Your original breast implants may no longer match your body, lifestyle, or aesthetic preferences. Whether you want a different size, improved symmetry, or a more natural shape, revision breast augmentation lets you reconsider your implant options and choose features that better support your current goals.
Radiance Plastic Surgery is a private outpatient center that has helped patients pursue greater confidence and well-being for more than 20 years. Led by Dr. Lori Cherup, the caring team provides personalized surgical planning and attentive support throughout every stage of breast revision surgery.
Reasons to Select Different Breast Implants
Your preferences and body can change significantly in the years following an initial breast augmentation. Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, or implant-related concerns may affect the appearance of your breasts.
You might consider new implants to:
- Increase or decrease your breast size
- Improve breast symmetry
- Correct implant rippling or visibility
- Restore fullness after pregnancy or weight loss
- Change the shape or projection of your breasts
- Replace an older, damaged, or ruptured implant
- Achieve a softer or more natural appearance
Dr. Cherup will evaluate your existing implants, breast tissue, skin quality, and chest proportions before recommending your options.
Choosing the Right Implant Size
Bigger is not always better, especially during revision surgery. Your new implant size should complement your frame while accounting for the condition of your breast tissue and skin.
If your previous implants stretched the skin or contributed to sagging, replacing them with significantly larger implants may not provide the best long-term support. Some patients choose smaller implants combined with a breast lift to create a more elevated, proportionate appearance.
Comparing Implant Material and Profile
Revision surgery may allow you to switch from saline to silicone implants or select a newer implant style. Silicone gel implants are often chosen for their soft, natural feel, while saline implants allow their volume to be adjusted during surgery.
Implant profile also influences your results. A higher-profile implant creates greater forward projection, while a lower or moderate profile offers a wider base. Dr. Cherup can explain how each option may look based on your anatomy.
Additional Procedures During Revision Surgery
Replacing your implants may be only one part of your surgical plan. Revision breast augmentation can also address scar tissue, implant position, stretched pockets, asymmetry, or sagging.
