Breast Implant Revision Surgery

Each woman’s journey is unique. However, some of the most frequent reasons for choosing a revision breast implant procedure include:

• Capsular Contracture – When scar tissue hardens around the implant
• Implant Rupture or Deflation – Often due to aging saline or silicone implants
• Implant Malposition – When the implant shifts from its intended place
• Rippling or Wrinkling – Noticeable especially in thinner frames
• Desire for a Different Size, Shape, or Type of Implant
• Bottoming Out, Double Bubble, or Symmetry Issues
• Unsatisfactory Results from a Previous Surgery

The goal of revision surgery is to restore harmony between the woman’s vision and her body. Depending on the concern, several techniques may be used:

1. Implant Replacement

Old implants are removed and replaced with new ones. This is commonly done to address rupture, discomfort, or a desire for change in size or profile.

2. Capsulectomy or Capsulotomy

Used to remove or release scar tissue around the implant, especially in cases of capsular contracture.

3. Internal Bra Technique

A specialized support structure is created internally to correct sagging or displacement, often using absorbable mesh or sutures.

4. Breast Lift with Revision (Mastopexy)

In cases where sagging accompanies implant concerns, a Breast lift may be performed alongside the revision for optimal contour.

5. Implant Removal (Explantation)

Some women prefer to have implants removed entirely. This may be paired with a lift for a natural, feminine silhouette.
