Breast Revision Surgery

What is breast revision surgery is?

Breast revision surgery is a corrective surgical procedure to substitute old breast implants with new and improved ones. The procedure aims to restore or enhance the appearance of the breasts by changing the implant material, but may also be done with the following complementary procedures:

  • A breast reduction or breast lift
  • Re-contouring the breast implant pocket to fit the implant properly on the chest
  • Altering the size, style and shape of the breast implants

When is it your choice to opt for breast revision surgery?

You may decide to undergo breast revision surgery when you want to change or enhance the size of your breasts or due to the following reasons:

  • Capsular contracture pain
  • Growing concern over breast implant migration or rupture
  • Desire to change the style of the implant. For example, you may switch from saline implants to silicone ones.

When considering breast implants, it's important to understand that they can alter shape and size, which is likely to impact the overlying breast tissue. As a result, the overall appearance of the breast may change significantly as well. This often results in an unsatisfactory outcome and displeasure with the appearance of the breasts. However, with the option of breast revision surgery, you have the power to make informed decisions that can improve the cosmetic result and update and modify the breasts according to your preferences.
