Breast Implant Revision

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.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Revision?

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.

Types of Procedures

Breast implant revision encompasses a variety of procedures, each customized to address specific concerns:

  • Implant Replacement or Removal: Some women opt to replace their implants with a different size or type, while others choose to remove them entirely. If implants are removed, a breast lift may be recommended to restore a youthful shape.
  • Capsulectomy: This procedure involves removing scar tissue that has formed around the implant, often due to capsular contracture, which can cause pain and deformity.
  • Implant Pocket Adjustment: The implant pocket may be modified to improve symmetry or correct positioning, ensuring a more natural and balanced appearance.
  • Conversion to Subglandular Placement: For those with implants placed under the muscle, converting to a position above the muscle can improve the appearance and reduce discomfort associated with submuscular placement.

These procedures are customized to meet your specific goals and to achieve the best possible outcome.
