Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, with thousands of patients achieving their desired enhancement each year. However, not every surgery delivers the intended results. Whether due to complications, implant issues, or personal preference, some patients choose to undergo revision breast surgery to correct or improve their outcomes. At Manhattan Plastic Surgery, PLLC, we understand how sensitive and personal this decision can be, and we are here to provide the expertise and care you need.

Why Patients Seek Breast Augmentation Revision

There are many reasons a patient may consider revision breast surgery. One common cause is implant complications, such as implant rupture, capsular contracture (the tightening of scar tissue around the implant), or implant displacement. These issues can develop over time and may affect both the appearance and comfort of the breasts.

Another reason is size or shape dissatisfaction. Some patients find that the implant size or style they originally chose doesn’t align with their expectations or complement their body proportions as they had hoped.

Changes in breast tissue can also prompt the need for revision surgery. Natural life events such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the aging process can alter the look and feel of the breasts, even when the implants themselves remain intact.

Lastly, asymmetry can occur when uneven healing or implant positioning leads to noticeable differences between the breasts. In these cases, revision surgery can help create a more balanced and harmonious appearance.

The Revision Surgery Process

Revision breast surgery is often more complex than the initial augmentation. Our skilled surgeon carefully evaluates your current implants, breast tissue, and aesthetic goals to create a customized plan. Depending on your needs, revision surgery may involve:

• Removing and replacing implants with a different size, shape, or material.

• Correcting implant placement for improved symmetry.

• Addressing complications like capsular contracture.

• Combining revision with a breast lift to restore a youthful, lifted appearance.
