The revision procedure, which takes 1-2 hours in patients with previously implanted implants, is planned individually. The healing process is usually more comfortable than the first operation.
Breast augmentation revision is a correction surgery that aims to eliminate problems such as dissatisfaction, implant slippage, capsular contracture or deformity after a previous breast aesthetic.
Operation Time 1.5 hours
Anaesthesia General
Discharge: Same day
Return to Social Life: 3-5 days
Who is it suitable for?
Patients with impaired implant position, capsular hardening, loss of symmetry or unmet aesthetic expectations are candidates for this procedure. It is also suitable for people who are considering implant replacement over the years.
Implants Used
In revisions, implants different from the previous implant type, more anatomically compatible or new technology implants are generally preferred. Techniques such as dual plan, under the muscle are re-determined specifically for the patient.
Revision may be required for reasons such as loss of form, displacement or change in aesthetic expectations of the breast implants used over time. A more natural, symmetrical and satisfactory result is aimed with the implant replacement planned specifically for each patient’s anatomy and current situation.
The informed consent form is a legally required document signed by the patient prior to any medical procedure.
Please consult your doctor for detailed information. You will be asked to review the consent form carefully before your surgery.
Surgery Planning
Revision surgery begins with removal of the existing implant and necessary capsulectomy. New implant placement is performed by evaluating the breast tissue and skin condition. When necessary, it is combined with lifting procedures.
Healing Process and Scars
The procedure time is between 1.5-2 hours. Usually 1 night hospital stay is recommended. The healing process is completed with return to social life in 7-10 days. New scars are usually made from the previous incision line.
Aesthetic and Safety Balance
In the techniques applied by Dr. Sarper Mete, the long-term comfort of the patient and the protection of breast tissue are as important as the aesthetic result. It is aimed to provide a significant effect without disturbing the naturalness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is revision surgery more difficult than the first operation?
Revision surgery requires more technical planning because the tissues have already been replaced, but is performed safely by experienced surgeons.
Can I get a better result with the new implant?
Yes. New generation implants offer a more natural form and better tissue compatibility. Surgical techniques have also improved.
Is my old implant harmful?
No, but long-term implants can cause capsule development in the surrounding tissue. When replacement is necessary, it is detected and removed in a healthy way.
