Breast Revision Surgery at H/K/B Plastic Surgery
Breast revision surgery is a specialized procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation, reduction, or reconstruction. A revision lets you achieve your desired look and comfort, whether your aesthetic preferences have changed or you’ve experienced complications from the initial surgery.
At H/K/B Plastic Surgery, our skilled, board-certified plastic surgeons provide personalized care and expertise to ensure optimal outcomes for each patient seeking breast revision surgery.
What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Over time, the natural aging process, issues with implants, or dissatisfaction with the initial results may prompt the need for revision. The goal is to improve your breasts’ appearance and function and restore your confidence.
Reasons for seeking breast revision surgery include the following.
- Implant complications: Issues such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or implant displacement can arise after the initial augmentation. Revision surgery can correct these complications and restore a more natural breast appearance.
- Aesthetic changes: Over time, you may experience changes in their breast shape, size, or symmetry due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, aging, or lifestyle changes. You might also choose to change your implant size or type to better reflect your aesthetic ideals.
- Scarring or poor healing: In cases where scarring from the initial surgery is prominent or healing was suboptimal, revision surgery can minimize visible scars and improve the overall aesthetic.
- Asymmetry: If your previous surgery left your breasts with an irregular size or shape, revision can correct this asymmetry for a more balanced and natural look.
Candidates for Breast Revision Surgery
Ideal candidates are non-smokers who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Patients seek revision after experiencing one or more issues like these.
- Dissatisfaction with initial results: Some women are unhappy with their breasts’ size or shape after surgery.
- Health concerns: Breast implants are not lifelong devices. If medical imaging indicates a leak or rupture in a silicone implant, you must have it removed for health reasons.
- Shifting aesthetic preferences: Over time, your aesthetic opinions regarding breast size or shape will evolve. Some women choose to replace their implants with a different size or material, or return to their natural breasts.
- Aging and natural changes: Aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations can alter your breasts’ appearance, even after surgery. Revision restores a more youthful and contoured look.
Types of Breast Revision Surgery
H/K/B Plastic Surgery’s qualified surgeons tailor breast revision techniques to each patient’s unique needs.
Implant Replacement or Removal: One of the most common reasons for breast revision is implant exchange or removal. If you have your implants removed and do not wish to replace them, you may also want to get a breast lift to address sagging and excess skin.
Correction of Capsular Contracture: Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue surrounding the implant hardens, causing discomfort and altering your breast shape. A surgeon can remove the hardened tissue and replace the implant, restoring a more natural look and feel.
Asymmetry: Revision can address lopsidedness by adjusting the implants’ size or position on one or both sides to create balance.
Implant Malposition: Implants may shift or become displaced over time, causing an unnatural or imbalanced appearance. Revision surgery will create a more natural and symmetrical look.
Scar Revision: Are you dissatisfied with the scarring from your original surgery? A breast revision can minimize or revise scars.

What Happens Before, During, and After Breast Revision Surgery?
At H/K/B Plastic Surgery, we approach breast revision surgery with meticulous care and attention to detail to improve patient comfort, safety, and satisfaction.
Consultation and Evaluation: First, you will sit down with your surgeon for a thorough consultation. During this private meeting, you will discuss your goals and review your medical history. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and learn what you should realistically expect from this procedure.
Customized Surgical Plan: Once your surgeon understands your concerns, they will create a customized surgical plan outlining the specific techniques they will use to revise your breasts, whether it involves implant replacement, removal, or other corrective measures.
Surgery: Breast revision surgery usually requires general anesthesia for patient safety and comfort. The duration of the procedure will depend on the complexity of the revision. After making incisions in discreet locations to minimize visible scarring, your surgeon will complete all the steps outlined in your tailored surgical plan.
Recovery and Aftercare: After surgery, you can return home with detailed instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two, though you should avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks. Please attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to allow your surgeon to monitor your healing progress and confirm your satisfaction with the results.
