TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Breast Implant Replacement is specialist surgery to remove and replace implants that have developed problems or are cosmetically unacceptable.

YOUR SIMPLE
5 STEP
JOURNEY
YOUR SIMPLE 5 STEP JOURNEY
Step 1. Free, no-obligation consultation
Bella Vou offers every client a free consultation with an expert, accredited cosmetic surgeon. There is no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss the problems you have with your breasts and receive an impartial professional opinion. The plastic surgeons will assess you to determine whether you need to have the implants removed and the results you can expect. Mr Amir Nakhdjevani says:
‘We make sure that we advise people correctly about whether surgery is right for them. We treat everyone as if they were our family. At Bella Vou, we never pressurise people or try to sell procedures. It's always about giving an honest opinion and honest advice.’
Step 2. Meet your surgeon
You will be offered a further appointment with your surgeon before proceeding to Breast Implant Replacement. This will give you a chance to find out more about the procedure and to ask any questions you may have.
Step 3. Preparation for Breast Implant Replacement
You’ll be given individual pre-operative advice to reduce your chance of bleeding, bruising and infection, and support your healthy recovery.
It's important to let your surgeon know if you're on any prescription or over-the-counter medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bruising. It's also important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes before and after surgery because they can disrupt the healing process. The Bella Vou team will let you know when to fast in preparation for your general anaesthetic, as soon as they've set your operation time.
On the day of your surgery, you’ll be welcomed to Bella Vou, given a gown to wear and escorted to the state-of-the-art operating theatre.
Step 4. What happens during Breast Implant Replacement?
Breast Implant Replacement is performed under general anaesthetic. You will need to stay in the hospital overnight so that your recovery can be monitored.
The surgeon will make an incision in the crease under the breast and carefully cut away any puckered, lumpy, or unattractive scar tissue. They will remove the existing implant and excise any capsule that has formed around the implant.
The consultant will dissect the tissue to create a new envelope in which to place the new implant. If there is no evidence of infection, a fresh implant can be inserted, and the incisions stitched closed.
It's vital to treat any infection before inserting new implants. If you have an infection, the surgeon will close the wound. They will prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection, then arrange another operation to replace the implants when you have fully recovered.
Your consultant will stitch the incision closed with absorbable sutures that don’t need to be removed. Finally, the wound will be covered with a simple dressing.
Step 5. Recovery from Breast Implant Replacement
You will need to stay in hospital overnight. The staff at Bella Vou will offer analgesia, carefully monitor your recovery, and provide support every step of the way.
Pain, swelling, and bruising are normal following surgery. You will be given a soft sports bra to support your breasts, reduce swelling, and keep you comfortable as you heal.
After a week, the nurse and wound care specialist will check your breasts, examine the scars, and assess your general wellbeing. The soreness and swelling will gradually settle over three weeks. After two weeks, you will be able to reintroduce normal activities slowly. However, excess arm movement, exertion, and avoid heavy lifting should be avoided for up to six weeks.
At around six weeks, your surgeon will check your progress and ensure that you are healthy and happy with your results. You should be back to your usual routine by this stage. At around three months, the breasts will have softened, and you should be able to see the final results. The Bella Vou staff are always available if you have questions or worries at any time.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Amir. I’m so happy I chose to go ahead with my procedure with BellaVou. My scars are barely visible and the customer service is incredible. I’ve had nothing but complements, and I feel much more confident. 10/10! Amir made me feel completely at ease, I didn’t feel nervous at all.

After my very first session with Nikki I noticed a big difference in pain reduction & mobility. After five more sessions, I don’t have any pain & I am able to train as hard as I like without any limitations. I would highly recommend Nikki to anyone.

I have been having treatments with Nikki for the past year after my prostate & bladder operation. I was also suffering with lower back & digestive problems & an old ankle injury. She has helped me tremendously with her magic hands & I would recommend her to anyone.

I am really pleased with my lip lift. People are unsure what has changed but keep saying how well I look. In fact there is a marked difference when you see the reduction in my philtrum. I actually have teeth. The whole experience was straightforward and I was looked after well. Amir is the person I would recommend to anyone for this procedure.
