Reclaim Confidence. Refine Your Results.
Breast augmentation revision surgery is a personalized procedure designed to address concerns or changes following a previous breast augmentation. Over time, implants and surrounding tissues can change due to aging, lifestyle factors, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or evolving aesthetic preferences.
Whether you are experiencing implant-related complications or simply feel your results no longer reflect your goals, revision surgery offers an opportunity to restore comfort, balance, and confidence in your body.
Many individuals seek breast augmentation revision to improve how their breasts look, feel, or function. If you are noticing discomfort, asymmetry, or dissatisfaction with your current implants, you are not alone — revision surgery is a common and effective solution.
What Is Breast Augmentation Revision?
Breast augmentation revision involves removing, replacing, or repositioning existing breast implants to address functional or aesthetic concerns. The approach is highly individualized and may involve one or several surgical techniques depending on your anatomy, implant history, and desired outcome.
Common Reasons for Revision Surgery
Breast augmentation revision may be recommended to address:
- Capsular contracture: Tightening or hardening of scar tissue around the implant
- Implant rupture or leakage: Compromising implant integrity
- Changes in breast shape or position: Due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes
- Desire to change implant size, shape, or material: To better reflect current preferences
- Implant malposition or asymmetry: When implants shift or sit unevenly
Each revision plan is customized to correct these concerns while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.
Is Breast Augmentation Revision Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation revision if you:
- Experience discomfort, tightness, or pain related to your implants
- Feel your implants no longer suit your body or lifestyle
- Notice visible asymmetry, rippling, or changes in breast position
- Have been diagnosed with implant-related complications
- Wish to restore a softer, more natural look and feel
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to explore your options and determine the most appropriate approach for your goals.
Your Breast Augmentation Revision Consultation
Your consultation is a collaborative and educational process. Dr. Seal will take the time to understand your surgical history, current concerns, and aesthetic goals. A physical examination and review of your implants help guide the discussion around treatment options.
Surgical Options and Techniques
Depending on your needs, breast augmentation revision may involve:
- Implant exchange or removal
- Adjustment of the implant pocket
- Capsulectomy or capsulotomy to address scar tissue
- Breast lift (mastopexy) to improve shape and position
- Use of different implant types or sizes
The goal is to achieve a result that feels comfortable, looks balanced, and aligns with how you want your body to look and move today.
Preparing for Surgery
Optimizing your health before surgery supports safe healing and long-lasting results. Maintaining balanced nutrition, regular movement, and avoiding smoking are important steps in preparing for revision surgery. These factors help reduce risks and improve recovery.
What to Expect During Your Recovery
Surgery and Immediate Recovery
Breast augmentation revision is typically performed as an outpatient procedure at a private surgical facility. Most patients return home the same day with detailed instructions and support for recovery.
Recovery Timeline and Activity Guidelines
Initial recovery generally takes one to two weeks, with many patients returning to non-strenuous activities within this time. You will be advised to avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for several weeks to allow proper healing.
Follow-Up Care and Healing
Dr. Seal will see you throughout your recovery to monitor healing, answer questions, and provide guidance. Swelling gradually resolves over the first few months, and incision lines continue to soften and fade over the first year.
Results That Support Comfort and Confidence
Aesthetic and Functional Benefits
Breast augmentation revision can restore comfort, improve symmetry, and enhance overall breast appearance. Many patients feel more at ease in clothing, more confident in their body, and better aligned with their current lifestyle and personal goals.
Revision surgery is not about perfection — it is about refinement, balance, and helping you feel comfortable and confident in your body again. For more Breast Augmentation Revision information from the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons.
