Breast Implant Revision

Breast implants have about a 10 -15 year life span and you will need to undergo a breast implant revised at this time. However, the reality is, some people aren’t happy with their breast implants following the surgery. Sometimes breast implants go wrong. Sometimes, its the implant choice, or the surgeon you chose.  When this happens, it's time to call a cosmetic surgeon or board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in fixing breast implants. This is called a breast implant revision.

The most common reasons for a breast implant revision are the breast implant size is wrong, its surgical placement or position is wrong, or there are problems with the implants’ look and feel. It is also possible there are malfunctions or issues with the actual implant. Many doctors who specialize in breast implant revision can help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted. 

How Does Breast Implants Revision Surgery Work?

After your cosmetic surgeon or board-certified plastic surgeon has administered the anesthetic, he or she will use the newest techniques and tools available to correct your specific problem. Once the surgery is over, your doctor will carefully close the incision and place a soft surgical bra over your breasts.
