Why Consider Breast Implant Revision?

Breast Implant Revision

Individuals may seek breast implant revision surgery for a variety of personal reasons. For example, you may desire breast implant revision if:

  • Your implants have changed position or shape over time
  • You’re experiencing discomfort from issues like capsular contracture
  • Your implants have ruptured or deflated
  • You’re unhappy with the size or appearance of your current implants
  • You’d wish to switch to a different type of implant
A decision to undergo breast implant revision surgery can be both empowering and daunting. Surgeons at The Plastic Surgery Center understand this, and we’re committed to helping you achieve peace of mind with every step of your journey toward renewed confidence.

Questions about treatments and procedures?

What to Expect

Before undergoing breast implant revision surgery, patients can expect a thorough and personalized process to ensure the best possible outcome. It begins with a consultation with one of our experienced surgeons, during which your medical history will be reviewed, and your goals and concerns will be discussed in detail. 

Based on your unique needs, the surgeon will then develop a comprehensive surgical plan tailored to you. They will also provide clear pre-surgery guidelines, including instructions on medications to take or avoid, as well as what to expect during recovery.

The surgery generally takes 1 to 3 hours under general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and the patient’s goals. During the procedure, the surgeon may remove, replace, or reposition the implants, as well as address issues like capsular contracture, asymmetry, or ruptured implants. In some cases, complementary procedures such as a breast lift (mastopexy) may be performed to enhance the overall result.

Recovery &
Results

Recovery after breast implant revision surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, but most patients can expect to return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common in the first few days, but these symptoms gradually subside with proper care and following your surgeon’s instructions. A supportive surgical bra or compression garment may be recommended to aid healing. 

Full recovery, including a return to more strenuous activities, typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, although every patient’s timeline is unique. Results of a breast implant revision surgery are often noticeable immediately, with appearance improving further as swelling continues to diminish.
