Breast Implant Replacement and Revision with Dr Steve Merten
Breast implants may require review over time, and some patients consider implant replacement or revision due to changes in their preferences, concerns about their existing implants, or changes in breast shape or feel.
Breast implant revision surgery is individualised and may involve replacing implants, removing implants, or addressing other changes depending on the patient`s circumstances and clinical assessment.
If you have breast implants, ongoing review is important to help monitor their condition and discuss any concerns with your surgeon.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
All surgery carries risks and requires a recovery period and post-operative care regime including wearing of surgical garments.
More information is available from the relevant procedure page on our website.
You should seek a second opinion from a Specialist Plastic Surgeon before proceeding.

Bilateral Mastectomies With Nipple Grafts with Dr Steve Merten
Gender-affirming top surgery is an individual decision, and surgical approaches vary according to each person`s anatomy, preferences and goals.
Bilateral mastectomy without nipple grafts involves the removal of breast tissue without reattaching the nipples as free nipple grafts. The suitability of this approach depends on individual circumstances and should be discussed during a consultation with your surgeon.
Dr Steve Merten can discuss the surgical options, incision placement, recovery, potential risks and post-operative care to help patients make informed decisions.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
All surgery carries risks and requires a recovery period and post-operative care regime including wearing of surgical garments.
