Refining, Correcting & Enhancing Previous Breast Surgery

Breast Implant Revision (Breast Re-Do): Restoring Confidence & Harmony

For women who have previously undergone breast augmentation, changes in implant integrity, breast tissue, or aesthetic preferences may lead them to seek revisional breast surgery. Whether due to implant deflation, malposition, capsular contracture, or a desire for a different size or type of implant, Dr. Gregory LaTrenta specializes in highly customized breast implant revision procedures, delivering results that are both natural and beautifully refined.

Addressing Changes & Refining Results

What is a Breast Implant Revision?

Breast revision surgery, often referred to as Breast Re-Do, is a specialized procedure designed to correct, replace, or enhance previous breast augmentation results. Women seek breast revision for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Implant Deflation or Rupture – Replacing a saline or silicone implant that has lost integrity
  • Desire to Change Implant Size or Type – Switching to a different volume, shape, or material
  • Capsular Contracture – Correcting hardened scar tissue around the implant
  • Implant Malposition – Adjusting implants that have shifted out of place
  • Double-Bubble Deformity – Correcting implant placement issues for a smoother contour
  • Natural Changes in the Breast – Addressing changes caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging

The Procedure: Restoring Proportion & Elegance

Breast implant revision is a highly individualized procedure that depends on the patient’s concerns, anatomy, and aesthetic goals. Dr. LaTrenta carefully assesses each case to develop a surgical approach that delivers optimal, natural-looking results.

Surgical Techniques & Correction Metods

  • Incision Placement – Usually made under the breast crease (inframammary incision) for optimal access.
  • Removal & Replacement of Implants – Old implants are removed, and new implants are placed with meticulous precision.
  • Pocket Modification – The existing implant pocket is either reconstructed, adjusted, or repositioned under the muscle for better support.
  • Internal or External Breast Lift – In many cases, a breast lift (mastopexy) is required to reshape and elevate the breast for a more youthful contour.
  • Scar Tissue Management – If capsular contracture is present, scar tissue is carefully removed to restore a soft, natural feel.

Every step is taken to enhance symmetry, softness, and the longevity of results, ensuring the best possible aesthetic outcome.

Who is the Best Candidate for Breast Implant Revision?

You may be a good candidate for breast revision surgery if:

You need to replace a previous breast implant due to rupture, deflation, or dissatisfaction

Your implants have shifted or no longer sit in a natural position

You are experiencing discomfort, hardness, or tightness from capsular contracture

You feel your breast shape or size no longer meets your aesthetic goals

Pregnancy, weight loss, or aging have altered your breast contour

You are a non-smoker (This is mandatory for optimal healing and results.)

Recovery & Aftercare: A Smooth, Comfortable Healing Process

Recovery from breast revision surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure and the extent of correction required. Most patients experience a relatively smooth recovery with proper post-operative care.

  • Return to Work – Most patients can return to light activities and work within a few days to a week.
  • Restricted Activity – Vigorous activities, especially those involving arm movement, should be limited for 2-3 weeks.
  • Support Garment – A surgical support bra must be worn for 2-3 months to aid in healing and maintain breast shape.
  • Final Results – Swelling decreases gradually, with final breast shape settling within 3-6 months.

Dr. LaTrenta provides a personalized follow-up plan to ensure optimal healing and beautiful results.
