Breast implant revision is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct or improve the results of previous breast surgeries. Whether due to aesthetic concerns, complications, or changes in personal preferences, this surgery offers an opportunity to enhance the appearance and feel of your breasts. The procedure may involve replacing or removing implants, correcting implant position, or addressing issues like capsular contracture. The procedure aims to achieve a more natural, symmetrical, and satisfying result.
Candidates for breast implant revision are individuals who have undergone previous breast augmentation or breast reconstruction and are seeking improvement. Reasons for revision can include dissatisfaction with the initial results, complications such as implant rupture or hardening, or changes in aesthetic preferences. It is advisable to wait at least six months after your initial surgery before considering revision, as this allows for swelling to subside and scars to mature. If you are experiencing discomfort or breast asymmetry or simply wish to change the size or type of your implants, breast implant revision may be right for you.
