Breast Revision Basics

Breast revision surgery is designed to address and correct complications, concerns, or changes in appearance that may occur after an initial breast augmentation procedure. This can involve replacing or adjusting breast implants, reshaping breast tissue, or handling issues such as implant rupture, deflation, malposition, or dissatisfaction with implant size or shape. The primary aim is to enhance aesthetics and resolve any existing concerns.

  • Dissatisfaction with the original breast implant surgery
  • Changes in breast shape due to weight fluctuations or pregnancy

Explore Your Options

Breast revision encompasses a variety of procedures tailored to improve the results of previous breast augmentation surgeries. These techniques may involve changes to implant type or size, managing the capsule, adjusting the implant pocket, and enhancing soft tissue. Key breast revision techniques include:

  • Elective Implant Exchange from Saline to Silicone: Switching from saline to silicone implants for a more natural feel and appearance.
  • Switching from Smooth to Textured or Round to Anatomical Implants: Modifying the implant surface or shape to achieve specific aesthetic outcomes.
  • Scar Capsule Removal and Release: Addressing capsule contracture or scarring around the implant.
  • Soft Tissue Reinforcement with Support Materials: Using support materials to provide additional stability to the breast tissue.
  • Explantation and Complete Capsulectomies with Non-Implant Reconstruction: Removing implants and surrounding scar tissue, often followed by breast reconstruction without implants.
  • Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy): Elevating and reshaping the breasts for a more youthful and firm appearance.
    Internal Pocket Tightening: Adjusting the implant pocket to improve positioning and symmetry.
  • Changing Implant Placement from Over to Under the Chest Muscles: Altering implant placement for different aesthetic results.
  • Breast Tissue Removal: Reducing tissue volume to achieve the desired size or shape.
    Fat Grafting to Correct Implant Visibility: Using fat transfer to address implant visibility or rippling, ensuring a smoother and more natural look.

Let Athēnix Los Angeles Support Your Breast Revision Journey

In the past, breast implants required replacement after ten or more years. Today’s advanced technology allows implants to potentially last a lifetime, but it’s essential to consult with a physician about implant safety and how they interact with your body. You shouldn’t have to accept an undesired figure. Athēnix’s experienced physicians will work closely with you to achieve your ideal breast shape and size. Call Athēnix today at 888-276-1535 to schedule your consultation in Los Angeles.
