Breast Implant Revision: When and Why You Might Need It

Breast Implant Revision: When and Why You Might Need It

Breast Implant Revision: When and Why You Might Need ItBreast implant revision surgery is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation. Patients may seek revision for medical reasons, aesthetic concerns, or changes that occur over time. Board-certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast revision to patients in Dallas, Plano, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Common Reasons for Breast Implant Revision

Patients pursue revision surgery for many reasons, including:

  • Capsular contracture
    • Implant rupture or deflation
    • Implant malposition
    • Breast asymmetry
    • Desire to change implant size or type
    • Changes due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss

Each case is unique and requires individualized planning.

Signs You May Need Revision Surgery

You may benefit from evaluation if you notice increased firmness, pain, visible distortion, uneven breast shape, or implants that no longer sit naturally.

Some concerns develop gradually, while others appear suddenly.

How Breast Implant Revision Is Performed

Revision surgery may involve removing or replacing implants, adjusting the implant pocket, removing scar tissue, or combining surgery with a breast lift.

Because revision surgery is more complex than initial augmentation, surgical expertise is essential.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery varies depending on the extent of correction. In many cases, recovery is similar to the original augmentation, though some patients require additional downtime.

Revision surgery often restores comfort, symmetry, and confidence.

Breast Augmentation for Petite Patients: Special Considerations

Breast Augmentation for Petite Patients: Special ConsiderationsBreast augmentation can be especially transformative for petite patients, but achieving natural, balanced results requires careful planning. Smaller frames present unique anatomical considerations that influence implant selection, placement, and long-term outcomes. Board-certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast augmentation to patients in Dallas, Plano, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Why Petite Patients Require a Customized Approach

Petite patients typically have narrower chests, smaller breast bases, and less soft tissue coverage. Choosing implants without accounting for these factors can lead to an overdone look or future complications.

A customized plan ensures enhancement that complements a smaller frame rather than overpowering it.

Choosing the Right Implant Size

For petite patients, implant size is guided more by chest width and proportions than by desired cup size. Oversized implants can extend too far toward the arms or place excess strain on the skin.

Moderate implant volumes often create the most flattering and timeless results on a petite body.

Implant Profile and Projection

Implant profile plays a critical role in petite augmentation. Higher-profile implants can provide forward projection without increasing width, which may be beneficial for narrow chests.

Your surgeon will balance profile and volume to avoid excessive fullness or unnatural contours.

Implant Placement Considerations

Under-the-muscle placement is commonly recommended for petite patients with limited natural breast tissue. This placement provides additional soft tissue coverage and reduces the risk of visible rippling.

Long-Term Results and Comfort

Careful planning helps ensure results that remain comfortable and proportional as the body changes over time. Petite patients often benefit most from conservative, anatomy-driven decisions.
