How long does a breast implant exchange and lift surgery take?

May 8, 2025
Asked By:Elle2127 in Newport Beach, California

I have consulted with several doctors about doing an implant exchange (to a smaller implant) and lift. Some doctors have said it will take 7 hours, others have said 2.5 hours, others 4 hours. Does 2.5 hours raise a red flag?
