What Breast Implant Revision Surgery Means
Breast Implant Revision is a procedure that adjusts, replaces, or removes breast implants to improve comfort, appearance, or both. Some revisions focus on implant position and symmetry, while others address changes in size, shape, or implant type. The approach depends on factors like skin quality, breast tissue, implant placement, and the outcome you want to see.
Common Reasons People Seek Revision
Patients consider revision for many reasons, including cosmetic preferences and physical symptoms. Common concerns include:
- A desire to change implant size, shape, or profile
- Capsular contracture, when scar tissue tightens, and the breast feels firm or painful
- Implant rupture or deflation
- Implants that sit too high, too low, or shift to the side
- Visible rippling or a more noticeable implant edge
- Changes after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or natural aging
- Interest in implant removal with or without a breast lift
What The Surgery May Involve
Revision can be simple or more complex, depending on what needs to be corrected. Treatment may include implant replacement, removal, or structural adjustments to improve support and contour. Options can include implant exchange, capsule work, and pocket adjustment, with add-ons chosen based on goals and anatomy.
- Implant exchange to a new size or type, such as switching from saline to silicone
- Implant removal, sometimes paired with a lift for shape
- Capsule work, such as capsulectomy or capsulotomy
- Pocket adjustment to improve symmetry and stability
- Fat grafting in select cases to refine contour and soften edges
