Short clinical interview between Dr. Charles Mok and a patient (Laura) discussing a breast implant exchange performed 26 years after the original implants. The exchange involved removing a formed capsule and replacing the implants with saline; the patient reports soft, natural-feeling results and minimal downtime (procedure Monday, could have returned to work Thursday though advised to take one week off).

All right, Laura, so tell us what procedure you had done.
What's it called?
We did an implant exchange.
Okay. Implant exchange. Breast implant exchange.
And you had breast implants years ago?
Yes, 26 years ago.
Okay. And then you had. You had a capsule?
Yes.
And so we did the. We replaced with saline.
Right.
And how they feeling now?
They feel good. They feel real soft and they feel natural and they look good.
And before there was a problem you were having before.
They were getting hard, and I didn't realize that it probably took a couple years or more for that capsule to form. And. Yeah, now it's done. They look more natural.
Great. And how much downtime or recovery did you have from that?
Actually, I had it done on a Monday, and I probably could have gone back to work on Thursday, although I was told to take a week off. And of course, now we're at 40 below zero. So I took yesterday off and I'm back to work.
Today. Fantastic. Thank you very much.
