Wellness Kliniek is the clinic for breast implant replacement or removal. As the European market leader in breast augmentation, safety and quality are our priority. The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek are experienced and give personal advice.
Breast prosthesis replacement is done, for example, for aesthetic reasons (enlarging or shrinking), to address complications from a previous breast augmentation or to replace old implants with the most secure breast implants on the market.

Removing and replacing breast implants is among the specialisms of the surgeons at Wellness Kliniek. The doctors have already performed thousands of successful breast surgeries, this with ISO 9001 quality assurance.
Breast implant exchange surgery is similar to breast implant removal surgery. Our surgeons will remove the implants and follow the normal procedure for implant surgery. For a full breakdown of the surgery, visit our breast implants page.
The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek use the best brands of implants on the market. Replacing implants? Or remove implants? The executive doctor will discuss the options with you and advise on the best brand of breast implant for your needs and body. This makes breast implant replacement extra safe.
The breast implant replacement surgery depends on your current breast implants and your wishes for the correction. During the consultation with the surgeon at Wellness Kliniek Belgium (or Barcelona), you will discuss in detail how the procedure works for you.
During breast implant revision, we replace the current implants with high-quality, new implants. On average, the procedure takes 45 minutes. During this, you will be given a light sleep anaesthetic or narcosis. We make the incision as small as possible, 2 to 3 centimetres.
At Wellness Kliniek, we believe it is important to make breast surgery affordable for everyone. Therefore, we offer competitive and transparent all-in rates for breast implant replacements up to 500cc and larger than 500cc.
You will discuss your wishes and expectations with the surgeon. The surgeon will calculate the volume of implants according to your wishes, so you know what to expect. Take a look at our current prices for a breast prosthesis exchange here.
| Breast implants exchange | up to 500cc | € 2995 |
| Breast implants exchange: greather than 500cc | € 3850 |
All prices are including VAT.
At the Wellness Kliniek you can pay in installments. We offer financing for your Breast Implants Exchange. No small print, no paperwork. Process the credit 100% online, from your mobile or computer. Receive it in your account in less than 24 hours once approved. Choose the installment that best suits your needs.
A revision of breast implants can have several reasons. Perhaps you are no longer happy with the size of your prostheses or you no longer like the shape or profile for whatever reason. A crack or hardening in old (unsafe) breast implants can also be a reason.
Every reason is personal and you can count on understanding from the highly qualified team of top surgeons at Wellness Kliniek. The surgeon will discuss breast revision and prosthesis change options during a personal consultation.
The main reason for ladies to opt for breast implant replacements is because of current size and/or shape. You may be ready for a larger cup size or just a smaller cup size. A body changes throughout life and you may find that the size of your breasts does not fit the rest of your body (anymore).
Gaining weight, losing weight, pregnancy and its hormones can affect the shape and size of your breasts. Should you want to lose weight, it is recommended to do so before surgery implants replacement.
Do you suffer from capsular contracture or have other discomforts due to your current breast implants? Then book a no-obligation consultation for professional advice from a surgeon. Replacing current breast implants with quality and the safest implants on the market is among the options.
You may also have doubts about the quality of your current implants. In the media, you sometimes hear stories about a leaking breast prosthesis. Leaking breast implants mainly occur in prostheses placed in the 1990s or earlier. The breast implants used today are of excellent quality.
Of course, it is always a good idea to have your prostheses checked from time to time. Checking implants? The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek can do that for you.
European implant manufacturers give a 10-year guarantee against leakage. Changing implants every 10 years is recommended by surgeons at Wellness Kliniek to minimise the risk of cracks and leaks.
Would you rather have your implants removed? That too is possible. After removing the breast implants, the breasts will look more or less as they did before the breast augmentation. Of course, the skin may have sagged and the breasts may have started to droop more, a natural consequence of ageing. In that case, breast implant removal can be combined with a breast lift.
No overnight stay is generally required after surgery. Most women feel some discomfort. Recovery from surgery breast implants replacement takes 4 to 7 days. You will wear compression bandages for 12 days and should not do heavy lifting or exercise for about six weeks. The final result (indentation of new breast implants maximising results) is visible within 6 months.
If your implants are 10 years old, if the current breast implants bother you or if you want to change the current cup size, you can have silicone implants replaced or removed. Also if you would like to change shape. In exceptional cases, replacing silicone implants is a necessity rather than a wish.
In some cases, the body forms a hard capsule around the implant: the breasts become hard and hurt. Usually, the surgeon can remove the capsule under intravenous anaesthesia. Unfortunately, sometimes the implants are damaged and need to be replaced.
The body may also reject the implants. Rejection and capsule formation are rare. Usually, everything goes smoothly and you have years of pleasure from new implants.
On 20 October 2021, a general safety warning was issued about Mentor Smooth Round Saline implants. A small portion had a manufacturing defect, which could cause them to leak. Wellness Kliniek surgeons did not use these implants with manufacturing defects. Have you had Mentor implants placed elsewhere and have doubts about the quality? Then get checked and advised by a surgeon at Wellness Kliniek.
