The most common reasons for needing breast revision surgery include implant rupture, implant replacement (size or type), capsular contracture, implant malposition, “double bubble” deformity, or a combination of these issues.
When a breast implant is inserted, the body naturally forms a scar around it, known as a capsule. If this capsule becomes pathological, it can compress the implant, causing a distorted breast shape.
The goal of revision surgery is to restore a more youthful contour and improve the results of a previous breast augmentation.
Approximately 1-2 hours. The duration depends on the specific issue being addressed.
General or regional anesthesia can be used.
It can be performed as an outpatient procedure or with hospital admission.
The patient should be able to return to work within seven to ten days, depending on the type of work.Special care should be taken with the breasts for at least a month after surgery.
This depends on the patient’s breast laxity or sagging resulting from having children or significant weight loss.
Generally, the results are stable and long-lasting. However, gravity and aging effects may eventually alter the size and shape of the breasts.
