What are some common reasons for pursuing breast revision surgery?

One of the most common reasons for a breast revision is a shift in personal taste. According to the FDA, 37% of revisions are for size change alone. Another common reason to undergo breast revision surgery is due to implant complications. For example, implants should be revised if they rupture, develop capsular contracture, or migrate in position and distort the breast shape.

What solutions does PERK offer for those unhappy with their primary breast augmentation?

Revision breast surgery is highly individual and the techniques used to restore the breast shape depend on your specific concerns. Common revision procedures include:

Breast implant removal

During this procedure, the implants placed during your primary augmentation are removed, along with any breast capsule. Scar tissue may be removed as well to prevent future discomfort. After removal of the breast implants, women may elect to replace the volume with fat, replace the volume with another implant, or do nothing. Implant removal can often leave the breasts droopy, so it is also common for women to choose a breast lift following the procedure in order to restore the position of the breasts, rather than volume.

Breast implant revision

During breast implant revision surgery, the original implants are replaced with new ones. Depending on the quality of the surrounding tissue, the new implants may be the same size, smaller or larger. The texture and material of the implants may also be changed during implant revision. This procedure is often performed to remedy capsular contracture, or scar tissue that hardens around the breast implant, which may cause discomfort or distort the implant shape.

Breast animation deformity correction

An animation deformity is a common phenomenon that occurs when the implant is placed underneath the pectoralis muscle. With movement or exercise, the pectoralis muscle moves the breast implants as well. Dr. Lee can correct this condition through a variety of surgical techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions About Previously Augmented Breasts

Can breast implants change position over the years?

Yes. Implants may shift due to aging, tissue changes, gravity, or implant pocket stretching.

What is capsular contracture?

Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around an implant tightens and hardens, sometimes affecting comfort or breast shape.

Will breast revision surgery improve breast symmetry?

Revision techniques may help improve asymmetry involving implant position, shape, or breast contour.

How long do breast implants typically last before revision?

Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and many patients eventually require maintenance or revision surgery.

Can scar tissue be removed during revision surgery?

Yes. Scar tissue surrounding the implant may be removed or revised depending on the patient's concerns.

Will recovery after revision surgery be similar to my first augmentation?

Recovery varies based on the procedure performed, though some patients find revision recovery easier than their initial surgery.

Can breast revision surgery create more natural-looking results?

Yes. Revision surgery is often performed to refine breast shape, implant positioning, and overall appearance.
