The Surgery of Breast Implant Revision

Breast implant revision can be divided into a number of different surgeries, each of which will be different from each other. Following we will explain each one:

• Increasing Breast Size – This surgery will be selected when the patient feels that her breast is small and requires bigger breast size, therefore, larger prostheses will be used.
• Breast Size Reduction – This surgery is suitable for patients who want to reduce their breast size, but are not willing to remove their breast implants.
• Breast implant revisions for medical or beauty reasons – Some patients do not want to change the size of their breast prostheses, but they need a surgical revision of the breast prosthesis. For example, the prosthesis may have leakage or withdrawal; it is also possible that a patient wants to separate the extra flesh around his breast prosthesis.

Breast implant revision surgery is performed under anesthesia and lasts from 1 to 2 hours.
