A breast revision procedure is suitable for individuals who have undergone a previous breast surgery and are dissatisfied with the outcomes or experiencing complications. You may consider a breast revision if you are experiencing implant-related issues, such as rupture, capsular contracture, implant malposition, or size/shape dissatisfaction.

Correction of aesthetic concerns
Breast revision surgery can address aesthetic concerns that may have arisen from the initial breast surgery. This may include issues such as implant malposition, capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant), implant rupture, asymmetry, or dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the breasts. Breast revision can help achieve the desired cosmetic outcome and improve overall breast appearance.
Replacement of implants
In some cases, the initial breast surgery may have resulted in functional problems or discomfort. Breast revision surgery can address issues like breast ptosis (sagging), improper nipple placement, or inadequate breast support. By correcting these functional concerns, breast revision can improve physical comfort and enhance daily functioning.
Resolution of functional issues
Over time, breast implants may need to be replaced due to factors such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or desire for a different implant size or type. Breast revision surgery allows for the removal and replacement of implants, ensuring optimal implant performance and addressing any complications associated with the previous implants.
Improvement of breast symmetry
Breast revision surgery can be used to enhance breast symmetry and achieve a more balanced appearance. This is particularly relevant for individuals who have experienced breast asymmetry after the initial breast surgery or those who desire further refinement to achieve better proportionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is breast revision surgery?
Breast revision surgery, also known as breast implant revision or breast implant removal surgery, is a procedure performed to correct or revise the results of a previous breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery. It may involve removing or replacing breast implants, adjusting implant position, addressing implant-related complications, or improving the overall appearance of the breasts.
Why might someone consider breast revision surgery?
Individuals may consider breast revision surgery for a variety of reasons, such as desiring different implant size or type, correcting complications like rupture or capsular contracture, addressing changes in breast appearance due to life events, or resolving dissatisfaction with prior breast surgery results.
What happens during breast revision surgery?
The specific details of a breast revision surgery will depend on the individual case and the desired outcome. The surgeon may remove or replace breast implants, adjust the implant pocket, perform a breast lift (mastopexy), or use fat transfer techniques to enhance the breast shape. The procedure is tailored to meet the patient’s specific needs and goals.
What is the recovery process like after breast revision surgery?
Recovery after breast revision surgery is similar to that of the initial breast augmentation procedure. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common, but the recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the revision. Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activities and follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions for optimal healing.
Are there risks associated with breast revision surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, breast revision surgery carries certain risks. These can include infection, bleeding, changes in nipple or breast sensation, scarring, implant-related complications, and the need for further revisions. It’s important to discuss the risks and potential complications with your surgeon before proceeding with the surgery.
Can breast revision surgery correct asymmetry or uneven breasts?
The surgeon will assess the specific concerns and customize the procedure to achieve improved symmetry and balance. This may involve adjusting the implant size, reshaping the breast tissue, or using a combination of techniques to create a more harmonious appearance.
Can breast revision surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes, breast revision surgery can often be combined with other procedures, depending on the patient’s needs and goals. For example, a breast lift, fat transfer, or reduction surgery may be performed in conjunction with the revision surgery to achieve the desired outcome. Your surgeon can evaluate your case and discuss the appropriate combination of procedures.
How long do the results of breast revision surgery last?
The longevity of the results from breast revision surgery can vary depending on factors such as the specific procedure performed, the quality of the tissues, and individual factors.
