Breast augmentation isn’t always a simple, once-and-done procedure, and you may need revision to correct asymmetry, misalignment, sagging, or other medical complications.  

Breast implant revision procedures

• Implant exchange: You may want new implants to replace older, damaged implants, or to change your breast size or shape.                    
• Capsular contracture surgery: Capsular contracture occurs when the natural scar tissue surrounding your implant (the capsule) grows too thick and squeezes your implants too hard. Capsulectomy surgery removes this capsule so a new healthy one can form. Capsulotomy is a similar procedure, but the capsule is left in place and just scored to relieve pressure.                   
• Pocket change: Your implants can be placed in pockets above or below your chest muscles, and you may want this placement altered for a different look and feel, or to correct implant placement or rippling issues. •                    
• Mastopexy: Known as breast lift surgery, mastopexy removes excess breast tissue and raises your nipples and areolas to counteract natural sagging.
• Areola reduction: Your areolas may become larger, usually due to pregnancy or age, but this can be corrected by trimming excess skin from the outer edge of your areolas.
• Synmastia repair: The pockets that your implants rest in may become too close, pushing your implants close together. Your surgeon can repair these pockets for a more pleasing look.
