Breast Implant Revision

What Is Breast Implant Revision?

Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure designed to correct and improve the results of previous breast augmentation. Whether you’re dealing with complications, aesthetic concerns, or desire a change, revision surgery aims to address these issues and provide a more satisfying outcome. This procedure can involve various techniques depending on your unique needs and goals.

Options for breast implant revision include the following:

Implant Exchange: Replace old implants with new ones, either due to a change in size or type or correcting issues with the initial implants.
Capsulectomy: If the capsule has hardened (capsular contracture), removing the scar tissue (capsule) that forms around the implant is often necessary.
Implant Repositioning: Adjusting the position of the implants to achieve a more balanced and natural appearance.
Correction of Asymmetry: Address differences in size, shape, or position between the breasts.
Treatment of Rippling: Correcting visible rippling or wrinkling of the implants.
Correction of Implant Malposition: Fix issues such as bottoming out, double bubble, or lateral displacement.
Removal of Implants: We offer safe removal procedures for those who no longer wish to have implants.

Is Breast Implant Revision Right for Me?

If you are unhappy with the results of your previous breast augmentation or are experiencing complications, revision breast augmentation can likely benefit you. Ideal candidates are those who desire improvement in the appearance or feel of their breasts or are experiencing complications such as capsular contracture, implant malposition, or rippling. The best candidates for breast implant revisions are also in good health with realistic expectations about the potential results.

Potential results, concerns, and goals can be discussed during your consultation, which is essential to determine if breast implant revision is the best option for you. If you’re considering breast implant revision in the Vero Beach & Pompano Beach area, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery today. During your consultation, we will assess the condition of your breasts and previous augmentation and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect: The Breast Implant Revision Process

Once your consultation is complete, we will develop a personalized treatment plan and schedule your procedure. On the day of the surgery, you will be administered anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Depending on the complexity of the revision, the procedure can take several hours. The exact details of your procedure depend on which approach we take for treatment. You can expect one of the following experiences:

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting can sometimes enhance the breast shape or correct minor asymmetries. Fat is harvested from another part of your body, purified, and injected into the breast area.

Implant Removal

For those who wish to remove their implants entirely, the procedure will involve the removal of the implants and, if necessary, a breast lift to ensure a pleasing aesthetic result.

Implant Exchange

This approach involves removing and replacing the current implants with new ones. The incisions are typically made along the same lines as your original surgery to minimize additional scarring. The procedure usually takes about 1-2 hours.

Capsulectomy

Capsulectomy removes the scar tissue capsule that forms around the implant. It’s often necessary for patients experiencing capsular contracture. Dr. Durkin will remove the hardened capsule before inserting a new implant, which can take 2-3 hours.

Implant Repositioning

If the implants have shifted from their original position, they can be repositioned to achieve a more symmetrical and natural look. Repositioning may involve adjusting the implant pocket or using internal sutures to secure the implant.

Scar Tissue Removal

For patients with significant scar tissue, removing or reducing the scar tissue can improve the appearance and feel of the breasts. This process involves carefully excising the scar tissue and reshaping the breast as needed.

Each procedure is performed precisely and carefully, ensuring the best possible outcome. Once the corrections are made, the incisions will be carefully closed, and you will be monitored during the initial recovery period.

Breast Implant Revision Recovery and Results

Following revision breast augmentation, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal and will subside over time. Most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume more strenuous activities after several weeks. Our team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Your revision breast augmentation results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides, with final results typically visible within a few months. The outcome is improved breast appearance and feel, correcting any issues from the previous surgery and enhancing your overall satisfaction.
