Sometimes, your breast augmentation may need correction or refinement over time. If you are unhappy with your breast implants, it’s time for a breast implant revision. This customized procedure addresses your unique concerns and aesthetic goals to create a result that feels more balanced with your ideal contour. This blog discusses the national average breast implant revision cost, what options patients have, and what is included in an accurate cost estimate.
What Is Breast Implant Revision Surgery?
If you are no longer happy with your breast implants, you deserve another chance at a look you love. Breast implant revision is a specialized cosmetic procedure that addresses a variety of aesthetic and functional concerns with an initial breast augmentation, including:
- Capsular contracture
- Ruptured implants
- Ill-fitting implants
- Rotated implants
- Bottomed out implants
- Overall dissatisfaction with the implants
Some patients seek revision due to concerns related to improper placement of implants, poor surgical technique, or simple bad luck. Others may find that their goals have changed and want to update the size or shape of their current breast implants.
Since breast implant revision surgery is highly customized, pricing can vary widely. The total cost depends on several cost factors, including the current issue with your breast implants, what you want out of breast revision, and the technique required.
On average, the costs of breast implant revision range from $3,500 to over $20,00. Much of this wide-ranging cost comes down to the technique, the complexity of the procedure, your surgeon’s expertise, and whether you have combined procedures with it. We’ll discuss some of these details below, so you can better understand how breast implant revision pricing works.
What Are My Breast Revision Options?
Breast revision is a highly customized procedure, as most of the surgical technique depends on your anatomy, current issues with your implants, and your end goals for the procedure.
Breast Implant Replacement
Some breast revision patients do not experience discomfort or visual concerns but simply want to replace or upgrade old implants to a new size or material. In this case, Dr. Savalia performs breast revision in a way that’s similar to the initial breast augmentation surgery. This involves making a short incision over the old scar, removing the old implants, and replacing breast implants with new ones in the breast pocket.
This option is also effective for patients with implant ruptures, correcting implant malpositions, fixing implant displacement, or during severe capsular contracture correction.
Breast Implant Removal
If you no longer want your implants, Dr. Savalia can remove them and repair the integrity of the muscles and tissues to create a smaller, more natural breast. Many patients combine this with a breast lift to restore the natural breast tissue, especially if they have larger implants.
Additionally, many women choose a “natural” augmentation with fat grafting, a technique that removes fat from one area of the body via liposuction and reinjects it into the breasts to subtly enhance volume and implant shape.
Capsulectomy
The breast capsule is a natural protective casing that surrounds the breast implant. In some cases, this capsule can become overly firm and constrict the implants, causing pain or squishing them out of place. When this occurs, the capsule may need to be removed entirely.
Capusulotomy
If the capsule is not severely overformed, Dr. Savalia may be able to repair capsular contracture by cutting the scar capsule.
What Is Included in Breast Implant Revision Costs?
During your initial consultation with Dr. Savalia, he will evaluate all of the above factors and provide you with an accurate cost estimate. This estimate will depend on the combination procedures that you choose, the complexity of your procedure, and more.
Additionally, you may be given an ultrasound, so Dr. Savalia can determine the quality of the breast implants. This is especially helpful in cases of suspected ruptures, as it helps us get a better idea of what to expect during surgery.
Your total cost will include:
- Surgical Fee: This is the cost of breast implant revision itself and is often the average you’ll see online. Your surgical fee is determined by the details of your customized surgical plan, including the complexity of the revision and the techniques required. It also reflects your surgeon’s experience, specialization, and expertise. By choosing a highly experienced breast revision surgeon, you may pay a higher fee for added confidence in the quality, safety, and precision of your results.
- Facility Fee: This refers to the cost of performing the procedure in an operating room or other surgical facility. Surgeons perform long or complex procedures, such as breast revision, in an accredited facility or hospital operating room.
- Anesthesia Fee: Breast revision surgery is performed using general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety through the duration of the procedure. It is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. While it carries a higher fee than local anesthesia, general anesthesia provides superior results.
- Miscellaneous Fees: You may need to consider over-the-counter pain medications, surgical garments such as surgical bras, and the cost of implants if you are replacing them.
All pre- and post-operative consultations and appointments with Dr. Savalia are included in your fees.
