Correct complications from previous breast surgery, replace aging implants, or refine your results with expert revision techniques for improved aesthetics and comfort.
Breast revision surgery, also known as breast implant revision or secondary breast surgery, is performed to correct complications from previous breast augmentation, replace aging implants, or improve aesthetic results. Common reasons include capsular contracture, implant malposition, size changes, or cosmetic dissatisfaction.
Complex breast revision procedures require specialized expertise and advanced techniques to correct challenging cases. Whether addressing implant replacement, capsule removal, size adjustment, or correction of asymmetry, revision surgery utilizes proven methods to achieve optimal outcomes.
Revision surgery is more complex than primary augmentation and requires a surgeon with specialized expertise. During a consultation, the current situation is evaluated, concerns are discussed, and a customized surgical plan is created to address specific needs.
Address capsular contracture, implant rupture, or malposition for improved comfort and aesthetics.
Replace aging implants with newer, safer technology for peace of mind.
Increase or decrease implant size to achieve your desired breast volume.
Correct asymmetry and achieve better balance between breasts.
Improve overall aesthetic results from previous surgery for natural-looking breasts.
Regain confidence in your appearance with corrected, beautiful results.
Breast revision surgery may be right for you if:
You have capsular contracture causing firmness, distortion, or discomfort
Your implants have ruptured, deflated, or are showing signs of aging
You are dissatisfied with implant size, shape, or placement
You have developed breast asymmetry since your original surgery
You experience rippling, wrinkling, or visible implant edges
You want to change implant type (saline to silicone or vice versa)
You are in good overall health and at a stable weight
You have realistic expectations about revision outcomes
Yes, revision surgery is typically more complex than primary breast augmentation because it involves working with scar tissue, adjusting the existing implant pocket, and potentially correcting complications. This is why it's important to choose an experienced plastic surgeon like your surgeon who specializes in revision procedures.
Yes, many patients choose to change their implant size during revision surgery. You can go larger, smaller, or switch between implant types (saline to silicone). your surgeon will discuss your goals and recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and tissue quality.
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant tightens, causing firmness, distortion, or discomfort. Treatment involves surgical removal of the scar tissue (capsulectomy), implant replacement, and repositioning into a new pocket. Your surgeon uses advanced techniques to minimize recurrence risk.
Your surgeon typically uses your existing incision sites for revision surgery whenever possible to avoid creating new scars. In some cases, additional incisions may be necessary depending on the complexity of the revision. All incisions are placed strategically to minimize visibility.
Implant removal (explantation) is an option if you no longer want breast implants. This can be performed with or without a breast lift depending on your tissue quality and desired outcome. Some patients choose to have their natural breasts restored, while others opt for implant replacement.
