A Second Chance for Confidence with Breast Revision Surgery

If you could do it all over again, would you? When it comes to breast surgery, sometimes the answer is a resounding yes! If you have concerns about your previous surgery or simply feel you would be happier with some changes, it might be time to consider a “do over,” otherwise known as a breast revision surgery.

What is Breast Revision?

Breast revision surgery is a specialized procedure focused on correcting or altering the results of a previous breast surgery, such as an augmentation or lift. This surgery is often necessary when a patient is dissatisfied with the aesthetic outcome or has developed complications like implant rupture, malposition, or the formation of tight scar tissue, known as capsular contracture.

To achieve a successful correction, breast revision may involve removing existing implants, replacing them with a different size or type, or repositioning the implants or surrounding breast tissue. By using these precise techniques, the surgeon’s goal is to resolve complex issues, improve breast shape and symmetry, and ultimately restore the patient’s comfort and confidence.

What Common Issues Can Breast Revision Address?

Breast revision surgery in Fort Lauderdale is a highly versatile procedure specifically designed to address and correct a variety of complex aesthetic and medical concerns that may arise after a previous breast augmentation, lift, or reduction. These common issues include:

  • Unsatisfactory aesthetic results from a previous augmentation, such as asymmetry or an undesirable shape.
  • Implant-related issues like bottoming out (where implants settle too low) or symmastia (where implants migrate too close together).
  • Capsular contracture, which is the painful formation of tight scar tissue around the implant that causes discomfort and distortion.
  • Double bubble deformity, an unnatural crease or bulge beneath the breast.
  • Changes to breast tissue following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight fluctuation.

Breast Revision Solutions

Breast revisions are done for various reasons, including changes that occur in breast tissue after childbirth or during breastfeeding, changes that occur with implants causing an altered appearance, or worse, pain and health risks—and sometimes, it’s just a simple change of mind. No matter what the reason you are not happy, a breast revision surgery in Fort Lauderdale with Dr. Learn can ease your discomfort and your mind. Dr. Learn has helped women dealing with the following conditions as well as others:

Breast Augmentation Revision

This involves revising a previous breast augmentation procedure. Dr. Learn will assess the existing implants, address any concerns or issues, and may recommend implant exchange, size adjustment, or correction of any complications according to your wishes for your appearance.

Bottoming Out Implant

When breast implants settle too low on the chest, creating a "bottomed-out" appearance, Dr. Learn may perform revision surgery to reposition the implants higher on the chest wall, correct sagging, and provide additional support.

Double Bubble Correction

Dr. Learn will address the "double bubble" effect, which occurs when there is an unnatural crease or bulge beneath the breast due to implant malposition or tissue constraints. Correction may involve releasing tissue, repositioning the implant, and achieving a smoother breast contour.

Removal of Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture is the formation of tight scar tissue around breast implants, leading to discomfort and distortion. Dr. Learn will perform a capsulectomy to remove the scar tissue and may replace or reposition the implants to improve breast appearance and comfort.

Symmastia Repair

Symmastia involves implants moving too close together in the center of the chest. Dr. Learn will create separate implant pockets, use internal sutures or acellular dermal matrix to restore proper spacing and achieve a natural-looking cleavage while addressing symmastia.

The Consultation Step Is Key

You can rest assured that as a woman, Dr. Lisa J. Learn understands just how you feel. That’s why we take the time to talk prior to undergoing breast surgery.

We want to hear your questions and concerns and will provide all the information you need to feel at ease with your decision. Let us know what you like and don’t like, what your desires and expectations are, and most importantly, how you feel. It is also helpful if you can provide details about your implants and previous surgery.

Breast Revision Recovery

A successful recovery is key to achieving optimal, long-lasting breast revision results. Initially, your breasts will feel sore and somewhat hardened due to internal swelling, but these symptoms subside gradually over the following weeks.

For safety and the best aesthetic outcome, you must follow all post-operative care instructions closely, keeping arm extensions, heavy lifting, and other strenuous activities to a minimum. While healing varies, most patients begin to feel substantially better, both physically and mentally, within two to four weeks of their procedure.

Patient Testimonial

Dr. Learn did an EXCELLENT job in fixing someone else's terrible work. I had minimal down time, and the results are impeccable. She is a GREAT Doctor and an incredible person. Filled with compassion & artistry. Everyone that sees the results is so happy for me. I wake up now & look in the mirror and I am happy. I thank the universe for leading me to her.

F.V.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Lisa Learn and her amazing team. She is a perfectionist and true professional with the warmest disposition. From the initial consultation to the procedure and follow up, she and her entire staff are first class all the way. I referred a close family member as well who was equally pleased with her experience. There are many doctors closer to my area but after doing research I had a good feeling she was the one I wanted to use, and am so glad I chose her. Initially for an explant, and later for implants and c-section scar revision. I also had zero discomfort with each. A wonderful experience all the way around!

T.P.

I am absolutely thrilled with my results! I needed a revision to correct severe capsular contracture and asymmetry from my first surgery 17 years ago. I was referred to Dr. Learn and after meeting her and her wonderful team, I booked my surgery immediately. I knew I made a great decision when the hospital staff commented that all the doctors go to her for their surgery.Her pricing was extremely affordable and I loved that she was honest about what I did and did not need. She is kind, caring and absolutely meticulous about her work. She is a true artist! I was also surprised that she personally called in the evening to check in on me. I appreciated the extra touch, and felt cared for as a patient. The result is better than I could have imagined. She is a perfectionist!

Breast Revision FAQs

Does breast revision surgery always involve implant replacement?

Will breast revision surgery correct asymmetry resulting from the original procedure?

Will the revision surgery create new scars, or will existing scars be used?

How soon after my original breast surgery can I undergo revision?

What is a capsulectomy, and why is it performed?

Does breast revision surgery always involve implant replacement?

Not always. If the revision is simply for aesthetic changes or tissue adjustment, the existing implants may remain. However, if the issue involves complications like capsular contracture, implant rupture, or bottoming out, the surgeon will likely recommend implant exchange (replacement) or sometimes removal, depending on your goals and the specific problem.

Will breast revision surgery correct asymmetry resulting from the original procedure?

Yes, one of the primary goals of revision surgery is often to improve symmetry. The surgeon will work to achieve a more balanced and harmonious appearance by adjusting tissue, implant placement, or implant size as needed.

Will the revision surgery create new scars, or will existing scars be used?

Whenever possible, incisions are made through the existing scar lines to minimize visible scarring. However, depending on the complexity of the revision and the changes needed, the surgeon may need to extend or create a new incision to achieve the desired result. This will be discussed during your consultation.

How soon after my original breast surgery can I undergo revision?

The timing varies depending on the specific complication. For minor adjustments, a few months might suffice. However, if the revision is complex (like capsular contracture), your surgeon may require you to wait six months to a year after the original surgery to ensure tissues have fully healed and settled.

What is a capsulectomy, and why is it performed?

A capsulectomy is the surgical removal of the scar tissue capsule that has formed around a breast implant. This procedure is performed to treat capsular contracture, which causes the breast to feel hard, look distorted, and often causes discomfort.
