Breast revision surgery is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast procedure. Whether due to complications, changes over time, or evolving aesthetic goals, revision surgery offers patients the opportunity to restore comfort, symmetry, and confidence. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eugene Kim provides breast revision to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, CA, and surrounding communities.
Common Reasons for Breast Revision Surgery
Patients seek breast revision for many reasons, including:
- Capsular contracture
• Implant rupture or deflation
• Implant malposition
• Asymmetry or shape concerns
• Desire to change implant size or type
• Aging, pregnancy, or weight changes affecting results
Each revision case is unique and requires individualized planning.
How Breast Revision Surgery Is Performed
The surgical approach depends on the underlying issue and desired outcome. Revision may involve removing or replacing implants, adjusting the implant pocket, removing scar tissue, or combining surgery with a breast lift.
Because revision surgery is more complex than primary augmentation, careful surgical planning is essential.
Recovery After Breast Revision Surgery
Recovery varies depending on the extent of correction. In many cases, recovery is similar to or slightly longer than the initial surgery. Swelling, bruising, and soreness are common during early healing.
Most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery over several weeks.
Results and Expectations
Breast revision surgery can significantly improve comfort, appearance, and confidence. While no surgery can guarantee perfection, realistic expectations and clear communication with your surgeon lead to high patient satisfaction.
Choosing the Right Surgeon for Revision
Selecting a surgeon with extensive experience in breast revision is critical. Revision procedures require advanced skill, attention to detail, and an artistic approach to restore natural balance and symmetry.
