Would you do breast implant exchange at an outpatient surgery center?

I'm scheduled for breast implant exchange at a same-day surgery center. This surprised me. Has anyone else experienced this and would you do it again?

Outpatient surgery centers are commonly used for breast implant exchanges, and many patients have successful procedures in this setting. The decision about where to have the surgery depends on various factors that the surgical team considers based on individual circumstances. It's completely understandable to have questions about the location - connecting with others who've had similar experiences can provide valuable insights about what to expect during recovery.

I totally agree that outpatient centers are pretty common for this type of procedure - maybe also ask your surgeon about their specific recovery protocols since being at home the same day can feel a bit overwhelming at first.

Yes I did this in April at an out patient center. My surgeon is wonderful and I would do it again if needed.
