What to Expect

Before, During, and After Your Breast Implant Exchange Surgery in Houston

1. Attend a One-on-One Consultation.

If you're interested in a breast implant exchange Houston patients will first meet with a physician for a one-on-one consultation. We take the time to get to know you—your goals, medical history, existing breast implant shape, size, and type, current nipple orientation, and more.

2. Review Your Treatment Plan.

Dr. Downey and Dr. Bullocks collaborate on every patient case to best advise you on the best approach for your unique needs, including the incision technique, placement, shape and texture of implant, and more. We may also build a highly personalized treatment plan that includes a combination of other surgical procedures, such as a breast lift or fat grafting, to achieve the best possible results.

3. Make Your Decision.

At Heights Plastic Surgery, our mission is to give you the information you need to decide what will work best for your desires, timeline, and budget. After we make recommendations, we give you the space and time to make your own decision.

4. Schedule Your Breast Implant Exchange.

We will schedule your breast implant exchange—an outpatient procedure performed in our private, on-site surgery center—for a day and time that works best for you. You'll want to factor in about 1 to 2 weeks of downtime from everyday activities and work after your procedure.

5. Arrive for Surgery.

We will provide you with all of the ways you can best prepare for the procedure well in advance of your breast implant exchange surgery in Houston. When you arrive, we will escort you to our state-of-the-art surgical suite, and review our process in detail once more.

6. Getting Your Breast Implant Exchanged.

Your highly skilled surgeon will be in the operating room from start to finish, executing every detail of your agreed-upon plan for your breast implant exchange. Make sure you have a plan for getting home after your procedure, as you will not be able to drive yourself.

7. Follow Up.

When you book your breast implant exchange in Houston at Heights Plastic Surgery, we will also book you for follow-up visits to meet with your surgeon to monitor the area. This important step ensures you are healing properly, safely, and efficiently.
