What is Breast Implant Revision Surgery?

Women who are unhappy with their breast implants often choose to have breast implant revision surgery. This cosmetic procedure is done to correct malpositioning, capsular contracture or deflation as well as a number of natural changes that could lead a woman to be dissatisfied with her breast implants (these changes refer to a change in the breast implant due to weight gain or loss, pregnancies and aging).

The ideal candidate for breast implant revision surgery is a women who is healthy, not pregnant or breastfeeding and has realistic expectations about the surgery. During breast implant revision surgery, the breast implant can be replaced, reconstructed or repaired. If you are considering breast implant revision surgery, make sure you contact an experienced cosmetic surgeon for the job!

Breast Implant Revision Surgery

The most common types of breast implant revision surgery include the following:

• Malposition: If the breast pocket (which was initially used for breast implants) is too large, it can happen that the implant isn’t centered over the breast. Whether the breast pocket is too low or placed too laterally, the solution is to suture the pockets from inside and then correctly position the pocket over the breast tissue.
• Deflation: Although this is a rare occurrence with saline breast implants, there have been cases where the implant is ruptured, leading it to deflate. The solution for breast implant deflation is to remove the implant and replace it with a new one.
• Capsular contracture: The body forms a capsule around any type of implant, but in certain cases the capsule becomes tight and thick. In this case, a cosmetic surgeon will remove the capsule and place new breast implants in your chest.
• Rippling: Revision breast implant surgery is often needed when the edges of the breast implant is seen or felt. Rippling is more prevalent where saline implants were used and the solution is to replace the implants with silicone breast implants.
