Benefits of Breast Implant Revision

Breast implant revision (removal or replacement) can have many benefits, the most important of which is relief of the physical symptoms caused by complications from primary breast augmentation. Breast implant revision can also improve the appearance of breasts if the original implants were wrinkling, folding or incorrectly positioned.

Breast Implant Removal or Replacement: Common Benefits

The most common benefits of breast implant revision, whether a patient chooses implant removal or replacement, include an enhanced cosmetic appearance to the breasts and improved physical comfort due to relief from complications like capsular contracture and improper breast implant positioning.

Relief from Previous Implant Complications

Breast implant revision is most often performed to relieve previous implant complications. These complications include:

• capsular contracture (excessive scar tissue development which can place pressure on the implant)
• Improper implant positioning
• Implant rupture or leakage
• Wrinkling of the implant beneath the skin
• Folding of the implant
• Unnatural appearance

Some women may choose to undergo breast implant removal while others may choose breast implant replacement surgery, depending on their individual needs.

Complications from a previous breast implant procedure can cause physical discomfort and pain. B reast implant revision surgery can relieve many of the physical problems caused by a previous breast augmentation, and can help a woman get back to her normal routine.

More Satisfactory Cosmetic Appearance

Along with the physical problems caused by previous implant complications, the cosmetic appearance of the breasts may also be affected. Improper positioning of the breast implants or implant displacement can cause breasts to appear unbalanced, off-center, wrinkled, indented, or otherwise deformed.

Breast implant revision can improve the cosmetic appearance of the breasts by removing scar tissue or repositioning the implant. Breast implant replacement can improve cosmetic appearance by replacing a deflated implant, or by replacing the previous implant with a larger or smaller size, shape, or texture.

Enhanced Self-Esteem and Confidence

When a woman undergoes breast augmentation surgery to improve her appearance, implant complications that result in breast deformity can be devastating. Breast implant revision, either by the removal or replacement of implants, can have immediate benefits for the cosmetic appearance of a woman’s breasts. Resolving aesthetic flaws can have a positive effect on a patient's self-esteem and confidence. Breast implant revision can turn a negative augmentation experience into a positive one.
