What Is Breast Implant Revision?

Breast revision surgery, also known as breast implant revision or corrective breast surgery, is a procedure performed to correct previous breast augmentation surgery. Typically, it is performed to fix a complication, replace breast implants, or improve the overall aesthetic result.

For Dr. Subbio’s patients in Philadelphia, breast implant revision can improve breast shape, remove scar tissue, re-lift the breast, and improve breast size and overall body proportions. Breast revision has also been used to swap out breast implants for a more desired type or for fat transfer breast enhancement, rather than implants.

Dr. Subbio has an artistic eye and the gifted hands to deliver truly stunning and artistic results for primary breast augmentation surgery and a breast implant revision. He can repair the results of previous surgery and help you eliminate feelings of regret when you look at yourself in the mirror.

How Do I Know If I Need Breast Implant Revision?

If you have had a poor result from a previous breast augmentation or need to replace breast implants, you might wish to have a breast implant revision.

Sometimes, breast implant revision is needed after a capsular contracture, a complication from breast augmentation in which scar tissue forms around the breast implants. In other cases, a woman might wish to change the size or type of her implants.

Breast Revision First Step

What’s the First Step?

To get started on your breast implant revision journey in Philadelphia, PA, you will sit down with Dr. Subbio and his team for a private consultation. This first visit will entail a thorough medical review, a physical assessment, and a candid discussion addressing all your questions and concerns. Dr. Subbio will review the risks, benefits, costs, downtime, and potential outcomes associated with breast revision, ensuring your expectations are both positive and realistic.

Once your treatment date has been scheduled, we will provide you with a few guidelines on how to prepare best. If you smoke, you will be asked to quit at least 4-6 weeks prior to your surgery. You may also need to stop taking certain medications that could increase the risks of bleeding, bruising, and swelling. Finally, you should fill prescriptions early and schedule a responsible adult to drive you home after surgery.

Breast Implant Revision Procedure

The surgery is highly customized depending upon the issues you face and the corrections you need. Dr. Subbio will discuss his surgical plan with you before your surgery. His goal is always to give you a beautiful result with minimal scarring. The surgery time varies depending on your particular case.

Breast implant revision can usually be performed using only local anesthesia and sedation. While you won’t be fully asleep, you’ll be very relaxed, and you won’t feel any pain. You’ll be groggy afterward, though, so please bring someone along to make sure you get home safely.

All surgeries involve some discomfort after the anesthesia wears off. Most of our Philadelphia breast implant revision patients find that the discomfort is less than they expected, and we’ll give you pain medication to help you get through your recovery as easily as possible. During your recovery, you can text or call Dr. Subbio at any time if you have questions.

Recovery From Breast Implant Revision

You can expect some swelling, bruising, itching, tenderness, and a feeling of tightness for approximately one to two weeks.

Sutures will either dissolve on their own, or we’ll remove them about a week after your surgery. Breast Implant Revision is usually an outpatient procedure, so after a short period of recovery time, you can go home the same day.

You will wear a special support bra and sleep on your back for about 4 weeks. We ask that you refrain from strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks. Most of our Philadelphia Breast Implant Revision patients go back to work within a week, but it will depend on the extent of your particular surgery.

A Note On Textured Implants

Following the July 2019 recall on designated types of textured breast implants due to a link to certain forms of cancer, Dr. Subbio has received questions from several of his clients about undergoing breast implant revision to remove textured implants.

Dr. Subbio trusts his patients. If you have weighed the risks of cancer versus the risks of surgery and determined that textured implant breast revision is the right path for you, Dr. Subbio will remove your textured implants safely and restore your breasts in a manner that makes you feel comfortable.

There are many options for breast implant revision, including complete removal without replacement of the textured implant, or removal and replacement with silicone or saline implants. Additionally, another option is removal and replacement with fat grafting. Dr. Subbio will discuss each option with you, allowing you to work together to determine the best path forward.

Nobody should have to live with a procedure that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Dr. Subbio can help you restore your body to a form that is beautiful, and that makes you feel better about your overall health.
