Breast implants can look and feel right for many years, but changes in your body, preferences, or implant condition may eventually lead you to consider another procedure. Beverly Hills, California, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. A.J. Khalil completed fellowship training in aesthetic breast and body contouring, giving patients a knowledgeable resource for understanding breast revision surgery.
Your Goals Have Changed
Some patients consider breast revision because their original implant size, shape, or type no longer matches their preferences. You may want a different look after living with implants for several years, or you may feel that your current result no longer fits your frame or lifestyle.
Breast revision may involve changing implant size, switching implant type, adjusting the implant pocket, or making other refinements based on your anatomy and concerns. The plan is different for each patient.
Your Body Has Changed
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuation, and aging can affect the way augmented breasts look over time. Skin may stretch, tissue may shift, or the breasts may sit lower on the chest than they once did.
In some cases, Dr. Khalil may recommend combining revision with a breast lift to improve breast position and shape. A lift can be especially helpful when the concern is not only the implant itself, but also sagging breast tissue.
You Have an Implant Concern
Breast revision may also be considered when an implant complication occurs. Dr. Khalil’s breast revision page discusses concerns such as rupture, capsular contracture, implant malposition, rippling, double bubble, and symmastia.
These issues can affect comfort, appearance, or both. A consultation allows Dr. Khalil to examine the breasts, review your prior surgical history, and explain which options may be appropriate.
You Want a More Informed Plan
Revision surgery is often more complex than first-time breast augmentation because scar tissue, implant position, and skin changes may all need to be considered. Choosing a surgeon with breast surgery experience is an important part of planning.
