What Is Breast Augmentation Revision?
Breast augmentation revision is a secondary surgery that adjusts or enhances the results of a previous breast augmentation. This procedure can involve replacing implants, removing them, or correcting any issues that have developed over time. There are numerous reasons women choose revision surgery.
- Changing Aesthetic Tastes: Your preferences may have changed since your original surgery, and you might wish for a different size, shape, or look.
- Size Change: You may want to increase or decrease your breast size to better suit your current body image and lifestyle.
- Capsular Contracture or Rupture: Over time, scar tissue can form around the implant, causing discomfort or a change in appearance, or the implant itself may rupture and require replacement.
- Breast Implant Illness (BII): Some women experience symptoms they believe are related to their breast implants, prompting them to seek removal.
- Textured Implant Concerns: Concerns about textured implants and their potential association with BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma) may lead some patients to opt for a revision.
No matter the reason, our team is dedicated to understanding your needs and providing a personalized plan to achieve your revision goals.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation Revision

- Improved comfort and resolution of any complications
- Adjusted size and shape to better match your current aesthetic preferences

How Is Breast Augmentation Revision Performed?
Our plastic surgeons typically perform breast augmentation revision surgery while you are under general anesthesia. The procedure will vary based on your specific needs:
- Implant Replacement or Removal: Your surgeon may remove or replace the implants, often through the original incision, to minimize additional scarring.
- Capsulectomy or Capsulotomy: If capsular contracture has occurred, your surgeon will remove or release the scar tissue around the implant.
- Implant Pocket Adjustment: Your surgeon may modify the pocket where the implant sits to achieve a more symmetrical or desired look.
Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure a safe procedure with optimal results.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From Revision Breast Augmentation?
Recovery from a breast augmentation revision may vary depending on the complexity of your procedure. Here are some general guidelines:
- First Few Days: You will feel sore, and your breasts may feel swollen, tender, and tight. Light daily activities like showering and walking are typically fine.
- Within 5 to 10 Days: Swelling and bruising go down significantly during this time. Most women can return to work or regular daily routines that are not physically demanding.
- 2 to 3 Weeks: Most, if not all, residual swelling and bruising should have resolved. Continue to avoid high-impact activities or heavy lifting.
- After 6 Weeks: You should be cleared to resume all activities, including exercise, as your surgeon advises.
Your surgeon will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
