Breast Revision

Unhappy with your breast enhancement surgery? We’ve got you covered!

At Hortman Clinics, our board-certified plastic surgeons are experienced in breast revisions that help correct unsatisfactory results from past breast augmentation and enhancement surgeries.

Breast revision is a surgical procedure that can improve the shape, size, projection and symmetry of the breasts. It may involve the removal or replacement of breast implants.

Why

Why Should You Get Breast Revision?

There are several reasons– aesthetic and functional, why you can choose to undergo breast revision. Here are the most common ones!

This may occur due to complications from poor surgical techniques used in the earlier procedure.

When insufficient natural breast tissue is needed to cover the implant or unusually large implants have been placed, the skin over the breasts wrinkles.

The silicone shell of the implant may open or tear and is visible in an MRI. These breast implants require replacement.

This is the formation of fibrous tissue around the implant that squeezes them to give the breasts an unusually firm or distorted appearance)

If the breast implants have moved from their original placement, they must be repositioned.

Perfect breast symmetry is nearly impossible to achieve. But with breast revision, our experts will help you correct any difference in the size, shape, or projection of your breasts tailored to your expectations.

What to Expect After Breast Revision Surgery?

Recovery after a breast revision is similar to other breast augmentation or enhancement procedures. It may take six weeks for the incisions to heal, the swelling to subside, and your breasts to feel soft and more natural. The healing time varies for everyone, so it may take longer for breasts to soften in some individuals.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Individuals who are dissatisfied with their breasts or feel their breasts look abnormal after previous breast surgery can choose to undergo breast revision. Ideal candidates for this procedure are those who are healthy and do not smoke. 

Our experts at Hortman Clinics will evaluate your health and understand your concerns to determine whether you are a good candidate for breast revision.

In most cases, yes. Many women who undergo breast revision opt to change their breast implant size if it does not pose a risk. Ask our expert about changing breast implant size or type during your consultation appointment with them.

The results of a breast revision are usually permanent unless any future complications develop. Remember that your breasts continue to age naturally over time, and they may begin to appear different as time goes by.

Breast revision surgery is safe and does not cause side effects or complications often. However, sometimes complications may occur, which include:

  • Rupture of implants
  • Malposition of implants
  • Drifting implants
  • Capsular contracture
  • Sagging of breasts due to the heavy implants
  • Unnatural appearance of the implants when they are placed over the muscle in slim women with minimal breast tissue

To undergo a breast revision procedure, you must be physically fit and maintain a stable weight. The plastic surgeon will assess you pre-operatively, and you may need a few additional tests. 

Other things you need to do before the procedure are:

  • Stop aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications or nutritional supplements that may interfere with blood clotting
  • Quit smoking
  • If there is any change in your health before surgery, let your surgeon know.

A breast revision surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. It is a short procedure, and your surgeon will give you pain-relieving medications to control any pain or discomfort after the procedure. You may experience swelling and soreness in the treated area for the first few days.

If you have cosmetic concerns with your breast augmentation or its results, you must wait a minimum of three to six months before undergoing a breast implant revision. This is the time it takes for the residual swelling to reduce and the implants to settle into their final positions.

Most people will require four to six weeks of rest before returning to their exercise and workout routines. Avoid heavy lifting for atleast two months after the procedure. Always check with the surgeon before adding any new exercise to your daily routine.
