What Can Breast Revision Surgery Resolve?

Corrects Implant Issues: Addresses breast implant problems, including implant rupture, capsular contraction, deflation, or displacement.
Improves Implant Position: Adjusts the position of implants that have shifted or become uneven over time.
Refines Breast Shape: Enhances or reshapes the breasts to achieve a more desirable or symmetrical appearance.
Resolves Capsular Contracture: Treats hardened scar tissue around the implant to resolve pain, discomfort, and hardened breasts.
Updates Implant Size: Changes the size of implants to match the patient’s current aesthetic goals better.
Repairs Implant-Related Issues: Fixes issues such as rippling, wrinkling, uneven breast location, or asymmetry caused by previous surgeries.

Sit Back, Relax and Recover

Recovery from breast revision surgery is similar to initial breast surgeries but can vary depending on the extent of the revision. Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days, much of this is typically controlled by prescription pain medicine. Most patients can return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with many resuming work after 2 weeks. Strenuous activities, including heavy lifting and intense exercise, should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. As you heal, you’ll begin to see the improved results of your breast revision, with final outcomes becoming more apparent as swelling decreases over the following weeks.
