What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast Revision Surgery is a corrective and enhancement procedure performed to modify or improve the results of a previous breast surgery, such as augmentation, lift, or reduction. This procedure focuses on addressing concerns that have developed over time or after the initial procedure, including implant issues, asymmetry, capsular contracture, or dissatisfaction with shape and size. The goal is to achieve a more balanced, natural, and comfortable appearance while improving both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the breasts. It provides an opportunity to restore harmony between body proportions and enhance self-image with refined and lasting results.
Breast Revision Surgery can provide several benefits beyond aesthetic improvement. It can relieve physical discomfort caused by tightness, scarring, or uneven weight distribution, while restoring softness and natural movement to the breasts. The surgery also allows the replacement of older implants with newer, safer, and more durable materials. With proper recovery and care, the results often lead to improved comfort, renewed body confidence, and a rejuvenated contour that aligns with the patient’s current lifestyle and preferences.
How It Works
Breast Revision Surgery begins with a detailed consultation by the doctor at the affiliated clinic, where a thorough assessment of the breasts, previous surgical history, and current concerns is performed. During this stage, the doctor examines the implant condition, skin elasticity, and symmetry to determine the most suitable approach for correction.
On the day of the procedure, the patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The surgery typically lasts about 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the revision. During the procedure, the doctor carefully removes or replaces implants, removes hardened scar tissue if necessary, and repositions the implant or reshapes the breast tissue for better contour. Incisions are made along existing scar lines whenever possible to minimize new scarring, and the wounds are closed using either sutures or Dermabond, a skin adhesive that may eliminate the need for sutures removal.
After procedure, patients are usually discharged on the same day or may stay 1 night for observation, depending on the extent of the procedure. Sutures removal is generally performed about 7 days after surgery, unless Dermabond was used. Follow-up visits for 1 to 2 times are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure a smooth recovery process. Most patients can resume daily activities within 3 to 5 days, though strenuous exercise should still be avoided for 6 weeks. Temporary swelling or tightness may occur but gradually subsides within 5 to 7 days as healing progresses.
