[av_hr class=’invisible’ height=’2′ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’10px’ custom_margin_bottom=’10px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’] The success of surgery will be most visible after from 6 months to 1 year, and become stable after more than a year. This applies to all kind of surgeries, and this is the reason that a revision surgery gets approximately scheduled after 6 months from the first surgery. The appropriate time for a revision surgery is after 6 months from the first surgery; however, if problems such as implant rupture and/or deformation appear, then a surgery may be done in less than 6 months. Receiving a revision surgery before 6 months may result in adverse effect, so it needs to be decided after a thorough discussion with a breast revision specialist with a lot of experience.

There is not a specific cause, but it can possibly due to the location of implants, hematoma due to infection or bleeding, foreign substance, or constitutional reason. Major symptom is the hardening or deformation of breasts, and when the contraction of abnormally thickened capsule presses implants, patients may have pain in the breast. The formation of globular capsular contracture is affected by the post-operation management, but the important factor is the method of a surgery. A surgery using an endoscopy technique minimizes bleeding, which is one of the causes of globular capsular contracture, and prevents the destruction of tissue. Globular capsular contracture can be divided into four degrees as following. [/av_textblock]

Since breast contracture mostly occurs with breast deformation or asymmetric breasts, a revision surgery should be done by the doctors who have many years of surgery experience and advanced skills if the reason of the revision surgery is the occurrence of globular capsular contracture.

The goal of breast implant revision surgery is to replace old breast implants with new implants. Often the goal is also to change or improve the appearance of the breasts while updating the implant material, which could include:
- A concurrent breast lift or reduction.
- Reshaping the breast implant pocket to reposition the implant on the chest.
- Either increasing or decreasing the size, shape or style of the breast implant.
Over time, breast implants can change shape or size, and the overlying breast tissue can also change, creating an appearance or feel to the breast that is less desirable than the original result. Also, many breast implants have a lifetime warranty on the actual implant device, but after ten years the costs associated with having surgery to replace the implants are no longer covered. Because of this, many women will elect to replace or update their breast implants at or around the 10-year time frame.
Prior to breast correction, it should be checked whether it is due to globular capsular contracture or not. It can be corrected by a simple procedure in the early stage, and if not, a revision surgery should be conducted to correct the asymmetry. In order to have an accurate result, an endoscopy technique should be used to check the pocket of implants and additional exfoliation or muscle incision should be conducted. If patients can feel the implants by touching due to thin skin or rippling occurs, the artificial thick skin is added to thicken the patients’ skin.