Encapsulation causes the breasts to feel harder. It is not dangerous, but can cause pain. Fortunately, the risk of excessive encapsulation is not very high.
Excessive encapsulation may need to be removed when placing new breast implants. The surgeon at Wellness Kliniek will examine you first for this and remove the breast capsule during surgery if this is necessary replacing old breast implants.
Breast implant revision is normally a low-risk operation. Moreover, the surgeons use the best brands of implants on the market and match the best implant based on your needs and physique.
The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek have a lot of experience and Wellness Kliniek Belgium has been number 1 in the list of best experience and plastic surgery clinics for years, according to (independent) research by WhatClinic.
Breast implant removal can be done for several reasons. You may no longer be happy with your larger cup size, or it may be time to replace them.
Some people develop complications such as capsular contracture (hardening of the scar tissue around the implant), implant leakage or rupture, infection, or pain. These complications may be medical reasons for breast implant removal.
Do you worry about possible long-term risks of breast implants, such as the possible link with rare cancers, such as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)? If so, this may prompt you to have your implants removed preventively.
You don't have to have a specific reason to have breast prostheses removed. The procedure is usually quick and easy. Contact us to schedule an appointment/consult.
After the removal of implants, the breasts will look more or less as they did before the breast augmentation. However, the skin might be a little saggy. This is why some women combine implant removal with a breast lift. Personal advice based on your body is important here, and this will be discussed during the no-obligation consultation.
The greatest recovery after implant removal takes about a week. However, it does take a little longer until you are fully recovered. That takes about 6 weeks. Moreover, the result is not yet immediately visible, your breasts need some time to get used to a body without implants. 1 year after explantation, the skin is completely pulled back as far as it can go and the final result of breast implant removal is visible.
The meaning of explantation is the removal of breast implants, also called breast prostheses. Explantation is the removal of one or two prostheses. This procedure can be performed for various reasons, such as health problems, complications, aesthetic considerations, or personal preferences of the patient. Explantation at Wellness Clinic is often accompanied by a breast lift to correct the sagging, excess skin after explantation, returning your breasts to a beautiful natural shape.
So the explantation before and after result is usually not the same as how your breasts looked before your breast augmentation. The final result after explantation depends on the skin elasticity of your breasts, the duration and size of the implants, and your amount of natural breast tissue.

At Wellness Kliniek, we are proud of the WhatClinic Award for outstanding patient experiences, which we have won several times! Wellness Kliniek also offers the demonstrable quality label ISO 9001.
No, it does not hurt. The appropriate anaesthetics are included in the all-in implant removal cost. So you won't feel anything from the procedure.
Having breast implants removed usually takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether additional procedures, such as a breast lift, are performed. After your breast implants are extracted, a recovery period of about 6 weeks follows.
Having your breast implants removed or replaced is a choice only you can make yourself. The expert doctors at Wellness Kliniek will be happy to help you make a well-informed choice. You are not on your own! Based on your doubts, the doctor can advise you, and tell you transparently about the advantages and disadvantages of both choices. The consultation is non-binding, so that afterwards you can think calmly about what you want.
Are you sure you want to have implants removed, but would like to keep your full bosom? Then you can have the implants removed, and also opt for natural breast augmentation with your own fat. It is important to know that the cup size can be increased by about one size with this procedure. So you cannot always obtain the same cup size as with breast implants.
At Wellness Kliniek, we consider it extremely important to give you personalised advice. The surgeon at the clinic is experienced in breast implant removal and can tell you what to expect from the result on your body. All options can be discussed, from implant removal to replacement or a combination with another procedure, such as a breast lift or breast augmentation with your own fat. So you know where you stand in advance and make a well-considered choice for the procedure.
You can also go to Wellness Kliniek for Next Day Surgery. This means that the consultation and treatment can take place on consecutive days.
Choosing whether you want or should replace your breast implants is a decision that is not taken lightly. That's why you always book a no-obligation consultation beforehand at Wellness Kliniek. In it, the surgeon will go through the options in detail.
Breast implant replacement or breast implant removal? Book your appointment now and get advice on the revision of your breasts.
During your consultation, you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are a suitable candidate.
During your consultation you can expect:
Depending on the type of treatment, your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation, local or general anaesthesia. More information about all types of anesthesia can be found on this page.
Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect.
After surgery, incisions are closed with dissoluble sutures and necessary plasters and bandages are applied. When general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation is applied, the anaesthetist will start the wake up process and you will be transferred to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them. Depending on the type of surgery you might be expected to return for a follow-up consultation. You will be informed accordingly by our team members.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
Our team of aesthetic surgeons are amongst the most experienced and qualified in their field. They will make sure that you are well-informed, offered honest advice, assured, comfortable and safe during every stage of your procedure.
With well over 3000 breast augmentations per year, our surgical team is among the most experienced in breast implant surgery worldwide. Because of our large number of patients, we can offer lower prices for the Monobloc Silicone SoftOne implant.
We make sure we put safety, expertise and patient satisfaction at the core of what we do. We consider it to be extremely important for you to be able to balance the risks and the expected results as well as possible. This is why you are always entitled to free preoperative consultations.
