Your breasts can change over time, your implants may have ruptured, or they might have shifted position, leading to undesired changes in your appearance. The good news is you do not have to live with those changes.
What is a Breast Implant Revision?
The goal of breast implant revision surgery is to improve or change the appearance of the breasts. This often includes replacing your existing breast implants with new implants of the same or different size.
This procedure can also include a breast lift or reduction or reshaping the breast implant pocket to better reposition the existing implants.
After breast augmentation, many women decide they should have gone bigger or smaller with their implants. Breast implant revision can give you the breast shape and size you really want.Common Reasons for a Breast Implant Revision
