What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Revision breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to correct, remove, or replace breast implants from a prior augmentation. Patients may seek revision for various reasons, including dissatisfaction with the cosmetic result, a desire to change implant size or type, or to address medical complications such as implant rupture or capsular contracture. The goal is to improve the breast’s appearance, symmetry, and overall profile.

Your Revision Augmentation Journey
Addressing Implant-Related Issues
A primary reason for revision surgery is to address complications from a previous procedure. This can include correcting capsular contracture, which is the hardening of scar tissue around the implant, or addressing implant deflation or rupture. Our surgical approach is tailored to resolve these issues and restore a more natural look and feel.
Refining Your Aesthetic Outcome
Many patients seek revision surgery to refine their aesthetic results. This may involve correcting asymmetry, improving implant position, or changing the implant size or shape to better match your current goals and body proportions. We work closely with you to understand your desired outcome and develop a plan to achieve it.
Implant Exchange Options
Your preferences can change over time, and an implant exchange is a common component of revision surgery. This procedure allows you to switch implant materials or select a new size that feels more appropriate for you. We will guide you through the available options to find the perfect fit.
Combining with a Breast Lift
For patients experiencing breast sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or the weight of previous implants, a Breast Lift may be combined with your revision surgery. This addresses excess skin and repositions the breast tissue and nipple for a more youthful and elevated profile.
Your Personalized Consultation
- Detailed Surgical History Review
Your consultation begins with a thorough review of your previous breast surgery and overall medical history. Understanding the details of your initial procedure is crucial for planning a successful revision. We encourage you to bring any relevant information about your current implants and prior surgery.
- Defining Your New Goals
We will have an in-depth discussion about what you hope to achieve with revision surgery. Using advanced imaging technology, we can help you visualize potential outcomes and align on a shared goal. This ensures your expectations are realistic and our surgical plan is designed to meet them.
- Creating a Custom Surgical Plan
Based on your physical examination, surgical history, and aesthetic goals, a customized surgical plan is created. Your surgeon will explain the specific techniques recommended, whether it involves an implant exchange, capsulectomy, pocket adjustment, or a breast lift. You will receive a clear, detailed outline of the proposed procedure.
The Revision Augmentation Procedure
Anesthesia and Incisions
Your procedure will be performed under anesthesia for your comfort and safety. To minimize new scarring, your surgeon will often use the original incision lines from your first augmentation whenever possible. The specific incision pattern will depend on the complexity of the revision.
Implant Removal and Pocket Work
The existing breast implants are carefully removed. If capsular contracture is present, the hardened scar tissue capsule may be removed in a procedure known as a capsulectomy. The internal pocket that holds the implant is then assessed and may be adjusted to ensure proper positioning of the new implant.
Placing the New Implants
Once the breast pocket is prepared, the new implants are placed. Your surgeon uses meticulous techniques to ensure optimal placement, symmetry, and a natural-looking contour. If a breast lift is part of the plan, excess skin is removed and tissues are reshaped at this stage.
Incision Closure
After the new implants are securely in place and the desired breast shape is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures. Our surgeons prioritize careful closure techniques to promote healing and create the most discreet scars possible. A surgical dressing and support garment will be applied.

Recovery and Aftercare
Immediate Post-Procedure Care
Following your surgery, you will rest in a recovery area under observation. Our team utilizes advanced pain management techniques to enhance your comfort. You will be able to return home the same day with a friend or family member.
Your First Week at Home
The first few days are focused on rest and allowing your body to heal. You will wear a specialized support bra to minimize swelling and support the new breast shape. Most patients can manage discomfort with prescribed medication and can resume light daily activities within a few days.
Returning to Normal Activities
While experiences vary, many patients can return to desk jobs and non-strenuous activities within one to two weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks, as advised by your surgeon. Follow-up appointments will monitor your progress.
Long-Term Results and Care
Final results will become more apparent over several months as swelling completely subsides and the implants settle into their final position. Adhering to long-term follow-up care is important for monitoring your results and ensuring lasting satisfaction. Our team remains available to support you throughout your entire journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is revision breast surgery often more complex than a first-time augmentation?
Revision surgery is more complex due to the presence of scar tissue and altered anatomy from the initial procedure. The surgeon must work within these modified tissues, which requires specialized expertise to achieve an optimal outcome.
Can I change my implant size and type during a revision?
Yes, changing implant size and type is one of the most common reasons patients seek revision surgery. During your consultation, you can discuss your goals and explore different implant options to find a better fit for your body and lifestyle.
Will you be able to use my original incisions for the revision surgery?
In many cases, the original incisions can be used for the revision procedure, which helps to avoid creating new scars. However, the ideal incision placement depends on the specifics of your surgical plan and will be determined during your consultation.
What is a capsulectomy and will I need one?
A capsulectomy is the surgical removal of the capsule of scar tissue that forms around a breast implant. It is typically performed when the capsule has hardened (capsular contracture), causing pain or aesthetic distortion. Your surgeon will determine if this is a necessary part of your procedure.
How long will my recovery from revision breast augmentation take?
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the surgery. Revision procedures can sometimes require a slightly longer healing period than a primary augmentation. A detailed timeline will be provided based on your personal surgical plan.
