Breast Implant Revision Surgery is a critical procedure for individuals who seek to address concerns or complications following an initial breast augmentation. Whether due to aesthetic dissatisfaction, implant malposition, or issues such as capsular contracture, this surgery offers a pathway to restore confidence and comfort.
At Southeastern Plastic Surgery, we understand the sensitive nature of this journey and are committed to providing expert care tailored to your unique needs. Our surgeons have over 60 years combined experience and deliver individualized care that makes you feel like family.
What is Breast Implant Revision Surgery?
Breast implant revision surgery is performed for a variety of reasons, including:
- Addressing complications like capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant)
- Correcting implant malposition or asymmetry
- Replacing implants due to rupture or leakage
- Changing implant size, type, or shape
- Addressing aesthetic concerns or dissatisfaction with previous results
Each patient’s needs and goals are unique, making personalized consultation essential to achieve optimal outcomes.
Candidates for Breast Implant Revision Surgery
Breast implant revision surgery is designed for individuals who are experiencing issues with their current implants or are simply seeking a change in appearance. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are no longer satisfied with the results of a previous breast augmentation.
A thorough consultation with our surgeons who have over 60 years combined experience can help determine the best course of action to address your concerns and create results that better align with your current goals.
The Procedure and Recovery
During the procedure, your surgeon may remove and replace the implants, adjust the implant pocket for better positioning, and address any scar tissue or complications such as capsular contracture. In some cases, a breast lift may also be performed to enhance the overall shape and symmetry of the breasts. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about one to three hours, depending on the complexity.
Recovery after breast implant revision is similar to that of your initial augmentation. Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first few days, which can be managed with medication and supportive garments. Light activities can usually be resumed within a week, but you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for several weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
