Refining Breast Aesthetics with
Personalised Care
Breast implants can significantly enhance your appearance, but personal preferences and circumstances may evolve over time. Breast implant revision surgery provides a customised approach to refine breast shape, replace implants, or address concerns such as implant complications or changes in breast tissue.
This versatile surgical procedure offers solutions to enhance comfort, resolve medical issues and align your results with your current goals. By revisiting your breast surgery journey, implant revision ensures your outcomes meet your lifestyle and aesthetic aspirations.
What Is Breast Implant Revision?
Breast implant revision, also known as breast augmentation revision surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting, replacing, or improving the results of a previous breast augmentation.
This may involve the removal and replacement of old breast implants, adjusting the position or size, resolving complications such as capsular contracture or implant rupture, or combining the surgery with a breast lift to restore breast shape and symmetry. Each procedure is designed to meet individual needs, ensuring a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result.
Reasons for
Breast Implant Revision Surgery
Individuals may choose implant revision surgery for several reasons, such as:
- Capsular contracture: Resolving hardening of scar tissue around the implant that may cause discomfort or distortion.
- Implant rupture: Replacing damaged implants to restore a balanced breast shape.
- Aesthetic changes: Adjusting size, type, or placement of implants to meet evolving preferences.
- Health concerns: Addressing complications or discomfort from old breast implants.
- Maintenance or upgrades: Replacing older implants with newer, more advanced options.
Benefits of Breast Implant Revision
Breast implant revision surgery can provide:
- Relief from discomfort, including breast pain or tightness.
- Restoration of symmetry or natural breast shape.
- An opportunity to upgrade to new implants for improved durability and appearance.
- Resolution of complications such as implant rupture or capsular contracture.

The Breast Implant Revision Procedure
Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Rizk. This session focuses on understanding your concerns, medical history and goals. Whether addressing complications like capsular contracture or planning for new implants, Dr Rizk will guide you through the options and recommend a personalised approach.
Procedure
Breast implant revision surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Depending on your needs, the surgery may involve removing old implants, resolving scar tissue, or replacing implants with a new type or size. Adjustments are made to ensure a balanced, natural result that aligns with your preferences.
Results
After surgery, your breast shape will reflect the adjustments made during the procedure. While results are visible immediately, they will continue to settle over time, providing a refined and natural appearance.
Recovery
Recovery typically involves some mild discomfort, which is managed with prescribed medication. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, while strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks. Following post-operative care instructions, such as wearing support garments and attending follow-up appointments, is essential for smooth healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between breast implant revision and breast implant removal?
Breast implant revision focuses on replacing or adjusting implants to refine results, while breast implant removal involves taking out implants entirely without replacement. Both are common procedures in plastic surgery and address individual needs such as aesthetic changes or health concerns.
Can revision breast surgery address health concerns like breast cancer risks?
While revision breast surgery is not a treatment for breast cancer, it can involve replacing implants with safer options or removing them entirely to address health-related concerns. Your surgeon will discuss any specific risks or recommendations during your consultation.
Are silicone implants used in breast implant revision surgery?
Yes, silicone implants are a popular choice for breast implant revision due to their natural look and feel. During the procedure, your surgeon may recommend replacing old implants with modern silicone options for optimal results.
Does breast augmentation surgery always require revision in the future?
Not always. However, some individuals may opt for revision due to changes in personal preferences, implant complications, or the natural ageing process. Regular follow-ups after breast augmentation surgery can help monitor the condition of your implants.
When should I consider breast implant removal instead of revision?
Breast implant removal may be a better option if you no longer wish to have implants or if health concerns outweigh the benefits of keeping them. Your surgeon will help you decide based on your goals and medical history.
