Breast Implant Revision
Breast implant revision surgery is performed to change the appearance of previous breast augmentation surgery due to undesirable results or changes over time. Often, it involves exchanging the current breast implants for a new size or type. Breast implant revision surgery may address issues with implant position or capsular contracture (scar tissue), or removal of the implants).

For revision surgery for breast implants, the procedure often requires a similar approach to breast augmentation surgery, using a longer incision situated underneath the breast. It is still well hidden, but slightly longer.
-
The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia.
-
Procedure time is usually around 2 hours, depending on whether or not there is capsule work or reaugmentation required.
-
Recovery time varies depending on the exact surgery performed but ranges from 2-4 weeks with upper body exercises resuming by 4 weeks.
