For breast implant exchange, Dr. Davis will create the appropriate incisions based on your anatomy and circumstances. She’ll safely remove the old implant and insert the new one with a sterile, no-touch technique. The surgery’s duration will depend on your specific procedural plan.
For breast implant removal, Dr. Davis will create an incision along the lower fold of your breast and around or below the areola. She will remove your implants and the breast capsule, or scar tissue, with a combination of techniques. The surgery’s length will depend on your specific procedural plan.
Immediately following surgery, Dr. Davis will cover your breasts with a soft wrap to wear for the next three days.

Swelling may obscure your breast revision results for a few weeks. As breast revision results are uniquely individual, healing time will vary, and it may take some time for swelling to decrease, sensation to return, and scars to fade. It could take up to six to 12 months before your eventual results are visible and your breasts feel “normal.”
Following a breast implant removal, your results will vary based on several factors:
As with any surgical procedure, it is critical to thoroughly follow Dr. Davis’ pre- and post-operative instructions regarding physical activities to ensure optimal results.
Due to breast revision’s tailored nature, your cost will depend on your unique procedural plan. Dr. Davis will provide an estimate for a more accurate breast revision cost in Beverly Hills during your consultation.
During your breast revision surgery, you will be under anesthesia, so you should not feel discomfort. Following your procedure, Dr. Davis will prescribe you pain medication. Be sure to address your pain concerns with Dr. Davis during your consultation.
