How Much Does It Cost if I Need to Replace My Breast Implants?
Posted April 16, 2026 in Breast Implants
After breast surgery with implants or previous breast augmentations, complications could affect the outcome of your results. While these problems could lead to undesirable outcomes, there is a way to fix them and achieve the results you originally hoped for.
If you find yourself considering breast implant replacement or breast revision surgery, you may be wondering about the cost of these potential revisions. The total cost of breast implant replacement varies from person to person.

Breast implant replacement costs depend on your personal needs and your desired outcome. For example, a removal with a breast lift is more expensive than a standard breast implant removal.
At Careaga Plastic Surgery, the average cost of breast implant revision surgery starts at:
- Implant removal: $3,000+
- Implant removal and lift (no implant): $7,000+
Our team at Careaga Plastic Surgery offers Motiva® implants for your breast implant revision surgery.
The Motiva® breast implant policy includes:
- Lifetime “Always Confident Warranty” for rupture
- Up to $3,500 in financial assistance for 10 years
- 10-year product replacement warranty for Baker Grade III/IV capsular contraction
- Extended warranty options
For those with health insurance, it’s important to note that cosmetic breast augmentation is typically not covered by insurance. It’s classified as elective and cosmetic, meaning many patients usually pay out of pocket or through financing options.
Careaga Plastic Surgery also offers financing options for patients seeking breast implant replacement, revision procedures, and other cosmetic breast augmentations.
The best way to determine which replacement implants or breast augmentation surgery would work best for you or your financing options is through consultation. To schedule your appointment, call (305) 960-7511 or fill out our online contact form.

“After a horrific experience 2 years ago today, I went with another surgeon to correct my botched breast augmentation. Dr. Careaga, out of Miami at Careaga Plastic Surgery, did a wonderful job. I went from 550cc to 745cc to get my desired results and couldn’t be happier.” – L. A. (Realself)
Capsular Rupture and Breast Implant Replacement
Breast implant surgery complications can affect the appearance and comfort of your breasts and the natural breast tissue. One complication that may occur is implant rupture, which is when a hole or tear appears in the outer shell of an implant.
Silicone implants can rupture in two different ways.
- Intracapsular rupture: When the silicone gel remains confirmed in the scar tissue around the implant.
- Extracapsular rupture: When the silicone gel migrates past the scar tissue to other areas of the body.
When this happens, removal of the implant is highly recommended. You can replace the ruptured implant to achieve your desired result once it is safely removed.
Other reasons to replace the implant may affect you, such as:
- Capsular Contracture
- Implant size change
- Implant displacement
- Wanting to change the implant type
Capsular contracture occurs when the body forms a tight, fibrous capsule around the breast implant, which can cause the breast to feel firm, look misshapen, or become painful, potentially requiring additional revision surgery.
While breast implants are not shown to be linked to increased risks of breast cancer or other systemic diseases, it’s important to discuss your options with your surgeon at an accredited surgical facility to see if a breast implant replacement is right for you.
