Breast implant revision (or breast augmentation revision) is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the results of a primary breast augmentation. Whether addressing aesthetic concerns or medical complications, revision surgery allows patients to replace implants, adjust implant size, correct implant position, or remove scar tissue.
Breast revision surgery is highly individualized. Some patients choose revision to upgrade to modern breast implants, while others seek correction for issues like capsular contracture, implant rupture, or dissatisfaction with their original results. Dr. Compoginis carefully evaluates your anatomy, prior results, and goals to create a customized plastic surgery plan.
On the day of surgery, patients are placed under general anesthesia for comfort and safety. Dr. Compoginis begins by carefully reopening or refining previous incision sites to minimize additional scarring.
Depending on your needs, the procedure may involve breast implant removal or replacement, reshaping the implant pocket, removing scar tissue (capsulectomy), or incorporating additional techniques like a breast lift or fat grafting to sculpt or enhance your natural breast tissue. Every step is performed with meticulous precision to restore balance, symmetry, and a natural contour.
Once complete, patients are monitored in recovery before returning home the same day with detailed post-operative instructions.
