What is Breast Revision?

Breast implant revision can be performed to address concerns that arise after a primary breast augmentation procedure. The procedure can help women to attain the outcome they originally sought. During surgery, the implants can be exchanged for smaller or larger ones, additional support in the chest can be created using a mesh, or the capsule can be revised to address complications such as capsular contracture. Fat transfer may also be utilized to support natural-looking breast contours.

What Can I Expect From the Procedure?

Your personalized treatment plan begins with a private consultation with Dr. Parakh, who will listen carefully to your concerns, perform a physical evaluation, and review your medical history. 

During surgery, the doctor will strive to reuse previous incisions whenever possible so as to avoid creating new scarring. The old devices are removed or exchanged as needed. The surrounding tissues may be expanded, or the capsule may be adjusted to better house the implants. For those dealing with more serious complications, such as BII (Breast Implant Illness) or BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma), a capsulectomy may be required to remove both the implants and their pockets.

What Will Recovery Entail?

After your breast implant procedure, you will be monitored in the recovery suite to ensure you are not experiencing any anesthesia complications. A friend, family member, or another responsible adult can then drive you home and assist with basic chores for the first 24-48 hours. Dr. Parakh will make sure you go home with a detailed aftercare plan as well as prescriptions for pain management and antibiotics.

Mild soreness, swelling, and bruising may occur after surgery, but ice packs can be used in short intervals to help alleviate discomfort. Small drains may be placed to help escort excess blood and fluids out of the body. These are typically removed within a few days.

Patients are encouraged to take gentle walks right away after surgery, as this can help enhance circulation, prevent clotting, and boost the patient’s overall mood. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2-3 weeks, however.
