It contains a short conversational interview between Dr. Charles Mok and a patient (addressed as Laura) about a breast implant exchange procedure — discussion covers the original implants (placed 26 years earlier), capsular contracture, replacement with saline implants, how they feel/look now, and recovery/downtime.

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.
