What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast revision surgery is a procedure that corrects or enhances the outcome of a prior breast surgery.
This may involve:
-
Replacing or removing implants
-
Adjusting implant size or type
-
Improving breast shape and contour
-
Correcting implant positioning
-
Addressing complications
Each revision procedure is highly individualized, and Dr. Jed Horowitz carefully evaluates your prior surgery and current anatomy to create a customized plan.
What Concerns Does Breast Revision Address?
Breast revision surgery can improve a range of concerns, including:
-
Capsular contracture (tightening around the implant)
-
Implant rupture or deflation
-
Implant malposition (too high, low, or asymmetrical)
-
Rippling or visible implant edges
-
Unsatisfactory cosmetic results
-
Desire to change implant size or type
-
Changes due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy
Revision surgery is often more complex than primary augmentation and requires a high level of surgical expertise.
