RTL Explosiv accompanied patient Larissa during her implant exchange in Düsseldorf. Pain and hardening made the exchange urgent – modern implants now ensure a safe and aesthetic result.
Why an exchange was necessary
The old implants originated from an operation performed abroad and showed quality defects. Capsular contractures caused pain, and Larissa also wished for more volume. Prior to the procedure, we analysed the tissue situation, breast shape, and skin quality in order to determine the appropriate size and position of the new implants.
The surgical procedure
Under general anaesthesia, we first removed the old implants as well as the scarred capsular tissue. This was followed by the placement of anatomical premium implants and the shaping of a harmonious décolleté. The desired D-cup was achieved – with soft transitions and a stable form.
Aftercare & Safety
After the exchange, patients wear a specialist bra for six weeks. Regular check-ups, scar care, and abstaining from nicotine support the healing process. High-quality implants come with guarantees and significantly reduce the risk of further complications.
Emotional support
An implant exchange is often associated with uncertainty. Transparent counselling, an experienced surgical team, and close support before and after the operation help to restore confidence – for a result that feels right and brings lasting satisfaction.
