Breast implants are designed to last for many years; however, there are instances when revision surgery may be necessary. Whether you’re experiencing implant complications, seeking a change in size, or looking for a more natural appearance, breast augmentation revision can help restore both your appearance and confidence.
At his plastic surgery practice in Boca Raton, FL, Dr. Giancarlo McEvenue—known as Dr. G—focuses on delivering highly individualized care in a setting that prioritizes patient comfort and safety. That becomes more important than ever when it comes to breast augmentation revision, a procedure he specializes in.
When Is Breast Augmentation Revision Needed?
There are several reasons that women may seek breast augmentation revision:
- Desire to change implant size, shape, or type – Over time, preferences can change. Some patients decide they’d like larger implants for more volume, while others prefer to downsize for a more natural look. Switching to a different implant style or material can also help align your results with your current goals.
- Capsular contracture or hardened scar tissue around the implant – This is one of the most common medical reasons for revision. When scar tissue forms tightly around the implant, it can create hardness, discomfort, and visible distortion of the breast shape. Surgery can release or remove this scar tissue, restoring a softer, more natural appearance.
- Implant rupture or leakage – Although modern implants are very safe, ruptures or leaks may still occur over time. Saline ruptures are usually noticeable as the implant deflates, while silicone ruptures can be harder to detect without imaging. Revision surgery involves removing the damaged implant and replacing it with a new one.
- Implant malposition, such as shifting or asymmetry – Implants can occasionally shift or become asymmetrical due to aging tissue, trauma, or inadequate support. This can cause breasts to look uneven or sit unnaturally. Revision surgery repositions the implant and restores symmetry.
- Cosmetic dissatisfaction with the initial results – Not every patient is fully satisfied with the results of their first augmentation. Revision surgery offers an opportunity to refine the shape, size, or profile of the breasts to match your expectations better.
- Desire to update older implants to newer, safer technology – Implant technology has undergone significant improvements over the years. Patients with older implants may opt to replace them with modern options that offer a more natural feel and an improved safety profile.
In some cases, women who had breast augmentation years ago may also notice sagging as their skin naturally loses elasticity. For these patients, combining implant revision with a breast lift can restore youthful contours and better support the new implants. This combination approach can significantly enhance both the appearance and longevity of the results.
Customizing Your Breast Augmentation Revision
Because every woman’s body, history, and surgical goals are different, no two breast revision surgeries are the same. Some cases are straightforward replacements, while others may require more advanced techniques to address scar tissue, reshape the breast pocket, or combine procedures. This is why it is so important to work with a surgeon who specializes in breast revision. Dr. G brings extensive training and experience to each case. He takes the time to understand your concerns and performs a thorough consultation, creating a customized plan that delivers balanced, natural-looking, and lasting results.
