Breast Revision

Breast implants typically change their size or shape over time, resulting in an unwanted appearance or feel to the breast.

What is
Breast Revision?

Breast implants typically change their size or shape over time, resulting in an unwanted appearance or feel to the breast. That’s not exactly what the original result used to be. Many breast implants also have an expiry, or their replacement surgery becomes quite costly down the road.

Whatever the reason, many women want to replace or update their breast implants after a few years. Some women need complete implant replacement, while others want to eliminate them completely. Often, this procedure aims to improve the size or shape of the existing implants to make the breasts look more attractive, lifted, and voluminous. At NexGen, we listen to your aesthetic goals at your breast revision consultation.

BENEFITS
  • Changes the breast size and shape as one desire
  • Improves back or neck pain, especially from capsular contracture
  • Corrects ruptured or displaced implants
  • Reduces the size of implants
  • Replaces the type or style of breast implants

Treatment Options

Breast Implant Replacement

Breast implants are artificial devices that sit underneath the breast tissues to add volume to them. They don’t last a lifetime and need replacement every 10 to 15 years. Implants are also prone to certain complications, such as capsular contracture, malposition, or rupture, causing extreme discomfort and pain. They can also make your breast asymmetrical or stretched.

For such women, the surgeon opts for a breast implant replacement procedure. They remove the old implants, correct the issue, and replace them with new ones. Depending on the patient’s condition, the doctor may perform other procedures, such as fat grafting or breast augmentation.

Breast Implant Removal

Some women just want to get rid of their implants once and for all. The reason could be anything, ranging from hormonal change, weight fluctuations, or disturbance in everyday activities. Mostly these women want a natural way to reshape their breasts through different breast lift procedures with fat grafting.

Breast Mound Repair

Some women just want to get rid of their implants once and for all. The reason could be anything, ranging from hormonal change, weight fluctuations, or disturbance in everyday activities. Mostly these women want a natural way to reshape their breasts through different breast lift procedures with fat grafting.

Breast Mound Repair

Breast revision surgery sometimes doesn’t remove or replace the breast implant. But instead, it addresses the underlying issues with the breast tissues, such as thinning of the tissue making the implants visible from the edges, or asymmetrical breast appearance.

To resolve these problems, the doctor reshapes or lifts the breast tissue or reduces or increases their size. They may add support structures like dermal or mesh matrices to enhance the implants’ positioning.

Who is a
Good Candidate?

Breast implant revision surgery is ideal for those who are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts after getting implants through breast augmentation or lift surgery. You’re a good candidate for this procedure if you are:

  • Unsatisfied with the shape, size, or overall appearance of your breasts
  • Worried about the condition of your implants
  • At a suitable weight with no underlying health issues

Procedure Process
and Recovery

1

Assessment

Before the process, the board-certified surgeon at NexGen evaluates every patient’s condition, listens to their aesthetic goals, and develops the right treatment plan. Afterward, you will be administered general anesthesia or any other medication for comfort during the procedure.
2

Incisions

The type of incision will depend on the breast revision surgery your doctor opts for you. It can be near the inframammary or the breast crease, a vertical incision for the breast lift, or a periareolar incision around the areola.
3

Sealing the Incision

The surgeon will correct your breast size or shape as per your wish. They may replace the implants, improve their position or appearance, or remove them altogether. After the procedure, they will seal the incision using skin adhesives, sutures, or tapes.
4

Post-Surgery Care

The post-surgery care after a breast revision usually varies depending on the procedure you went through. Your doctor will likely recommend you support a bra, compression band, or undergarment for a few weeks to minimize swelling. If drains are placed under your breast skin, the doctor will also guide you about how to take care of them. You will also be given oral or topical medications to prevent infection.
5

Recovery

The recovery period for breast revision surgery varies based on the procedure performed. Most women return to work or normal activity after 2 weeks of rest. Strenuous activities must be prevented for at least 6 weeks after the surgery. Your surgeon will restrict you from upper body activities, including shoulder and arm movements, until the swelling disappears.

FAQs

What is a breast revision?

Breast revision surgery includes replacing, removing, or updating the existing breast implants. The purpose is to enhance the appearance of the breasts by modifying the implants.

How soon should I get a breast revision?

Most people undergo breast revision surgery years after their first breast augmentation procedure. The ideal time is when you don’t like how your implants appear or if they become discomforting. Surgeons recommend waiting at least 6 months before going for a revision.

When do breast revision results appear?

The final results of breast revisions take at least 6 weeks to appear. That’s when the swelling will start resolving, and you can feel your breasts more voluminous and naturally beautiful. It can also take 6 to 12 months for the final breast revision results to appear.

Is breast revision painful?

Breast revision can be painful like any other plastic surgery. But at NexGen, we aim to perform the procedure with minimal discomfort and pain.
