What is Breast Revision Surgery?

Breast revision surgery is performed when a previous breast augmentation results in unsatisfactory appearance or medical issues such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, asymmetry, implant malposition, or dissatisfaction with size, shape, or feel. The procedure involves removing or replacing existing implants, correcting scar tissue, adjusting breast pockets, and reshaping the breasts to achieve a more natural look and improved comfort. Because prior surgery alters tissue structure, revision surgery requires advanced surgical skills, precise planning, and careful implant selection to ensure long-lasting results and improved patient satisfaction.

Ideal candidates are individuals who previously underwent breast augmentation and are experiencing complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, visible deformity, asymmetry, pain, or dissatisfaction with the previous surgical results. Patients who desire size change, improved proportions, natural feel, or correction of implant positioning may also benefit. This surgery is suitable for those mentally and physically prepared for corrective surgery and realistic about improvements and healing time.

Long-term to permanent; longevity varies depending on implant selection, lifestyle, and tissue healing response.
