Breast Revision Surgery

You may be a good candidate for breast revision surgery if you experience:

Implant-Related Concerns

• Implant rupture or leakage
• Capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant)
• Implant malposition (bottoming out, lateral displacement, symmastia)
• Visible rippling or implant edges
• Desire to change implant size, type, or position

Cosmetic or Functional Concerns

• Dissatisfaction with the appearance of previous results
• Breast shape or volume changes after pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations
• Asymmetry between the breasts
• Sagging or deflation of the breasts
• Uncomfortable heaviness or changes in skin elasticity

General Requirements

• Good overall health
• Healthy and stable body weight
• Non-smoker (or willing to quit before and after surgery)
• Realistic expectations about results

Whether your goal is improvement, correction, or complete transformation, breast revision can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.

Your surgeon will customize your revision plan based on your anatomy, concerns, and desired outcome.

1. Implant Exchange

   Replacing existing implants with:
   • A different size (smaller or larger)
   • A different type
   • A different profile for improved projection

   Often performed to refresh results or meet new aesthetic goals.

2. Implant Removal
   Removing the implants completely, with or without a lift. Ideal for women who prefer a more natural look or no longer want implants.
3. Capsular Contracture Correction
   Removing or releasing hardened scar tissue to restore softness and symmetry.
4. Correction of Implant Malposition
   Refining the implant pocket to correct issues such as:
   • Bottoming out
   • Lateral displacement
   • Symmastia
   • High-riding implants
5. Breast Lift with Revision
   Used when sagging or stretched skin affects breast shape after implant based augmentation. Provides a firmer, more elevated contour.
6. Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer)
   Often used to:
   • Improve symmetry
   • Soften visible implant edges
   • Enhance shape or upper pole fullness

1. Consultation & Planning
   Your surgeon evaluates the current implants, breast tissue, skin elasticity, and any complications to design an individualized surgical plan.
2. Anesthesia
   Revision surgery is performed under general anesthesia for safety and comfort.
3. Incision Placement
   Incisions are typically made in the same locations as previous surgeries when possible to minimize new scarring.
4. Correction & Reconstruction
   Depending on your needs, the surgeon may:
   • Remove or replace implants
   • Repair or reconstruct the implant pocket
   • Remove or release scar tissue
   • Perform a lift for improved shape
   • Add fat grafting for contour refinement
5. Closing & Support
   Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and you will be placed in a compression bra for 8 weeks and implant supporting band (if needed) for 2 weeks after the surgery

Early Recovery

• Swelling, tightness, and mild soreness are normal
• Pain is manageable with prescribed medications
• Most patients return to light activity within a few days
• Surgical bra worn for 8 weeks
• Drains may be used depending on the complexity of the revision

Activity Guidelines

• Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 8 weeks
• Sleep on your back during the early healing phase
• Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and implant positioning

Final Results

• Initial improvement is noticeable immediately
• Breasts continue to soften and settle over 3–6 months
• Long-lasting results with stable weight and healthy habits

Revision procedures often provide significant aesthetic and comfort improvements.
