What Is Breast Revision Surgery?

Breast revision surgery is a corrective procedure performed to address issues or dissatisfaction following a previous breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. Common reasons for seeking breast revision include complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or asymmetry, as well as changes in aesthetic preferences over time. This surgery may involve replacing or removing implants, correcting implant positioning, addressing scarring, or reshaping the breasts to achieve a more balanced and natural appearance. Breast revision surgery aims to correct any concerns and restore or enhance the desired look, ensuring patients feel confident and satisfied with their results.

Is Breast Revision Surgery Right for Me?

Breast revision surgery may be right for you if you’re dissatisfied with the results of previous breast surgery or experiencing complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or noticeable asymmetry. You may also consider revision surgery if your aesthetic preferences have changed or if you wish to update or remove aging implants. Ideal candidates have good overall health and realistic expectations about the outcome.

Are you considering breast revision surgery? If so, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Fulcrum Aesthetics so our expert team can assess your concerns and goals. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your current breast condition, discuss your desired results, and create a custom surgical plan to address your needs.

What to Expect: The Breast Revision Surgery Process

The breast revision surgery process at Fulcrum Aesthetics begins with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns, evaluate your previous surgery, and discuss your goals. On the day of surgery, the procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take two to four hours, depending on the complexity of the revision. Dr. Hill will make careful incisions, often along the original scar lines, to minimize additional scarring.

The surgery may involve:

  • Removing or replacing implants.
  • Adjusting their placement.
  • Performing a breast lift to improve breast shape and positioning.

If necessary, complications such as capsular contracture are addressed by removing the hardened scar tissue around the implant. Once the necessary revisions are made, the incisions are closed, and the area is dressed for recovery.

Breast Revision Surgery Recovery & Results

Recovery from breast revision surgery generally takes a few weeks, with most patients initially experiencing some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Pain is typically managed with prescribed medications, and patients can expect to return to light activities within one to two weeks. For proper healing, you’ll be advised to avoid strenuous activities, especially those involving the upper body, for about four to six weeks.

Initial results will be visible as the swelling subsides, but the outcome may take a few months to develop as the breasts settle into their new shape fully. Follow-up appointments will help ensure your recovery progresses smoothly and any concerns can be addressed promptly.
