What Are the Most Common Reasons for Breast Implant Revision?

• Capsular contracture: scar tissue hardens around the implant.
• Implant rupture or deflation: age-related failure of saline or silicone implants.
• Implant malposition: shifting/rotation causing asymmetry, bottoming-out, or double-bubble.
• Rippling or wrinkling: especially noticeable with thin soft-tissue coverage.
• Desire to change size, shape, or type: lifestyle or aesthetic goals evolve.
• Unsatisfactory prior results: contour, symmetry, or scar concerns.

Note: Some concerns overlap and may require a combination approach for best results.

What Types of Breast Implant Revision Surgeries Are Available?

1. Implant replacement: remove and replace with new size/profile/type to address rupture, discomfort, or updated goals.
2. Capsulectomy or capsulotomy: remove or release the tight capsule in capsular contracture.
3. Internal bra technique: reinforce support using mesh or strong sutures to correct displacement/bottoming-out.
4. Breast lift with revision (mastopexy): reshape and elevate tissue when ptosis coexists with implant concerns.
5. Implant removal (explantation): remove implants; may pair with lift or fat grafting for a natural silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. How long do implants last before needing revision?

Ans. Many last 10–15 years, but revision may be needed sooner for complications or evolving goals.

Q2. Can a breast lift be performed with implant revision?

Ans. Yes. Combining a lift with revision often produces the best contour and nipple position.

Q3. What is the average cost in Mumbai?

Ans. Typically ₹1.5–₹2.5 lakhs, depending on complexity and implant choice. You’ll receive a detailed estimate after evaluation.

Q4. Is revision surgery riskier than first-time augmentation?

Ans. It’s usually more complex due to scar tissue and altered anatomy—another reason to choose an experienced revision surgeon.
