Common reasons include capsular contracture, implant rupture or deflation, implant malposition (“bottoming out,” lateral shift, high-riding), rippling, animation deformity, asymmetry, or a change in size goals.
Options include implant exchange or removal, capsulectomy/capsulotomy, pocket repair or change of plane (e.g., to dual-plane/subpectoral), fat grafting for contour, and/or a breast lift for shape and nipple position.
Revision often has higher complexity due to scar tissue and altered anatomy. We mitigate risk with careful planning, precise technique and staged approaches where appropriate. We explain risks and alternatives in consent.
Sometimes. Ultrasound or MRI may be recommended to assess implant integrity, fluid collections or capsule. We order imaging when it will change the plan.
Most desk workers return in 7–14 days, depending on the procedure. Support bra ~6 weeks; avoid chest strain ~6 weeks or as advised. We provide written aftercare and scheduled reviews.
