Revision breast implant surgery is a group of potential procedures designed to correct or improve the result of a previous breast augmentation. This can involve changing the size of implants (increase or decrease), changing the implant shape, correcting implant-related complications, or adjusting the appearance of the breasts to better meet patient expectations.
Revision implant surgery can be considered in those patients suffering from conditions such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, implant malposition or those dissatisfied with their current size and/or shape. This surgery can use existing scars where possible but occasionally if more involved reshaping is necessary then new incisions and resulting scars may be indicated and necessary to achieve the best possible aesthetic results.
Existing implants can be removed or replaced with more modern, safer implants with the latest advanced implant technology and internal adjustments made to accommodate these if required.
Results can be long lasting and most patients can return to work and light activities after a couple of weeks.
