Breast Implant Revision

Breast implant revision is a procedure to remove or replace implants to correct ‘capsule contracture’, implant ruptures, displaced implants or misshapen breasts and rotated implants.

 

 

At LBPS we spend a lot of time with our patients matching the type and size of breast implants to their particular soft-tissues types therefore minimising any need for revision surgery. However, as breast augmentation or implant surgery is the most common plastic surgery procedure performed there are often cases where patients may desire revision surgery. Rarely a condition known as ‘capsular contracture’ occurs after breast augmentation surgery whereby collagen-fibre capsules tighten and squeeze the breast implant. This may lead to the breast implant looking odd or incorrectly positioned.

 

Regardless of where you first had your implant surgery or for whatever reason you may feel you need revision surgery we are here to help and can advise on the best way forward to make you feel comfortable.

With any type of surgery it’s important to ensure the surgeon has extensive experience and the clinic will provide the best possible results with the most honest appraisal of your situation. Our surgeon Christopher Inglefield will spend time with you discussing your expectations before any surgery and our priority is safety and the best results for our patients. The reasons for revision surgery are varied – some people might wish to replace their implant with a smaller one after initially having breast augmentation or indeed some breast cancer patients undergo some revision of the nipple area. Whatever your requirements please do give us a call on 0207 487 0900 and we will be happy to discuss how we can help.
