Correct, Enhance, or Modify the
Results of Your Breast Surgeries
Breast revision surgery corrects, enhances, or modifies the results of a previous breast surgery. Whether due to complications, changes in personal aesthetic preferences, or the natural aging process, breast revision aims to address issues such as implant malposition, capsular contracture, or implant rupture. This surgery can also involve changing the type or size of implants, improving symmetry, or addressing any dissatisfaction with the initial outcomes.
At Evolve Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons prioritize patient satisfaction and safety in every breast revision procedure. During your consultation, our surgical team will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your specific concerns and goals. By tailoring a personalized treatment plan, we ensure your breast revision achieves the desired results.

Your Breast Revision Journey:
Before, During, and After
Before Breast Revision
Before your breast revision surgery, you will have a detailed consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this appointment, you’ll discuss your concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals. Our surgeons will conduct a thorough examination and may order imaging tests. Together, you’ll develop a personalized surgical plan. You’ll receive comprehensive preoperative instructions, including guidelines on medications, smoking cessation, and dietary restrictions. This ensures you are well-informed and ready for a successful procedure.
During Breast Revision
Your breast revision surgery will be performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will make precise incisions, often using your previous scars to minimize new ones. They will remove or replace implants, adjust the breast tissue, and address any complications like capsular contracture. The procedure may involve repositioning the implants or correcting asymmetry. Once the desired adjustments are made, the incisions are carefully closed. This meticulous process ensures optimal results tailored to your needs.
After Breast Revision
After your breast revision surgery, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area before going home. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are manageable with prescribed medications. Our surgeons will provide detailed postoperative care instructions, including activity restrictions and how to care for your incisions. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, but full recovery typically takes several weeks. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Breast Revision FAQs
How Long After the Initial Surgery Should I Wait Before Considering a Breast Revision?
It’s recommended to wait at least six months to a year after your initial breast surgery before considering revision. This waiting period allows your body to heal fully and for the final results of the initial surgery to become apparent. However, if you’re experiencing severe complications, such as implant rupture or significant pain, you should consult your surgeon immediately to discuss earlier intervention.
Will My Recovery From Breast Revision Be Different From My Initial Breast Augmentation?
Depending on the complexity of the revision, recovery from breast revision can be similar to or slightly longer than recovery from your initial breast augmentation. You can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which should be manageable with prescribed medications. Following postoperative instructions carefully, including limiting physical activity and wearing supportive garments, will help ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, with full recovery taking several weeks to a few months.
Are There Risks Associated With Breast Revision Surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, breast revision surgery carries risks. Potential complications include infection, bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome. However, choosing experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons, like those at Evolve Plastic Surgery, can significantly reduce these risks and complications.
