Breast Implant Revision
What is it
Breast implant revision surgery is a personalized surgical procedure performed to correct or enhance the results of a previous breast augmentation. This may involve removing and replacing malpositioned, ruptured, or undesired implants, updating implant size or type, treating complications such as capsular contracture, or improving shape and symmetry.
Revision surgery is occasionally desired because physical changes in the body occur over time, and many patients choose to refine their results as their goals evolve.
Benefits
- Improved satisfaction with breast size
- Enhancement of asymmetry or mispositioning
- Correction of capsular contracture or rupture
- Adjustment of implant rippling
- Improvement of any other breast implant-related concerns
Best for
- Individuals who have experienced implant complications
- Women who notice changes in breast appearance over time
- Those who want to update old implants for newer styles of materials
- Patients who desire improved comfort or confidence with their results
What to Expect
Your first step toward improving the look and feel of your breasts is to schedule a consultation appointment. During this visit, you can discuss your breast implant concerns, medical history, and ultimate aesthetic goals. A personalized treatment plan will then be created to make your procedure goals a reality.
Prior to your procedure, you may be asked to alter or stop certain medications, as well as stop smoking. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with instructions on how to prepare for your breast implant revision procedure.
Breast implant revision surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety. The exact steps of your procedure will vary depending on your individual needs and goals. Once the original implant or implants have been removed, the pocket and capsule will be addressed based on your goals. New implants or fat transferred from another body part will be inserted to achieve the desired breast shape, feel, and appearance. Our surgeons pride themselves on using only the most updated and proven surgical techniques and technologies to provide you with natural-looking results.
Following breast implant revision, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort may be experienced for a few days. Individuals who receive a replacement implant will be instructed to wear a special compression bra to reduce swelling and support their new breast contour. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions regarding aftercare, including when you can return to exercise, to ensure proper healing. Most patients can expect to rest and take it easy for one week following this procedure.
Why Patients Choose Implant Revision
No matter why you want or need a breast implant revision procedure, our surgeons will create a personalized and appropriate treatment plan to meet your goals. While these procedures can be complex, our surgeons keep you closely involved throughout each step so you can have peace of mind.
Women who choose to undergo breast implant revision may do so due to the following reasons:
Are You Dealing with Capsular Contracture?
Capsular contracture remains one of the most common reasons patients seek breast implant revision, which is why our team is actively contributing to advancing how it’s understood and treated. At Defyne, our surgeons have been involved in research exploring the underlying causes and prevention of capsular contracture, helping move the conversation beyond outdated assumptions.

- K.M.
Will I Need to Combine my Revision with a Breast Lift?
It is possible for some women to have their implants removed or replaced without breast sagging. Most women, however, experience moderate to severe breast laxity that will need to be corrected with a breast lift procedure. Your surgeon can discuss your surgical options with you during a consultation.
Is Breast Revision Painful?
At Defyne, breast implant revision is performed under general anesthesia in order to increase your safety and comfort throughout the surgery. Many patients experience mild pain, swelling, and bruising in the first few days of recovery. However, your surgeon will provide appropriate pain medication to alleviate this discomfort.
Will There Be Scars?
Any surgical procedure that involves the creation of incisions can result in scarring. However, when possible, our surgeons use the incision lines of the original breast augmentation procedure to minimize scarring. If a new incision is needed, the surgeon will make sure that it is as minimal as possible and hidden in areas where it is hardly visible.
What is The Difference Between Silicone and Saline Implants?
Before undergoing breast implant revision, patients will have the choice of silicone or saline implants. While both types of implants can result in natural-looking enhancement, they do have some differences. Saline implants are available to women over the age of 18 and are filled with a sterile saltwater solution. Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel solution and are available to women over the age of 22. Women who receive silicone implants are encouraged to undergo periodic MRI or ultrasound guidelines to make sure that the implant is not ruptured.
