Common revision problems
Breast revision may follow augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction, explantation, or prior corrective surgery.
- Implant malposition or recurrent displacement
- Capsular contracture or discomfort
- Asymmetry or shape change
- Thin tissues, rippling, or contour problems
- Scar and nipple-position concerns
- Revision after prior reconstruction
The tissue envelope matters
Repeated operations can thin or stretch tissues. A revision plan has to account for the quality of the remaining soft-tissue support rather than treating implant choice as the entire problem.
Long-term planning
A useful revision discussion includes what can realistically be improved now and what may continue to change with tissue aging, weight change, pregnancy, implants, or further surgery.
