Breast Revision
While most patients are satisfied with the results of their breast augmentation, various factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and the natural aging process can alter the appearance of the breasts over time. Breast revision surgery can address these changes, improving the aesthetics and feel of your breasts years after your initial augmentation.

What to Expect During Your Consultation
At Finesse Plastic Surgery, we prioritize your goals for breast revision. During your hour-long consultation, we discuss your desired outcomes, examine your implants, and create a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Justin West, our board-certified plastic surgeon, guides you through options like repositioning implants, addressing capsular contracture, replacing ruptured implants, or adjusting size, ensuring you feel confident and informed.
Common Reasons for Breast Revision Surgery
Implant Position Issues
Over time, implants can drop or move sideways. Repositioning the implants often involves sutures or grafts to ensure they stay in the proper place, providing a more natural look and feel.
Capsular Contracture
Scar tissue around the implant can tighten, causing firmness or pain. Treatment involves removing the scar tissue and replacing the implant, restoring a natural and comfortable breast shape.
Ruptured Implants
Ruptures are often detected during mammograms or MRIs. Treatment includes removing the ruptured implant and possibly the surrounding scar tissue to ensure a clean and safe implant pocket.
Size Changes
Patients may want to change their implant size. Increasing implant size is typically straightforward, while decreasing size may require a breast lift to remove excess skin and achieve the desired contour.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer can correct contour irregularities by injecting processed fat from other body areas, providing a dual benefit of improved breast shape and body contouring.
Asymmetry Correction
Revision surgery can address significant size or shape differences between breasts, improving symmetry and overall appearance. This may involve adjusting implant size, repositioning implants, or performing a breast lift.
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
One of the top reasons that patients choose our practice is the before and after gallery on our website and our Instagram accounts (@finesseplasticsurgery, @justinwestmd). We encourage you to take some time and go through our photos. We try to show a range of different body types and implant sizes so that our new patients can find a “before” photo that has a similar build and an “after” photo that best represents their goals. During your consultation we will review the photos you have chosen as your “wish pics” and develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
