Breast revision surgery is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast procedure. Whether addressing a complication or updating an earlier result, revision surgery offers patients the opportunity to restore comfort, symmetry, and confidence. Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides breast revision to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.
Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around an implant tightens, causing firmness, distortion, or discomfort. It is one of the most common reasons patients seek breast revision surgery.
Implant Rupture or Deflation
Saline implant deflation and silicone implant rupture may require surgical correction. Revision surgery allows implants to be removed or replaced as needed.
Implant Malposition
Implants can shift over time, leading to asymmetry, bottoming out, or implants sitting too high. Revision surgery corrects implant position and restores balance.
Desire to Change Implant Size or Type
Some patients simply want a different look. Revision surgery allows for changes in implant size, shape, or material as preferences evolve.
Changes Due to Aging, Pregnancy, or Weight Loss
Even successful augmentations can change over time due to natural aging or life events. Revision surgery can restore breast shape and proportion.
What to Expect From Revision Surgery
Revision procedures are more complex than primary surgery and require careful planning. Recovery may be similar to or slightly longer than initial augmentation, depending on the extent of correction.
