Breast revision surgery is a procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation. This is usually accomplished by replacing old implants with new ones or removing breast implants altogether.
Some patients pursue breast revision because of implant complications, such as rupture or capsular contracture. Others simply want to change the aesthetic appearance of their breasts, such as size, shape, or symmetry.
Depending on your goals, breast revision may include:
Each case is completely unique, so each breast revision requires careful planning. All cases require a comprehensive and thorough approach
Capsular contracture occurs when the capsule (natural scar tissue that forms around a breast implant) becomes unusually thick, tight, or constricting. This often causes the breasts to feel firm or painful, or look distorted or unnaturally round.
Dr. Savalia usually recommends total capsulectomy for capsular contracture correction. This way, the abnormal capsule is removed completely rather than simply released. A thorough approach helps to improve the shape and feel of the breasts while reducing the risk of recurrence.
Bottoming out happens when an implant drops too low on the chest, usually below the natural breast crease, causing the nipple to appear too high on the breast mound. This can create an unnatural, stretched appearance and loss of fullness in the upper breast.
Correction often involves tightening or rebuilding the implant pocket, reinforcing the lower breast fold, and, sometimes, a breast lift.
Some implants sit too high, too low, too far apart, or too close together. Implant malposition can happen over time or can result from the original breast augmentation surgery.
Dr. Savalia will carefully evaluate the implant pocket and may adjust implant placement, reinforce weak tissue, or change the implant plane from over the muscle to under the muscle for better long-term support.
A double bubble occurs when the implant sits below the natural breast crease, creating the appearance of two stacked breast folds, or a “double bubble.”
Correction requires surgical revision of the breast pocket to reconstruct the inframammary crease.
Teardrop-shaped anatomical implants can sometimes rotate out of place, making the breasts appear misshapen and asymmetrical.
Revision surgery can involve replacing anatomical implants with round implants or otherwise reshaping the breast pocket to prevent shifting in the future.
Breast implant rupture can occur with both saline and silicone implants. Saline ruptures are immediately noticeable because the saltwater solution is safely absorbed into the body, and the implant visibly deflates. Silicone ruptures, on the other hand, are often called silent ruptures because they can typically only be detected with MRI or ultrasound.
Dr. Savalia carefully evaluates implant integrity during implant replacement after rupture, also addressing any concerns about the surrounding scar tissue.
Symmastia is when implants are too close together, causing loss of separation between the breasts. This creates the appearance of implants merging over the breastbone in the center of the chest.
Correction requires delicate reconstruction of the cleavage space and implant pockets to restore proper breast positioning.
Differences in breast shape, size, or nipple position can be present before breast augmentation or develop over time after breast augmentation.
Breast revision can improve symmetry through various methods, including implant exchange, pocket revision, breast lifting, fat grafting, or a combination of techniques to create a more balanced appearance.
Sometimes your aesthetic goals change. You may wish to go larger for more fullness, or smaller for a lighter feel and more natural appearance.
Breast revision allows you to exchange implants for a size and type that better suits your body, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

Breast revision is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.
Dr. Savalia tries to use the same incision from the original procedure whenever possible to minimize additional scarring. He first removes the old implants and carefully evaluates the surrounding capsule and breast pocket. Depending on your needs and surgical plan, he may perform a total capsulectomy, revise the implant pocket, reinforce tissue with internal mesh, or reposition the implant under the muscle.
Once the revision is complete, new implants may be placed, or the breasts may be reshaped using a lift or fat grafting if implants are being removed.
The incisions are then carefully closed using specialized techniques to minimize tension and optimize healing.
Many patients find recovery from breast revision easier than their original breast augmentation because the breast pocket has already been created.
Most patients can return to work within a week or two, depending on the complexity of surgery. Showering is typically allowed within a few days, and gentle walks around the house are recommended to promote circulation and prevent blood clots. Swelling and soreness are expected, but can be managed with over-the-counter medications or prescriptions provided by Dr. Savalia.
You may need to wear a compression garment or surgical bra to support your breasts as the delicate tissues heal. Drains may be used depending on the procedure.
Strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks until Dr. Savalia clears you. Be sure to attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and ideal long-term results.
Breast revision can be truly life-changing, dramatically improving breast appearance and restoring a patient’s sense of comfort and well-being. Patients usually notice immediate relief from pain, tightness, or implant distortion. Aesthetic improvements become more visible over time as swelling resolves.
Your breasts should feel softer, sit more naturally, and look more symmetrical over the following weeks and months. Final results typically continue improving for up to a year.
Dr. Savalia’s goal goes beyond simple correction—it’s total restoration, helping you feel confident, comfortable, and fully yourself again.

In my practice, I see a lot of patients who are concerned that their breasts are showing their age. Growing older naturally leads to changes in reproductive hormones that dictate the tissue and structure of breasts. The result is that, over time, your breasts begin to lose their firmness and fullness. While this process is […]

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
