RestoringComfort and Aesthetics

What is Breast Implant Revision?

Breast implant revision is a plastic surgery procedure designed to address concerns or complications related to previous breast augmentation surgery.

This specialized procedure can involve replacing, removing, or adjusting existing breast implants to improve appearance and comfort, or address medical issues. At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, our board-certified surgeons tailor each breast implant revision surgery to meet our patient's unique needs and goals.

New Implants, New You 

What is the Breast Implant Revision procedure like?

At our practice in Phoenix breast implant revision surgery involves several steps. First, you will be given general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. The surgeon will then make incisions in the same areas as your primary breast augmentation, remove the old implants, and address any underlying issues. In cases involving capsular contracture, scar tissue will be removed from the breast implant pocket.

New saline or silicone implants, if necessary, will be placed in the desired position, and the incisions will be closed with sutures or surgical glue. You will be monitored in a recovery room and then discharged home to continue healing. The specific steps involved in your breast implant revision surgery may vary depending on the nature of the issues being addressed and the surgeon's preferred techniques. For patients who would like to restore the natural quality of their breasts while maintaining volume, we also offer fat grafting augmentation, which utilizes excess fat in other areas of the body to enhance breasts' natural fullness. With a focus on your unique goals and needs, our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure optimal results with minimal downtime.
