What Is A Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast revision is a surgical procedure designed to improve or correct the results of a previous breast surgery, such as breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. Patients may seek breast revision to address implant complications, update implant size or type, refine breast shape, or adapt to changes in their body or aesthetic preferences over time. At Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, our experienced plastic surgeons provide personalized breast revision procedures tailored to your needs, ensuring safe, natural-looking, and satisfying results. Contact any of our offices in Fayetteville, Newnan, or Stockbridge, GA today to schedule a consultation and explore your options for breast revision surgery.
How Is Breast Revision Performed?
Breast revision surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, with the surgical plan customized to address each patient’s unique needs. Depending on the goals of surgery, the procedure may involve removing and replacing breast implants with a different size, shape, or type, repositioning implants for improved symmetry, or correcting complications such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or implant shifting. In some cases, scar tissue is removed to restore softness, or a breast lift is combined with revision to improve firmness and contour. The surgeon makes careful incisions, often using the same incision sites as the original surgery when possible, to minimize additional scarring. Surgery typically lasts 1 – 3 hours, and most patients are able to return home the same day to begin recovery.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Revision?
Breast revision offers both corrective and cosmetic benefits, helping patients achieve results that better align with their comfort and aesthetic goals. Benefits include:
- Restores or improves breast symmetry and balance
- Updates implant size, shape, or type to match current preferences
- Corrects complications such as capsular contracture or implant rupture
- Repositions implants for a more natural look and feel
- Enhances breast contour and overall appearance
- Can be combined with a breast lift for added firmness and youthfulness
- Boosts self-confidence and long-term satisfaction with results
Breast Revision Reviews
I was diagnosed with breast cancer March 18, 2021. Had a double mastectomy with immediate breast implants by Dr. Gronka, October 7. 2001 and my breast revision this past October 3, 2002. I am truly satisfied with the outcome. Just had my follow-up appointment today 10/11/22. Dr. Gronka and his staff are the greatest!!! Hope I never have to recommend anyone (speaking on cancer). However, I definitely will

Bottoming Out
This is a condition that may happen if one or both breasts "bottom out" or drop too low. Sometimes this is a positioning and placement error from the original surgery. To modify this, a different placement approach may be recommended. For some patients, tissue grafting will be needed, as well as a surgically created pocket to fit the new implant. For most women, going to a silicone implant usually will solve this problem.
