BREAST REVISION: Refine • Correct • Renew
Expert Corrective Surgery | Restore Comfort, Symmetry & Your Desired Aesthetic
Breast augmentation revision is a specialized corrective surgery designed to change, replace, or remove existing breast implants. Whether you are addressing medical concerns like hardening tissue, fixing positional issues like unevenness, or simply updating your look to a different size or shape, a revision restores both the comfort and the beauty of your results.
Note: Revision surgery requires advanced skill due to existing scar tissue.
What You Will Achieve
✅ Restored Comfort: Eliminates pain, tightness, and the “heavy” feeling caused by hardening scar tissue (capsular contracture).
✅ Perfect Symmetry: Corrects lopsided or uneven breasts, ensuring both sides match perfectly in height, volume, and shape.
✅ Ideal Positioning: Fixes implants that have shifted, dropped too low (“bottoming out”), or sit too high, ensuring they sit securely in the correct place.
✅ Updated Aesthetic: Allows you to switch to your current dream size, whether you want to go larger, smaller, or change from saline to silicone.
✅ Natural Look & Feel: Softens the breast tissue and can hide visible “rippling” or implant edges using fat grafting for a seamless finish.
✅ Youthful Lift: When combined with a lift, it removes sagging skin to restore a firm, high, and youthful breast profile.
✅ Confidence & Peace of Mind: Resolves worries about old or ruptured implants, giving you a fresh start with the latest, safest technology

Frequently Asked Questions
What is capsular contracture and can revision fix it?
Capsular contracture is hardening of scar tissue around an implant; revision surgery removes the affected capsule (capsulectomy) and replaces the implant, often with adjunctive techniques to prevent recurrence.
Is revision more complex than the first procedure?
Yes, revision is more technically demanding due to scar tissue and altered anatomy; choosing an experienced revision specialist is critical.
