Breast implant revision is a plastic surgery procedure to amend or rectify unwanted outcomes arising from prior breast surgeries, including breast augmentations, reductions, or reconstructions.[1] A single breast augmentation is not meant to last for the rest of a person's life; thus breast revisions are usually necessary at some point in time after initial breast augmentation.[2]
Reasons for breast implant revision[edit]
There are both cosmetic and health reasons to have this surgery done. Some of these reasons can occur because of poor surgery techniques during the initial augmentation, but others are sometime unpreventable with even the best surgical techniques currently available today.
Surgically Preventable Reasons:
- Asymmetry
- Implant malposition
- Aesthetic dissatisfaction
- Immediately after healing is complete, after the initial breast augmentation.[3]
Surgically Unpreventable Reasons:
- Capsular contracture
- Breast Ptosis
- AKA: Breast Aging & Sagging[3]
- Aesthetic dissatisfaction
- Years after initial breast augmentation
- After physical trauma or accident[4]
- Implant Rupture
Breast revision surgery aims to fulfill the patient's desired changes in breast appearance, encompassing adjustments in size, shape, or overall contour. Through meticulous surgical techniques and personalized treatment plans, plastic surgeons can enhance patient satisfaction in this specialized domain of corrective breast surgery.
Health insurance surgery coverage[edit]
If you initially had breast reconstruction due to cancer, health insurance may pay for breast revision surgeries. On average it takes 2 surgeries to achieve initial satisfactory results, of which 40% of patients still have additional elective revision surgeries, which most likely are not covered by insurance.[5]
It is noteworthy that if you had breast augmentation initially done after having a mastectomy or lumpectomy, insurance will pay to have your implants removed if you are now having complications.[6]
