Secondary breast surgery in Alicante
If your implants no longer feel right for you, cause discomfort or need reassessment, we plan a safe, personalised solution.
Book an appointmentBreast implant exchange or permanent implant removal is a secondary breast surgery designed to replace or remove previous implants and refine the surrounding tissues, with the aim of improving breast appearance, health, comfort and quality of life.
Secondary breast surgery can be needed for many reasons: implant rupture or wear, capsular contracture, implant rotation, infection, malposition, asymmetry, bottoming out, rippling, breast sagging or a previous result that no longer feels harmonious.
Some women also choose this surgery because their lifestyle, body or personal taste has changed over time. Others simply want to remove their implants permanently and feel comfortable again with a more natural breast.
The goal is to resolve the reason for surgery while restoring a breast shape that feels natural, balanced and in harmony with the patient’s current anatomy and expectations.
Although correcting a breast that has already been operated on is more complex than a first surgery, MARLA CLINIC has extensive experience in secondary breast procedures. Dr Laredo is a specialist in reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery, with a meticulous approach to complex cases.
It may be suitable if you want to replace your implants, remove them permanently, correct a previous result, treat a complication or achieve a breast appearance that better suits your current body and lifestyle.
Yes. Implant exchange or removal can be combined with procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction, facelift, facial lipofilling, rhinoplasty or eyelid surgery when the medical assessment confirms it is appropriate.
Recovery times are often similar to, or even faster than, a first breast augmentation. During the first 3 or 4 days you should avoid effort and limit arm movements. Many patients return to a calm routine from day four, while more active tasks usually require around two weeks.
Gentle or moderate exercise is usually resumed after about one month. More intense exercise generally requires 2 to 3 months, depending on the procedure performed and your recovery.
The result is usually very long-lasting and, in some cases, permanent. If implants are replaced, future surgery is not scheduled at a fixed date; it is assessed only if a complication appears or if the patient wants another aesthetic change.
It is considered safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon in a hospital setting. MARLA CLINIC operates inside Hospital Vithas Alicante, with specialised teams, hospital resources and careful follow-up.
Yes. Mammograms and recommended imaging tests can be performed normally and reliably. You simply need to inform the imaging team that you have breast implants so they can use the appropriate technique.
The price is personalised because the procedure varies depending on the reason for surgery, implant status, scar tissue, need for mastopexy, fat transfer or other corrective work. The final quote is provided after consultation.
