When to Consider Revision Surgery

Women seek revision breast surgery to change implant size or shape or address changes caused by weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging. Many also turn to Dr. Strock when previous surgery results are unsatisfactory or have diminished over time.

The appearance of the breasts after breast augmentation depends on the position of the implants in the breast tissue. Aesthetic changes can occur if the breast tissue begins to drop to a lower position, either because of gravity or changes to the capsule created when the implants were initially inserted.

Sometimes, breast implants ultimately settle into a position lower or in a different position than initially intended when they were first placed.

Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Strock will work with you to address specific issues related to the device type, size, position, and breast tissue. There are many reasons why patients consider breast revision surgery.

Change in Implant Size or Shape

Your aesthetic ideals may change over time. That is one of the most common reasons for revision breast implant surgery. You may decide that a particular breast size or shape that appealed to you at the time of your primary breast augmentation procedure is no longer desirable. If your cosmetic goals have changed, you can consult Dr. Strock about exchanging your implants to get results that match your current goals.

Advances in Breast Implants

Modern breast implant technology offers a variety of choices to suit individual needs, including different shapes (round or teardrop), surfaces (smooth or textured), profiles (high, moderate plus, or moderate), and fillers (saline or cohesive silicone gel).

Dr. Strock is highly experienced with “gummy bear” implants, also known as highly cohesive gel implants or form-stable implants. These implants provide enhanced shaping options due to their increased gel thickness, allowing for tailored choices in width, height, and projection to create a personalized look.

Capsular contracture

Capsular contracture occurs when the tissue capsule surrounding a breast implant thickens abnormally, causing increased firmness. To correct this, a procedure may be needed to divide, release, or remove the capsule, often paired with implant replacement. In some cases, a breast lift is also recommended to reposition the breast tissue, enhancing both appearance and comfort for an optimal outcome.

Your Revision Breast Procedure

Dr. Strock develops a surgical plan based on the specific reasons the patient is seeking a secondary breast implant procedure. During the consultation, he discusses the very personal and individual reasons motivating the patient’s decision.

Dr. Strock clearly explains the various surgical options–including implant alternatives, incision location, and implant placement–and will recommend what he considers the best plan based on his expertise. In some cases, a patient decides to have the implants removed without being replaced. In many situations, Dr. Strock may recommend a breast lift if needed to reposition low tissue to regain an aesthetically pleasing shape.

Breast Revision Surgery Recovery & Aftercare

Secondary breast enhancement is usually performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Dr. Strock and his team will provide detailed post-operative instructions that, if followed, will help you to make a quick and comfortable recovery and return to your normal activity.

Routine follow-up visits with Dr. Strock and his team will be scheduled to help you with your recovery. You will also receive specific instructions to help you safely resume your exercise routines for cardio and weight lifting as needed. Included in these instructions will be specific guidance on optimal bra support to help stabilize your implants.

How Much Does Revision Breast Surgery Cost?

Revision breast surgery varies depending on the specific details of each case, including the techniques involved, the time required to perform the surgery, and the patient’s reasons for getting secondary breast enhancement.
