Breast augmentation is a dream come true for many women who are dissatisfied with the shape and size of their breasts. Luckily, most women who undergo the surgery are pleased with their final results. However, not all breast augmentation procedures have a happy ending. A small percentage of women who undergo the procedure will be dissatisfied with their results or have complications in the years following.
The goal of revision breast surgery is complicated when you are not satisfied with the results of mammoplasty such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast ptosis correction, and breast reconstruction or suffer from complications.
It requires more skills and expertise than other mammoplasty. It should be performed by specialists with extensive experience. Therefore, this surgery should be performed by specialists with extensive experience.

+ We recommend revision breast surgery to the following people
+ Breasts are stiff due to capsular contracture
+ Implants are damaged or transformed
+ Asymmetrical breasts after an operation
+ Those who experience inflammation after an operation
+ Those who are not satisfied with their breast shape or size after an operation.
1. Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture develops when internal scar tissue forms a tight or constricting capsule around a breast implant, contracting it until it becomes misshapen, hard, and painful. It can be caused by things such as excess bleeding, infection, or lack of post-operative implant massages.
Revision Breast Surgery is operated when the inside area has become hard to the point where the implant is visible from outside. Existing implant is removed or changed to a different kind, or the position of the implant is relocated.
2. Asymmetrical Breasts
Breast size is changed on both sides after having a breast augmentation surgery. It is the case where space for the implant is not right, the implant moved, or an incomplete incision caused dislocation.
After a thorough examination, fat graft or implant replacement that is suitable for each individual is selected to operate a revision surgery.
3. Not satisfied with the size or shape
It is done when you are not satisfied with the shape or size of the breasts after the surgery. When the upper are is bulging, or if you want to change the size bigger or smaller, a revision surgery is operated.
Existing implant is removed, size or shape is changed, or the implant is moved to a new position for correcting the shape.
4. Ruptured implant
Implant is ruptured and the content of the silicon bag has come out, reducing the volume.
If the implant consists of saline solution, it gets absorbed in the body, which is not a problem. If it is a silicon implant, thorough cleansing is done to remove silicon, and a different type of implant is inserted for a revision surgery.
