What Is Breast Implant Revision? 

Implant revision surgery—sometimes called breast augmentation revision—corrects or improves the outcome of a previous breast augmentation. This may involve replacing old implants, addressing complications, or simply updating your look to better reflect your lifestyle and aesthetic. 

With decades of experience performing breast enhancement surgery, Dr. Davies has earned a reputation for combining technical skill with artistic sensitivity. As a female plastic surgeon, she brings a woman’s perspective and understands not only how you want to look, but how you want to feel in your own skin.

Reasons for Breast Implant Revision 

Women decide to undergo implant revision surgery for many reasons, including: 

  • Desire to change implant size or type 
  • Implant rupture or leakage 
  • Capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant) 
  • Implant rippling, shifting, or asymmetry 
  • Breast sagging due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy 
  • Dissatisfaction with the results of a previous surgery 

Women who want to remove implants without replacing them get explant surgery.

What To Expect 

Dr. Davies will fully customize your procedure to your needs. She may: 

  • Replace your implants with a new size or type 
  • Correct asymmetry, rippling, or capsular contracture 

Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.

Recovery After Breast Implant Revision

Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of your procedure, but most patients can return to light activity within a week. You may initially experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, but you can manage these symptoms with medication and supportive garments. Dr. Davies and her team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and be available to answer any questions as you heal.

Most women begin to see their final results within a few months, as swelling subsides and the breasts settle into a more natural shape.

Dr. Davies’ Thoughtful, Skilled Approach 

Breast revision procedures are often more complex than primary augmentations and require experience and precision. The unique challenges posed by breast revision procedures (as opposed to primary breast augmentation procedures) include: 

  • The presence of scar tissue 
  • Compromised blood supply 
  • Diminished skin quality 
  • An implant pocket that needs repair or resection 

Dr. Davies is uniquely qualified to perform these procedures with surgical excellence and a compassionate, patient-first mindset.
