Breast Revision Surgery

---

Breast revision surgery is a procedure designed to correct, replace, or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. Whether due to implant complications, changes in aesthetic preferences, or the natural aging process, breast revision helps patients achieve the look and comfort they desire.

Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and some women may require revision surgery after years of wear or due to lifestyle changes. Our goal is to provide a customized solution that enhances both appearance and confidence.

Breast revision is ideal for women who:
✔ Want to change their implant size, shape, or material
✔ Experience implant-related complications such as rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture
✔ Have asymmetry or dissatisfaction with the results of a prior surgery
✔ Notice sagging or changes in breast shape due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations
✔ Have implants that are over 10-15 years old and want an update

During your consultation, we will evaluate your current implants, breast tissue, and aesthetic goals to develop a personalized surgical plan.

Some patients choose to replace their implants with a different size, shape, or material, such as switching from saline to silicone or opting for newer implant technology.

Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant hardens, causing discomfort and distortion. Revision surgery removes the scar tissue and may replace the implants.

While rare, both saline and silicone implants can rupture over time. Saline leaks are safely absorbed by the body, while silicone ruptures may require imaging for detection. A revision replaces the damaged implant and restores breast shape.

Implants can shift from their original position, leading to an unnatural appearance. Revision surgery repositions the implants and may reinforce the breast pocket for long-term stability.

Weight changes, pregnancy, and aging can alter breast shape even with implants. Many women combine revision with a breast lift to restore a youthful, perky contour.

Some women choose to have their implants removed permanently. This can be combined with a breast lift or fat transfer to maintain a natural, beautiful shape.

Breast revision surgery varies based on the reason for revision and individual needs. The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are often placed in the same locations as previous surgeries to minimize additional scarring.

Recovery Timeline:

• Light activities can resume within 1-2 weeks
• Swelling and bruising improve over a few weeks
• Final results become visible in 3-6 months as the breasts settle
