Yes, our surgeons often utilize a previous incision site during breast augmentation revision surgery to minimize additional scarring. This is particularly beneficial when the previous incision has healed well and is in an optimal location.

However, there are instances where using the same site might not be feasible or advisable. For example, if the previous incision was associated with complications such as infection or poor healing, or if there have been significant changes in the breast anatomy or surgical plan, a new incision may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.

Additionally, your surgeon may choose a different incision site if it will provide better access or cosmetic results for the revision procedure. The decision to use a previous incision site depends on various factors, including the individual patient’s anatomy and the surgeon’s assessment during the preoperative planning process.

Timing varies depending on individual circumstances, but it’s generally recommended to wait at least six months to a year after the initial surgery. This allows for the breasts to fully settle and for any swelling or changes in appearance to stabilize, providing a more accurate assessment of the need for revision and ensuring optimal results from the procedure.

Yes, breast augmentation revision surgery is safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. We use top-quality implants from the two most trusted manufacturers to further promote your safety. Both Natrelle and Mentor implants are renowned for their longevity and reliability.

With adherence to rigorous safety standards, these implants are intended to remain in place as long as you desire.

Breast augmentation revision recovery is similar to the initial augmentation recovery. Unlike with the first procedure, your surgeon may not need to modify or create a new subpectoral and sub-glandular pocket which can mitigate discomfort and minimize recovery times by reducing impact on your body. You may also feel more prepared this time, which helps to improve the experience by reducing anxiety.

Pre-Surgery Collaboration & Preparation

Before your procedure, our team will work with you to ensure you have everything you need for a more comfortable recovery, including post-surgery transportation arrangements, medical supplies, local childcare recommendations, pet boarding options and more.

Our care providers are on standby to answer any questions you have before your procedure and as you recover.

Discomfort Following Surgery Is Normal & Usually Well-Tolerated

Some patients experience tightness or a stretched sensation due to implant pressure on the skin and chest muscles. This sensation may be less apparent due to the previous implants. Typically, patients need about three to four days of rest before gradually resuming light activities, with more strenuous exercises and athletic activities postponed for three to six weeks depending on individual healing progress.

Additionally, starting two weeks post-surgery, rigorous implant massages and displacement exercises are recommended to promote a more natural shape, position and feel of the implants within the breast pockets.
