What Is Breast Revision Surgery?

Breast revision surgery corrects or improves the outcome of a prior breast implant procedure. This may involve:

Removing and/or replacing breast implants
Correcting complications like capsular contracture or rupture
Improving asymmetry or implant position
Enhancing or restoring the aesthetic shape of the breasts
Smoothing visible implant ripples or scar irregularities

Reasons Women in Tampa Choose Breast Revision

Many women seek revision surgery due to:

Implant-related concerns:

Ruptured implants (saline deflation or silicone rupture)
Capsular contracture – painful scar tissue formation
Rippling/wrinkling visible through the skin
Shifting or implant displacement
Symmastia – implants merging toward the center of the chest
Implants that are simply too old (typically 10–15+ years)

Aesthetic reasons:

Size no longer matches personal goals
Breasts feel unbalanced or asymmetrical
Implants feel uncomfortable or heavy
Scar revision is desired
