I got mine quite a while back, properly breastfed three children with them, and now it's time to replace them.”)

WhatsAppThat is all this article relies on. She did not name a clinic, a surgeon or the implant type she was choosing for the replacement, and we do not guess at any of it. Where the text below explains implant exchange and recovery, it describes the procedure in general, not her treatment.
Why her openness matters
What stands out in Klingor Mihić's post is not just that she had implants, but that she was equally open about why she was going back under the knife years later: not a complication she described in detail, but simply the normal point at which long-used implants get replaced, after raising three children with them along the way.

This article does not comment on her appearance or judge her decision; the point is that she chose to talk about a step many women with older implants eventually face, instead of staying silent about it.

How an implant exchange is done today
A breast implant replacement is a full surgical procedure, performed under general anaesthesia, followed by one day in hospital — the same setting as a first augmentation. The surgeon opens the original scar where possible, removes the existing implants, inspects the surrounding tissue (the capsule) for any thickening or hardening, and places new implants, which can be the same size as before or a different one depending on what the patient wants and how the tissue has changed.
Capsule check
- What happens
- Surgeon examines the tissue around the old implants
- Why it matters
- Scar-tissue thickening (capsular contracture) may need to be treated at the same time
Implant choice
- What happens
- Same size or a new size/profile, silicone or saline, round or anatomical
- Why it matters
- Breastfeeding and years of wear can change how the breast settles, so the original choice is reassessed
Placement
- What happens
- Under the muscle or in front of it
- Why it matters
- Depends on the original placement and the current tissue thickness
Which combination applies is decided at the consultation, based on an examination, not a celebrity's story.
Who considers a replacement and how to prepare
Women consider an implant exchange after breastfeeding, once the originally stated lifespan of the implants has passed, or when a change in shape, firmness or symmetry appears over the years, as in Klingor Mihić's case.
- Tests: blood tests, coagulation, infection tests, ECG, chest X-ray and breast ultrasound to assess the current implants before surgery.
- Medication: blood-thinning medicines, steroids and hormonal drugs are stopped in agreement with the doctor; oral contraceptives at least a month before.
- Risks to discuss: capsular contracture, implant rupture signs, asymmetry, changes in nipple sensitivity and wound healing around the old scar.
What recovery looks like
Recovery after an implant exchange generally follows the same pattern as a first augmentation. Non-physical work is possible after 7–14 days. By about three weeks the post-operative swelling has mostly gone and scars have formed, with no lifting over 3 kg and no raising the arms above shoulder level.
By one month the breasts take on a more natural shape and softness, and fitness, swimming and the pool are usually allowed at 4–6 weeks, with a compression garment worn for that period. By three months discomfort has generally disappeared, the tissue has settled around the new implants, and strength training is usually cleared.
How recovery after an implant exchange usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, the old implants are removed and new ones placed; one day in hospital.
- Days 1–3Moderate discomfort; rest, with help at home if possible.
- Days 7–14Return to non-physical work.
- About 3 weeksSwelling mostly gone; scars form; no lifting over 3 kg.
- Weeks 4–6Compression garment no longer needed; fitness and swimming allowed.
- 3 monthsDiscomfort gone, tissue settled around the implants; strength training allowed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does breast augmentation cost at City Medical Centre?
It costs $4,700 all-inclusive: anaesthesia, the hospital stay and a year of follow-up by the plastic surgeon. The first consultation is free.
