2 Types of Fluid Exchanges (1) Flushes and (2) Replacement
(1) - Flushes - On high mileage cars, a flush is not recommended because deposits can clog the solenoid channels and valves
(2) Replacement - You simply drain and refill. This is recommended on any car that hasn't had the transmission fluid replaced in a long time. You aren't flushing so the deposits don't get all dislodged.
This is all the general consensus. Replacement is always recommended, especially if you're at 125k.
I need to do mine too, currently at 91k. Sometime during my 100k Service I'll take care of it. There's a great video online with a guy doing it on his GS350, it's the benchmark video to follow when working with Lexus's sealed transmissions if you're into DIY.

That said, our cars not having an external cooler at the front make it 100% unlikely to be flushed as there are no lines to disconnect, just a heat exchanger right on the case.
