Improve or correct the contour of your chest with new breast implants after a previous breast augmentation surgery. As you get older, your implants may not look the way that you want anymore. With revision breast surgery, you can replace and address issues associated with your old implants and correct any deformities.

What is Revision Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Revision breast implant surgery can address breast size and shape, relieve discomfort from scar tissue, and alter the style or type of breast implant device. With revision surgery, old implants are replaced with new ones to improve or change the look of the breasts and/or update the material of the implant. This surgical procedure can include:

  • Reshaping the implant pocket to help reposition the new implant on the chest
  • Increasing or decreasing the implant size, style, or shape
  • Implant exchange with a simultaneous breast lift or reduction

Because breast tissue and implants can change over time, revision surgery helps restore a more youthful breast volume and symmetry. Dr. D’Agostino highly personalizes this cosmetic surgery to each individual, ensuring optimal results. For those who have received breast augmentation, Boca Raton is the ideal location for your revision and for a peaceful recovery.

Revision Breast Surgery Candidates

Candidates for revision surgery may have experienced a breast implant rupture or be dissatisfied with the results of their previous breast augmentation procedure. Others may wish to update from saline breast implants to silicone breast implants, or vice versa.

Ideal breast implant patients should be healthy, non-smokers, and at a stable weight. During your consultation at 5th Avenue Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. D’Agostino will discuss your goals, including any history of breast implant illness, and determine your ideal outcome.

Many breast augmentation patients seek revision surgery to enhance comfort, achieve better proportions, or refine results after years of changes to their implants or breast reconstruction.

The Revision Breast Surgery Procedure

Revision surgery begins with general anesthesia and careful implant insertion. The old implants are removed and the capsule adjusted as needed. Depending on the patient’s preferences, new implants may include silicone gel implants, saline, teardrop, or round breast implants, each designed to achieve specific aesthetic outcomes.

For patients who prefer natural enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation can be used instead of traditional implants. After the new implants are placed and Dr. D’Agostino confirms the final shape, the incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, completing this advanced breast augmentation revision process.

FAQ

Will my breast implant removal be performed en bloc?

While this is a possibility, not all breast removal surgeries need to be en bloc removals. These are mainly reserved for cases in which the capsule has hardened and constricted the implant considerably. We will only remove breast tissue and capsule that he feels needs to be extracted.

How long will my breast implant removal recovery take?

Most women can return to work in five days and have minimal discomfort after the surgery. If you’ve had the breast implants removed due to capsular contracture, there may be more discomfort, and the recovery time can be longer.rnrnYou will need to avoid lifting anything over five kilograms or exercising excessively for the first six weeks after your surgery. While you will usually be able to resume normal activity after six weeks, your breasts will take several months to settle into their new position.

Will I have scars after my breast implant removal surgery?

Breast implant removal scars typically heal very well and are often inconspicuous. It’s important to note they heal in stages, with the process taking three to four months. While the scars will fade, they will never disappear entirely.

what will my breasts look like after implant removal?

It may be the case that your breasts will droop, sag, or be flat after breast implant removal. However, some volume and shape will naturally return, given enough time.

We can show you breast implant removal before and after photos to help you get an idea of how your breasts will look after an explant procedure, along with photos of patients who have opted for a breast lift or augmentation afterward.

What happens if my saline implant or silicone implant ruptures?

If you have saline breast implants, your body will absorb the leaking saline implant with no risk. However, if you have silicone implants that rupture, you will likely need to remove the silicone shell surgically. We will recommend the right course of action after he evaluates you.

Dr. D is AMAZING!

I knew two things were most important to me when looking for the right surgeon: the results and bedside manner. I feel so grateful to have hit the jackpot with Dr D who gave me the BEST of both of those. From the first moment I met her in the consult, I knew she was different from most doctors. She is incredibly kind, sweet, patient, and attentive. She made me feel cared for in a way that’s hard to put into words, but when you’re preparing for a big surgery, it’s the exact type of energy that puts you at total ease. Dr D not only answered all my questions, on multiple different occasions, leading up to surgery but she was extremely patient with them all. 

Dr.D is amazing and truly the best!

The results are better than I imagined and I am so grateful to have found Dr. D. I couldn’t have made a better choice then choosing Dr.D for my surgery. She is one of a kind!

There’s way too many good things to say about Dr. Farber!

I did my research and met with two other doctors before I met with Dr. Farber. There’s way too many good things to say about Dr Farber and staff. I must say he’s very professional and enthusiastic about his profession. The doctor followed up with regular visits to see how I was healing. I waited one whole year before I decided to make a comment about my procedure. To be sure all is good. Now a year later all I have to say is, God bless Dr. Farber. I really appreciate everything he did for me. He is a wonderful person & doctor along with his staff…
