Breast implants are not meant to last forever, and over time, changes in the body or implant condition may lead women to consider breast implant revision. Whether due to cosmetic goals, aging implants, or physical discomfort, revision surgery can restore both comfort and confidence.
At DVA Plastic Surgery in Bellaire and River Oaks, breast implant revision is performed by Dr. Dare V. Ajibade, a fellowship-trained aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon. With advanced training from Temple University Hospital and North Texas Plastic Surgery, he brings expertise in complex breast procedures and a personalized, detail-focused approach. Every revision is carefully planned to align with your current goals while addressing any complications from prior surgeries.
What Is Breast Implant Revision?
Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure that addresses issues related to previous breast augmentation. This may include replacing old implants, correcting complications, or altering the size, shape, or type of implants to achieve a refreshed, natural appearance. Some women seek revision to improve the results of a previous surgery, while others seek to adapt to changes in their bodies or aesthetic preferences.
Each breast implant revision is unique, with complexity influenced by prior surgeries and aesthetic goals. At DVA Plastic Surgery, we take the time to design a surgical approach that’s right for you.
Reasons Women Consider Breast Implant Revision
There are several reasons why someone might pursue breast implant revision surgery. Some of the most common include:
- Implant Rupture or Leakage: Over time, saline or silicone implants may break or deflate, requiring replacement or removal.
- Capsular Contracture: This condition occurs when scar tissue forms tightly around the implant, causing pain or a distorted appearance.
- Aesthetic Concerns: Some patients wish to change the size, shape, or type of implant based on personal preferences or lifestyle changes.
- Aging Implants: Most implants have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. As they age, revision becomes a proactive choice for safety and appearance.
- Changes in the Body: Weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging may affect the appearance of breast implants, making revision an ideal solution.
Each of these concerns can be addressed through a revision tailored to your goals and current condition.
The Breast Implant Revision Procedure
The surgical approach for breast implant revision depends on the specific issue being addressed. Some procedures involve removing the existing implant and replacing it with a new one. In other cases, the implants are removed entirely without replacement. Often, a breast lift is performed alongside the revision to correct sagging and enhance overall shape.
At DVA Plastic Surgery, we use the latest techniques and materials to ensure optimal results. Our goal is to improve symmetry, restore a natural contour, and help you feel confident in your appearance. Most patients find that recovery is quicker than their initial augmentation, with light activities typically resumed in a few weeks.
