Breast Implant Revision

Breast implant revision surgery is a procedure aimed at improving the appearance and comfort of breasts that have undergone previous surgeries. These procedures are necessary when the initial surgery results in aesthetic dissatisfaction, discomfort, or complications. Revision surgery can involve reshaping the breast, breast implant removal, or correcting issues such as tightness or pain. Our clinic offers expert care to ensure that each patient achieves the desired outcome, enhancing both physical comfort and self-confidence.

Who Should Consider Breast Implant Revision?

Breast implant revision is suitable for individuals who are unhappy with the results of their previous breast surgery or who are experiencing complications. It is generally recommended to wait at least six months after the initial surgery before considering a revision. This allows time for swelling to subside and scars to mature. However, an early consultation can help you explore your options and plan the best course of action for your revision surgery.

Types of Breast Implant Revision Procedures

Breast implant revision encompasses a variety of procedures, each designed to address specific issues and improve the overall appearance and comfort of your breasts. Whether you are seeking to correct complications from previous surgery or enhance your breast aesthetics, our clinic offers a range of options. Below is an overview of the most common procedures:

• Removal or Replacement of Implants: Some patients opt to replace saline implants with silicone gel for a more natural look and feel or to remove implants entirely.
• Adjustment of Implant Placement: Adjusting the breast implant pocket can enhance symmetry and improve the overall appearance of augmented breasts.
• Capsulectomy for Capsular Contracture: This procedure involves removing scar tissue around the implant to relieve tightness and discomfort and improve breast shape.
• Relocation of Pectoralis Muscles: This corrects “motion deformity” by placing the pectoralis muscles back onto the chest wall and repositioning the implants above the muscle.
• Conversion to Subglandular Placement: Moving implants from beneath the muscle to above it can provide a more natural appearance and reduce discomfort.
• Breast Lift Post-Augmentation: A breast lift can restore a youthful contour by raising the nipple and reshaping sagging breast tissue.
• Scar Revision: Revision techniques can improve enlarged or unsightly scars from previous surgeries, enhancing overall aesthetics.
• Conversion to Flap Reconstruction: For breast cancer survivors, converting implant-based reconstructions to flap reconstructions can provide more natural and lasting results.

Each procedure is carefully planned and executed to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients. Our surgeons will work closely with you to determine which procedure—or combination of procedures—is most suitable for achieving your aesthetic goals and enhancing your quality of life.
