I have textured silicone implants in a subglandular placement and want to replace them with smooth silicone implants under the muscle.
Will the new implants be placed in at the time of removal of the textured ones? Or will it have to be done in two separate procedures so I can heal from the first surgery first. I hate to have to walk around with deflated boobs for months.
Removal of your textured implants and replacement with smooth silicone implants in a new pocket should usually be done in one operation. However, if you have very little native breast tissue and require an extensive total removal of the breast capsule (capsulectomy), then it may be necessary to wait in between the removal and the replacement.
