Breast implants are not a one-size-fits-all forever. Over time, aesthetic preferences change, implants may need replacement, or complications may arise. A breast implant revision procedure corrects these concerns, allowing you to refine, restore, or enhance your results for a look that aligns with your current goals.
Dr. Sabine Lovell specializes in complex breast revisions, ensuring natural, elegant results that complement your body’s proportions. Whether you’re seeking aesthetic refinement, improved comfort, or implant removal, Dr. Lovell’s expertise in breast revision surgery ensures a precise, personalized approach that prioritizes both your beauty and well-being.
Breast implant revision is a corrective or enhancement procedure designed to improve the results of a previous breast augmentation. It may involve:
Breast implant revision requires specialized surgical expertise to work with existing scar tissue, maintain breast integrity, and ensure optimal long-term results. Dr. Sabine Lovell is a double board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in complex revision procedures.
Every revision procedure is fully customized to address your specific concerns and desired outcome.
Consultation & Customization – Dr. Lovell will learn about your overall goals and assess the condition of your current implants to create a surgical plan tailored to you.
Anesthesia & Incision Placement – Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, often using existing incisions to minimize scarring.
Implant Removal, Replacement, or Adjustment – Depending on your needs, implants may be removed, replaced, repositioned, or adjusted, with careful attention to symmetry and natural shape. Any complications like capsular contracture or leakage from a ruptured implant are thoroughly addressed to restore the integrity of your breasts and ensure an optimal surgical outcome. Dr. Lovell will discuss the potential benefits and risks of having an internal breast scaffold (“mesh”) placed at the time of your revision surgery.
Additional Enhancements (if needed) – Some women benefit from having a breast lift performed during revision surgery to restore their breasts’ perkiness and improve nipple position.
Closure – Dr. Lovell ensures precise closure of incisions for smooth healing.
A breast implant revision is ideal for women who:
Over time, your preferences or body shape may change—a revision allows you to achieve the look that feels right for you now.
If you’re experiencing discomfort, implant shifting, or hardening, a revision also restores comfort and symmetry. Today’s implants offer improved durability, enhanced shapes, and a more natural feel compared to older models. Whether refining or removing your implants, the goal is a beautiful, balanced outcome that aligns with your vision of confidence.
Breast implant revision is a highly personalized procedure designed to address changes in aesthetic preferences, comfort, or implant condition over time. You may be a good candidate if you:
During your consultation, Dr. Lovell will evaluate your breast structure, discuss your concerns, and create a customized plan that aligns with your goals. Whether you’re seeking aesthetic refinement, increased comfort, or a completely natural breast appearance, Dr. Lovell’s expertise ensures your revision is performed with precision, artistry, and longevity in mind.
Most patients are able to resume light activities within a week of their surgery. Swelling and soreness are most noticeable in the first few days, but discomfort is well-managed with prescribed medications.
Most women feel comfortable returning to work or daily routines within 7-10 days, though more strenuous activities, including exercise, should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing. Over the next 3-6 months, the breasts and implants (if replaced) will gradually settle into their final shape and size. . . Dr. Lovell provides personalized post-operative care and long-term follow-ups to ensure optimal healing and satisfaction with your results.
Results from breast implant revision are immediately noticeable, but it’s important to understand that final outcomes take time to develop. Initially, swelling may obscure the final breast shape, and implants (if replaced) may sit slightly higher on the chest before gradually settling into place over the next 3-6 months.
As healing progresses, the breasts will soften, reshape, and take on a more natural position, revealing a balanced, proportionate result. Whether your goal is refinement, correction of a specific problem, or implant removal, Dr. Lovell’s expert approach ensures natural-looking, beautifully contoured breasts that complement your body and aesthetic vision. With proper aftercare and a healthy lifestyle, your results will be long-lasting, enhancing both your confidence and comfort.
