The size of the breast can be improved or augmented using primary augmentation.  This is done via a procedure called primary reconstruction.  The augmented breast may need to undergo some reconstruction in the future, which may necessitate the remove and replacement of the implant.  There are natural changes to the breast tissue as the woman increase in age and this can necessitate the reconstruction or replacement mentioned earlier.

Aside natural aging that may prompt replacement or reconstruction, the breast implant can also be replaced if the woman ends up experiencing one form of complication or the other after the breast implant has been embedded. Such complications can occur if the woman goes for the breast implant between 30 and 45 years of age.  The complication occurs in form uneven contouring of the breast after or during menopause.  There will be some difference in the size and appearance of the breast and the best way to deal with such issue is to do a reconstruction, removal or replacement of the implant.
