About this procedure
Breast revision surgery is a procedure designed to address concerns from a previous breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. Whether you want to change implant size, improve breast shape, correct complications, or update older implants, breast revision can help achieve results that better match your current goals.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Personal Consultation
Your surgeon will evaluate your current breast appearance, discuss your concerns, and create a customized treatment plan.
Imaging and a detailed examination may be used to assess implants and breast tissue.
Surgery
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on your needs, the surgeon may:
Replace or remove existing implants
Change implant size or type
Correct implant position
Improve breast symmetry
Address scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture)
Combine revision with a breast lift for enhanced shape and support
Recovery
Recovery varies depending on the complexity of the revision.
Most patients can return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks.
Swelling and discomfort gradually improve over the following weeks.
3 Cases That May Require Breast Revision
1. Bilateral Breast Asymmetry
In cases where asymmetry in both breasts is visible due to differences in size, shape, and breast inframammary fold, correction is possible through revision surgery.
2. Capsular Contracture
If capsular contracture occurs due to post-operative infection, hematoma, surgical technique, etc., revision surgery is essential.
3. Size & Shape Dissatisfaction
If the volume is insufficient or excessive compared to the size you originally wanted, improvement is possible through revision surgery.
