Like any surgery, breast procedures sometimes need maintenance over time. Issues like asymmetry, capsular contracture, implant malposition, or changes due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations can affect the results. Revision surgery can replace or reposition implants, add a lift, or remove implants altogether to restore balance and confidence.
Even if the initial surgery was great, our bodies change. It’s common for people to feel that their results could be improved as time goes on. Revision rates for implant surgeries fall between 10–20%, but for combined augmentation and lift procedures, the rate can be as high as 35%. This isn’t necessarily a failure—it’s just a natural part of body changes and implant maintenance.
One common question I hear is, “How long will this last?” Implants aren’t designed to last forever. Ideally, they should be replaced every 10–15 years to prevent issues like rupture. Sometimes revisions are done simply to upgrade implant technology or to adjust size preferences.
Revision breast surgery is tailored to your needs—whether that’s treating a capsular contracture, changing implant size, or switching to a different approach entirely, like fat transfer or implant removal. The goal is always to refine your results and help you feel comfortable and confident again.
Even breast reductions may require revisions or time to re-tighten the skin, remove for volumen, or even add volume if there are significant weight changes.
