At American Surgical Arts in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, Dr. Sean Bidic and Dr. Vinay Gundlapalli perform breast implant revision procedures with decades of advanced surgical training. Both surgeons are double board-certified and experienced in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
Why Women Choose Breast Implant Revision
Some of the most common reasons for a breast implant revision procedure include:
- Wanting a different implant size or shape
- Switching from saline to silicone (or vice versa)
- Capsular contracture
- Implant rupture or leakage
- Shifting or asymmetry
- Rippling or visible edges
- Changes after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
What the Procedure Involves
Breast implant revision is more complex than the initial augmentation, which is why choosing an experienced surgeon matters. During your consultation at American Surgical Arts, your surgeon will examine your current implants, review your medical history, and discuss your goals in detail.
Surgery typically involves removing the old implants through the same incisions used before, though this can vary. If new implants are placed, you may choose a different size or switch implant types (saline or silicone). If the implants are being removed altogether, a breast lift may be done at the same time to improve shape and support.
Additional techniques may be required to correct capsular contracture or implant displacement.
What Recovery Looks Like
Recovery from a breast implant revision really depends on what was done during your surgery. If you had implants removed and replaced, or added a lift, your timeline might look a little different than someone with a simpler revision. That said, most women are up and moving around within a week or two.
You can expect some swelling, tightness, and soreness in the early days. It can take a few months for everything to settle and for your final results to take shape. Your surgeon will walk you through what to expect and make sure you feel supported from start to finish.
