Who Is a Candidate for Breast Revision?
Patients typically come in for breast revision when a previous augmentation or reconstruction procedure has failed, or developed complications. Some of the most common instances in which patients seek out breast revision include:
- Implant-based breast augmentation complications, such as implant migration, rippling, capsular contracture, and other issues.
- Complications like tissue expander extrusion or loss of expander due to skin breakdown or infection.
- Asymmetry that has developed between the breasts over time.
- An autologous breast reconstruction procedure has resulted in fat necrosis or total flap failure.

Recovery time varies but typically involves some discomfort, swelling, and bruising initially. You'll need to avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, depending on individual healing.
