Breast revision surgery corrects or refines the results of previous breast augmentation, lift, or implant procedures. Whether your goals have changed, your prior results no longer suit your body, or you're experiencing implant-related issues, breast revision restores comfort, confidence, and beautifully balanced results.
Patients seek revision for many reasons: changes in aesthetic goals—wanting a more natural look, smaller or larger implants, or adjustments after pregnancy or aging; implant-related concerns—rupture, capsular contracture, rippling, or malposition; discomfort or lifestyle evolution—heavy or uncomfortable implants, increased physical activity, or breast tissue changes over time; and issues from prior surgery—asymmetry, scarring, or results that don't align with your vision.
