What is a Breast Revision?

Breast revision surgery corrects concerns or complications that have occurred after a previous breast augmentation. This may involve replacing implants, addressing implant rupture or deflation, reshaping breast tissue, correcting asymmetry, or resolving issues like capsular contracture or implant malposition. The ultimate goal is to refine your aesthetic outcome while restoring your comfort and confidence.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Revision?

You may be an ideal candidate for a personalized revision procedure if you've previously undergone breast augmentation and are now dealing with:

  • Implant displacement or rotation
  • Capsular contracture or excessive scarring
  • Changes due to pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or aging
  • Dissatisfaction with implant size, shape, or feel
  • Health concerns related to implants
