What Is Breast Revision Surgery?

Improving or correcting the outcome of a previous breast surgery.

Revision surgery may address implant-related concerns, cosmetic dissatisfaction, or anatomical changes that develop over time after a previous augmentation or reconstruction. Common reasons include capsular contracture, implant rupture, implant rippling, and unsatisfactory breast shape. Because every revision is different, the plan begins with medical history review, implant assessment, physical examination, and breast imaging when indicated.

When Is Breast Revision Considered?

Reasons patients return for a second surgery.

Complications After Surgery

Complications experienced after a primary breast procedure.

Size or Shape Dissatisfaction

Dissatisfaction with the resulting breast size or shape.

Implant Malposition

The implant sits in a position that affects appearance or symmetry.

Capsular Contracture

Scar tissue around the implant tightens, making the breast feel firm and altering its shape.

Suspected Implant Rupture

If an implant is damaged, replacement or removal may be recommended after clinical evaluation and imaging.

Implant Rippling

Visible or palpable implant folds may occur, particularly in patients with thin soft tissue coverage.

Change of Size or Type

Some patients wish to change implant size or type over time.

Unsatisfactory Shape

Revision can address asymmetry, implant position, contour irregularities, or aesthetic concerns depending on the underlying cause.

Common Reasons for Revision

Different problems require different corrections.

What it isHow it may be addressed
Capsular contractureScar tissue around the implant tightens, making the breast feel firm and altering its shapePlanned individually after clinical evaluation of the capsule and breast
Implant ruptureThe implant is damagedReplacement or removal may be recommended after clinical evaluation and imaging
Implant ripplingVisible or palpable implant foldsParticularly relevant with thin soft tissue coverage; addressed based on the underlying cause
Unsatisfactory shapeAsymmetry, implant position, or contour irregularitiesRevision can address these depending on the underlying cause

Revision surgery is highly individualized. The appropriate approach depends on the cause, your anatomy, the existing implant, and the condition of the surrounding tissue.

Treatment Planning

Every revision begins with assessment.

Medical History Review

Your previous surgery, materials used, and how the concern developed.

Implant Assessment

Evaluation of the existing implant and its condition.

Physical Examination

Assessment of breast shape, position, soft tissue coverage, and symmetry.

Breast Imaging

Imaging, including ultrasound, when clinically indicated.

Discussion of Goals

What you want corrected and what is realistically achievable.

Personalized Planning

A surgical plan built for your specific cause and anatomy.

Is Revision Right for You?

Candidates are evaluated individually.

You may consider revision if you

  • Experienced complications after primary breast surgery
  • Are dissatisfied with breast size or shape
  • Have implant malposition
  • Developed capsular contracture
  • Suspect implant rupture
  • Experience implant rippling
  • Wish to change implant size or type

A consultation determines your plan

  • The correction depends entirely on the underlying cause
  • Imaging may be required before a plan can be made
  • Revision complexity varies — exchange, removal, or additional procedures
  • Some concerns can be improved but not completely eliminated

A consultation, examination, and — when indicated — imaging are required to determine the available options.

About Your Surgeon

Revision is not simply repeating the first operation.

The task is to identify why the previous result fell short — then plan a correction around that cause, the implant, and the tissue that is actually there.

Frequently Asked

Breast Revision in Busan
— your questions, answered.

When is breast revision necessary?
Revision may be appropriate for patients who experience complications after primary breast surgery, are dissatisfied with size or shape, have implant malposition, develop capsular contracture, suspect implant rupture, experience rippling, or wish to change implant size or type.
Can old implants be replaced?
Yes. Depending on the clinical evaluation, implants may be exchanged or removed. If an implant is damaged, replacement or removal may be recommended after clinical evaluation and imaging.
What causes capsular contracture?
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant tightens, making the breast feel firm and altering its shape. The appropriate management is planned individually after clinical evaluation.
What is implant rippling?
Rippling refers to visible or palpable implant folds. It may occur particularly in patients with thin soft tissue coverage.
How long is recovery after revision surgery?
Recovery depends on the complexity of the revision and whether implants are exchanged, removed, or additional procedures are performed. Your surgeon provides an individualized timeline.
How is implant rupture diagnosed?
Suspected rupture is assessed through clinical evaluation and imaging. Newline's breast imaging and assessment system includes ultrasound evaluation before revision planning.
What happens during revision planning?
Every revision begins with a medical history review, implant assessment, physical examination, breast imaging when indicated, a discussion of treatment goals, and personalized surgical planning.
Can revision correct breast asymmetry?
Revision surgery can address asymmetry, implant position, contour irregularities, or aesthetic concerns depending on the underlying cause. What can be achieved depends on your anatomy and existing tissue.
Do I need imaging before revision surgery?
Breast imaging is performed when clinically indicated. It helps identify the underlying cause so the correction can be planned appropriately rather than assumed.
