When Is a Breast Implant Revision Needed?

Woman who previously had a breast augmentation holds new breast implants in her hand when considering breast revision surgery. Breast implant revision is a highly personal procedure designed to address aesthetic or medical concerns with existing breast implants. Dr. Frank Ferraro has over 26 years of experience in guiding patients through the decision-making process for this transformative surgery. Whether the goal is to correct complications or update implant appearance, our team is committed to delivering beautiful, natural-looking results.

Common Reasons for Breast Implant Revision

Breast implant revision is typically sought for the following reasons:

  • Desire to Change Implant Size or Type: Lifestyle changes or evolving aesthetic preferences may prompt patients to replace implants with a different size, shape, or material.
  • Implant Complications: Issues such as capsular contracture (tightening of scar tissue around the implant), implant rupture, or leakage often necessitate revision surgery.
  • Asymmetry: Shifts in the position of implants over time can lead to an uneven appearance, requiring surgical adjustment.
  • Aging or Weight Fluctuations: The natural effects of aging, pregnancy, or weight changes can alter the appearance of breast implants, leading patients to consider revision.
  • Improved Implant Technology: Some patients choose revision to take advantage of advancements in implant design and materials, which may offer improved safety and durability.

The Revision Process

Every breast implant revision is tailored to the unique needs of the patient. During a consultation, Dr. Ferraro conducts a thorough evaluation to identify concerns and determine the best course of action. You can feel confident knowing that we prioritize patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction throughout every step of the process. The surgery and recovery are not dissimilar from your initial breast augmentation surgery.
