Restore Breast Shape with Breast Revision Surgery
What Is Breast Implant Revision?
Breast revision surgery is surgery performed to correct or improve concerns that develop after previous breast augmentation. The procedure varies according to the reason for revision and the condition of the existing implants and surrounding breast tissue.
A consultation for Corrective breast surgery focuses on:
- Implant placement: Checking whether the implant has moved from its original position.
- Symmetry of breasts: Determining variations in the shape, size, and placement of the breasts.
- Skin and breast tissue: Assessing the condition of the surrounding tissues.
- Previous surgery: Reviewing the previous breast augmentation and surgical changes.
- Current concerns: Identifying the specific issue that requires correction.
Some women need a straightforward implant exchange, while others require correction of the breast pocket, scar tissue, or surrounding breast tissue.
Benefits of Breast Revision Surgery
Breast Implant Revision helps address issues that arise after breast augmentation and correct concerns related to the implant, breast, and surrounding tissues. The benefits depend on the specific concern being treated.
Some benefits include:
Proper positioning of implants: Corrects implants that have changed position.
Improvement in breast symmetry: Addresses differences between breast sizes, shapes, or implant positions.
Fixing implant-related problems: Addresses concerns such as capsular contracture, rippling, or implant damage.
Changing implant size: Allows the implant size to be changed when appropriate.
Improvement in breast shape: Addresses changes in breast shape after previous augmentation, pregnancy, or weight changes.
Improving the breast pocket: Adjusts and reshapes the breast pocket when changes have affected implant placement.
The benefits depend on the exact reason for revision and the type of corrective surgery required.
Reasons Women Consider Breast Implant Revision
Breast revision surgery do not always remain in the same position or maintain the same appearance over time. Aging, pregnancy, weight gain or loss, breast tissue changes, and issues from previous surgery can affect the appearance of the breasts and implants.
Some Common Reasons Include:
- Breast implant displacement
- Breast asymmetry after augmentation
- Changes in breast shape or size
- Implant rupture or damage
- Capsular contracture
- Visible or palpable implant edges
- Rippling or wrinkling
- Changes in breast tissue due to pregnancy or weight loss
- Breast discomfort associated with implants
- Desire for a different implant size
- Dissatisfaction with the results of previous augmentation
The reason for pursuing breast implant revision surgery influences the type of surgery required. Dr. Sohrab evaluates the cause of the concern and discusses the available surgical options before the procedure.

Breast Implant Revision After Previous Augmentation
Unlike breast augmentation, Breast Revision Surgery is carried out differently because the breasts have already undergone surgery. Scar tissue, changes in the implant pocket, breast tissue, and skin texture can affect the revision process.
For some women, breast augmentation revision involves replacing the implants with a new size or type. In other cases, breast implant replacement may help address changes in implant position or breast tissue.
When the existing implants are no longer suitable, breast implant replacement may form part of the revision. However, the procedure may also involve correction of the surrounding tissues and breast pocket.
What Does Breast Implant Replacement Involve?
Breast implant replacement involves removing an existing implant and placing a new one. This may be considered when the current implant requires exchange or when changing the implant may address concerns related to previous augmentation.
The procedure does not always involve a simple implant exchange. The implant pocket, scar tissue, surrounding breast tissue, and skin also require assessment to determine whether additional correction should form part of the revision.
The choice of implant size and shape depends on:
- Breast anatomy: Existing breast structure influences the available options.
- Existing breast tissue: Tissue volume and condition affect implant selection.
- Skin envelope: Skin type and elasticity influence the surgical plan.
- Prior surgeries: Previous procedures can affect the breast implant pocket and surrounding tissues.
- Desired result: Desired breast size and shape are considered when selecting implants.
Risks and Possible Complications of Breast Revision Surgery
- Infection: There may be chances of getting an infection due to these germs in the incised area and the implants may need further treatment with medicines and even surgical methods.
- Uncontrollable bleeding or fluid accumulation: Another complication that may arise due to breast surgery is uncontrollable bleeding or fluid accumulation around the implants.
- Capsular Contracture: It means there would be formation of scar tissue at the site of the implants leading to stiffness of the breasts and pain.
- Implant rupture or dislocation: Implant rupture or dislocation may occur due to breast surgery.
- Nipples and breast sensation changes: Another complication of breast surgery includes nipples and breasts sensation changes.
- Breast and nipple malformation or scarring: There may be possibilities of breast and nipple malformation or scarring at the incised areas.
- Unresolved pain and asymmetry: The patients who have undergone breast surgery suffer from unresolved pain and asymmetry even after surgery.
- Multiple surgeries: One surgery may cause new problems instead of solving previous problems.
- Surgical risks: General anesthesia risk depends upon the overall health status of the person and surgery.
For additional information, refer to the FDA’s guidance on breast implant risks and complications.
Breast Revision Surgery Recovery
Recovery varies according to the complexity of the procedure. A straightforward implant exchange can involve a different recovery process from revision surgery that includes extensive breast pocket correction or additional procedures.
After Breast Implant Replacement, recovery instructions may cover:
- Wound care
- Medication
- Physical activity
- Sleeping position
- Follow-up appointments
- Returning to normal activities
Swelling, discoloration, stiffness, and pain can occur during the early stages of healing. These symptoms generally ease as the body recovers.

Procedure of Breast Implant Revision
The exact technique depends on the reason for revision and the condition of the breasts. Dr. Sohrab plans the procedure after a detailed assessment rather than applying the same technique to every case.
This process begins with an analysis of the previous breast augmentation and the issues that have arisen since the operation. It includes a physical examination of the breasts, implants, tissues, skin condition, positioning of implants, and surgical history.
The surgical plan depends on the concern identified during the assessment. Treatment options include implant replacement, implant removal, repositioning, breast pocket correction, or additional breast surgery.
