What Is Breast Revision?

Breast revision is a surgical procedure performed to correct, adjust, or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation, lift, or reconstruction. This may involve replacing or removing implants, correcting asymmetry, or addressing structural concerns.

Unlike primary breast surgery, revision procedures often require a more nuanced approach due to existing scar tissue, implant positioning, or changes in the breast over time. At SOMA, each case is evaluated individually to determine the most appropriate strategy for achieving a stable and refined result.

Common Reasons for Breast Revision

Patients pursue breast revision for a variety of reasons, ranging from aesthetic preferences to medical or structural concerns.

Desire to change implant size, shape, or type.
Implant complications such as rupture or capsular contracture.
Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with prior results.
Implant malposition or shifting over time.
Changes in breast appearance due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at SOMA is comprehensive and focused on understanding both your surgical history and your current goals. This is a critical step in planning a successful revision procedure. You will meet with a board-certified surgeon who will review your previous procedures, assess implant placement and breast structure, and identify any underlying concerns. Imaging or additional evaluation may be recommended to better understand the condition of existing implants or tissue. This process is collaborative and detailed, ensuring that all options are clearly explained and that your treatment plan is tailored to your specific situation.

With his expertise, we had a great discussion and formulated a plan together. I walked out of his office elated and relieved that we were on the same page! Dr. Rogers is very patient, and he takes his time to really listen!”

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Revision?

Breast revision may be appropriate for individuals who are dissatisfied with the outcome of a previous breast procedure or who are experiencing changes or complications over time. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what revision surgery can achieve.

It is also important to understand that revision procedures can be more complex than initial surgeries and may require a staged approach. Patients seeking improved comfort, symmetry, or a more natural appearance often benefit from this procedure.

What to Expect During Your Breast Revision Procedure

Breast revision is performed under general anesthesia and is tailored to the specific concerns being addressed.

Implant Removal or Replacement

In many cases, revision involves removing or replacing existing implants. This may include switching implant types, adjusting size, or repositioning the implant to achieve better balance and support.

Correction of Structural Concerns

Revision surgery may also address issues such as capsular contracture, implant malposition, or stretched skin. This can involve reshaping the breast pocket, reinforcing internal support, or combining the procedure with a breast lift.

Customized Surgical Planning

Because no two revision cases are the same, the surgical plan is highly individualized. Every step is designed to improve both the appearance and long-term stability of the result.

Breast Revision Recovery

Recovery after breast revision varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the techniques used. In the initial phase, patients may experience swelling, soreness, and mild discomfort, similar to primary breast surgery. These symptoms are managed with clear guidance and support from the SOMA team. Most patients return to light activities within about a week, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to allow proper healing.

Long-Term Healing and Results

As healing progresses, the breasts settle into their new shape and position. Final results become more apparent as swelling resolves and tissues stabilize. SOMA emphasizes ongoing follow-up care to monitor healing and ensure that results remain consistent and aligned with your goals over time.

Addressing Implant-Related Concerns

For patients with existing implants, revision surgery provides an opportunity to address concerns related to both appearance and comfort. This may include replacing older implants, adjusting implant position, or removing implants altogether.

In some cases, additional techniques such as fat grafting are used to refine contour and improve softness. Each of these decisions is guided by a detailed evaluation and a clear understanding of your long-term goals.
