It takes courage to seek change and we're here to provide all the information you need to feel secure and confident about your decision to pursue breast augmentation revision. Our commitment is to your health, satisfaction, and overall well-being at every step.

Who is a candidate?

Candidates for breast augmentation revision or breast re-augmentation typically include those who have experienced complications from a previous augmentation, such as capsular contracture, implant displacement, or rupture. In some cases, patients simply wish to change the size, type, or position of their implants for personal or aesthetic reasons.

What are the results?

The primary aim of revision surgery is to correct any issues from a previous breast augmentation and/or improve the overall aesthetic result. Whether it's alleviating discomfort, replacing an aged implant, or changing the look and feel of your breasts, the procedure aims to enhance your self-confidence and well-being.

What does the procedure involve?

During a breast augmentation revision, your surgeon will carefully remove and replace the existing implants. The specific surgical approach will depend on your desired outcome and the reason for revision. This could involve a simple swap of implants, adjustments to the implant pocket, or addressing scar tissue. Additional procedures like a breast lift may also be recommended based on your individual goals.

What is the recovery?

The recovery process from breast augmentation revision is generally similar to your initial augmentation procedure. Temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected but can be managed with medications. You will be advised to avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks to promote healing.

What other options are there?

If you're not completely satisfied with your augmentation but don't necessarily want another surgery, options such as fat grafting might be an alternative to consider. If, however, revision surgery isn't the best choice for you, removal of the implants could also be considered. We will discuss all feasible options during your consultation.

What are the risks?

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation revision carries risks including infection, changes in breast or nipple sensation, scarring, and risks related to anesthesia. Risks specific to this procedure include the potential for further revisions. We'll discuss all potential risks and complications with you during your consultation to ensure you're well-informed before deciding to proceed.
