Breast revision surgery at Refine Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics is designed for patients who experience complications after breast augmentation or are unhappy with prior outcomes. From capsular contracture to rippling or asymmetry, our surgical approach is honest, customized, and true to you.
How soon after my initial breast augmentation can I have revision surgery?
Typically, it’s best to wait at least 6 months to 1 year, unless the issue is urgent (e.g., capsular contracture or implant rupture).
Will I need new implants?
Not always. In some cases, we can reposition existing implants. Others may benefit from replacement, switching sizes or materials, or removal altogether.
Can fat grafting help with rippling or contour irregularities?
Yes. Fat grafting softens visible implant edges or adds natural volume to deficient areas.
What kind of scars should I expect?
We often use existing incision sites, minimizing additional scarring. When new incisions are necessary, we place them strategically and offer guidance on scar care.
How long will the results last?
With proper care and lifestyle habits, results can last many years. Our team will offer guidance on maintaining your outcome long-term.
What if I want to remove my implants completely?
We can safely perform explant surgery and sculpt your natural breast with or without a lift.
What if I had multiple prior surgeries?
We specialize in complex revision cases. Careful evaluation and imaging help us plan the best course of action, even after multiple prior procedures.
Is it riskier than primary breast augmentation?
Revision can be more complex due to scarring or prior anatomy changes, but it's highly safe and effective when performed by experienced surgeons like ours.
What are the risks of breast revision?
As with any surgery, risks may include infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, implant rupture, or recurrence of capsular contracture. These risks will be reviewed in detail at your consultation.
