer match the patient
Each case is different and always requires a personalized assessment.
Yes. In a breast augmentation or implant replacement, our goal is to improve the size and shape of the breast, which is why it is essential to seek proportion with the rest of your physiognomy. For this reason, we carry out a prior study and three-dimensional simulation, testing different types of prostheses until we find the one that best fits your anatomy.

Yes. With the “24h Laser Recovery” technique, you will leave the operating room directly with a bra, without the need for drains or bandages, and you will be able to return to your basic daily activities within 24 hours. Although you will feel fine and lead a normal life, we recommend taking 4-7 days off work to ensure recovery and not subject the body to unnecessary stress.
Yes. We use “TIVA” (Total Intravenous Anesthesia), a new technique that does not use anesthetic gases and will not cause headaches, vomiting or nausea. It is the safest anesthetic technique at present, with which you will be fully monitored and controlled. In addition, we have had our own anesthesiologist on our team for more than 10 years.
Yes. Prostheses can be round or anatomical. Depending on your preferences and your physiognomy, we will use one or the other.
Yes. We do this for greater safety because this way we can monitor you in the hours after the procedure and administer intravenous antibiotics (more effective). The next morning Dr. Sordo will visit you to check on your progress and, if everything is okay, he will discharge you from the hospital.
Yes. Breast augmentation surgery does not affect breastfeeding, the quality or quantity of milk produced by the breast. The breast prosthesis is placed behind the pectoral muscle and does not come into contact with the mammary gland, so it will not affect breastfeeding.
Yes. It is important that you inform the radiologist that you have breast implants, so that the appropriate procedures can be performed.
These are the factors we consider when choosing one implant or another:
- If the patient is not thin and has a significant amount of skin and fat in the upper part of the breast, there will be no difference between the two prostheses. It will make no difference whether a round implant or an anatomical one, since they will look the same from the side.
- If the patient is thin, it will be noticeable from the side which type of implant she has chosen, since the round prosthesis will give a more marked transition at the beginning of the prosthesis, at the top.
- If the patient has an underlying abnormality in the shape of her breast (tuberous breasts, for example), it is recommended that she select an anatomical implant, with the aim of normalizing the shape of her breast as much as possible and giving it a more natural appearance.
- If the patient is not thin and has a significant amount of skin and fat in the upper part of the breast, there will be no difference between the two prostheses. It will make no difference whether a round implant or an anatomical one, since they will look the same from the side.
“TIVA” (Total Intravenous Anesthesia) is a high-quality anesthesia. Its innovative technique avoids the use of anesthetic gases and the well-known headache, vomiting, nausea and discomfort that anesthetic gases can cause.
This is a type of anesthesia that requires more dedication from the professional than common anesthesia with gases, but it greatly increases the well-being and safety of the patient. In our clinic we have our own anesthesiologist and we take the utmost care of these types of details.
The patient is monitored throughout the intervention with the so-called BIS (Bi Spectral Index) that measures sleep constantly.
Even when it comes to general anesthesia, our patients' experience with TIVA anesthesia has been excellent thanks to Dr. Bourgeois, a highly experienced professional who has mastered the technique perfectly.
No, no implant needs to be replaced unless it is ruptured, which can easily be checked with an annual ultrasound.
The average lifespan of the highest-end implants (the ones we use) is around 20 years.
There is no need to replace what is not broken. Remember to have your ultrasound every year and stay in touch with us for your check-ups.
In most cases, the approach to introduce breast prostheses will be via the submammary groove (under the breast groove), with the incision size being approximately 4 cm.
It can also be done on the areola. In any case, we will treat your scar with laser and reduce it by 30% so that no one will notice it.
At Dr. Sordo's clinic we treat scars so that they are minimal, regardless of the approach point.
Once the breast augmentation surgery is over and you are still under general anesthesia, we will apply our scar laser. This is an operating room laser that reduces the scar by up to 30% by activating the healing process at that very moment.
With few exceptions, the implant will be placed under the pectoral muscle.
This is the safest and most comfortable option for the implant and the patient.
You will be able to do light exercise four weeks after the operation as long as you do exercises that do not involve pectoral activity and do not produce vibrations in them.
Three months after breast augmentation, you can introduce more exercises into your routine, such as running, swimming or cycling.
