Breast Revision Surgery
Some women decide to receive breast revision surgery because they end up with a less desirable outcome or have implants that need to be replaced or removed. This surgery is used to correct previously performed breast surgery usually involving implant problems, implant pocket problems like lateral displacement and bottoming out, implant size issues, capsular contracture (hard scar tissue around the implant) or breast lift revision.

Breast Revision Surgery is a plastic surgery procedure to correct previously performed breast surgery. As breast revision surgery varies from patient to patient depending on their individual anatomy and concerns, each revision surgery is specifically tailored to each patient. Because there are anatomic changes and deformities created as a result of the previous surgery, a detailed analysis of breast anatomy is critical as well as experience with breast revision surgeries to tackle complex problems.
Some women desire to have their breast implants removed all together as they no longer wish to have them or have a medical condition that requires the removal.
Capsular contracture is where hard scar tissue forms around the implants causing the breasts to be hard, distorted or asymmetric.
The pocket is too wide so implants fall to the side, bottoming out where the implant slips under the fold, symmastia where the implants cross the midline.
Although most women have some natural asymmetry, following breast augmentation some women may notice that their breasts are significantly uneven, an issue that can be improved.
