Breast Implant Replacement
Madrid | Zurich
There are various reasons why it may be necessary to replace breast implants. One of the most common causes is the appearance of capsular fibrosis or capsular contracture, which can occur around 10 to 12 years after the implant was placed. This condition is partly linked to the type of implants used in the past. Nowadays, the incidence has been significantly reduced thanks to modern technology, which provides higher-quality materials and designs.
Additionally, some women may experience a gradual stretching of the breast, even when the implant itself is in good condition. This can be an inevitable consequence of the passage of time and changes in skin elasticity. In such cases, an implant replacement might be the ideal option to restore the desired shape and volume.

Which are the most recommended implant brands?
The choice of implant brand depends on anatomical factors and each patient’s preferences. Some of the brands we frequently use in our practice, due to their high quality and guarantee, include:
- Motiva: Next-generation implants with a very natural feel and ergonomic shapes. They have a low rate of capsular contracture and offer a wide range of profiles.
- B-lite: Extremely lightweight implants, up to 30% lighter than other implants of the same size. They reduce breast pressure and help minimize postoperative pain.
- Nagor: Anatomical or round implants that provide the perfect balance between projection and base. Known for their safety and quality.

What are breast implants made of and what shapes are there available?
- Round: With a spherical configuration, it provides a balanced volume between the upper and lower areas of the breast.
- Anatomical: Mimics the breast’s natural shape, offering greater projection in the lower portion.
- Ergonomic: Capable of transforming its shape depending on the patient’s position (round when lying down and more anatomical when upright), imitating the behavior of the mammary gland.

Additional alternatives for patients who do not wish to have implants anymore
Some women, for various reasons, choose to permanently remove the breast implant and still maintain an attractive breast without implants. In these cases, explantation can be combined with surgical techniques that optimize the shape and size of the breast without an implant, such as:
- Breast lift (mastopexy): To lift and reposition the breast.
- Fat transfer (lipofilling): To add volume in a natural way, using the patient’s own body fat.
