Revision Breast Augmentation

Revision breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation. This procedure may be performed for various reasons, including issues with implant placement, size, shape, or complications like capsular contracture or implant rupture. During revision breast augmentation, the existing implants may be replaced, repositioned, or removed entirely, and any necessary adjustments to the breast tissue or pocket are made to achieve a more natural, balanced appearance. The procedure is highly personalized, as it addresses the specific concerns of the patient to improve both the aesthetics and functionality of the breasts. Recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the revision, but most patients experience an improvement in both appearance and comfort after the procedure.

Key Benefits of Revision Breast Augmentation

Revision breast augmentation corrects concerns from previous implants while enhancing breast shape, symmetry, comfort, and overall aesthetic harmony. This procedure addresses issues like implant shifting, asymmetry, capsular contracture, or size dissatisfaction to give you results that feel natural, balanced, and confidently aligned with your goals.

Recovery After Revision Breast

Augmentation

Recovery after revision breast augmentation focuses on healing comfortably while allowing the implants and tissues to settle into their refined shape. Since revision surgery is more detailed than a first-time augmentation, healing can feel a bit slower, but results improve steadily with proper care. Most patients notice better comfort, symmetry, and confidence as swelling fades and final shape develops.
