At DrBeauty, we understand that breast implants are not always a “one-time” solution. Whether due to aging, weight changes, implant issues, or personal preference, many women seek a breast implant revision to improve appearance, symmetry, or comfort. Our expert surgeons specialize in complex revision cases, ensuring safe, satisfying, and natural-looking outcomes.
What is Breast Implant Revision Surgery?
Breast implant revision surgery involves removing, replacing, or repositioning existing implants to improve shape, size, symmetry, or correct complications. It may include capsule removal, scar tissue correction, or aesthetic refinement. Common reasons for revision include: Capsular contracture (hardened scar tissue around the implant), Implant rupture, leakage, or deflation, Change in size or shape preference, Asymmetry or malposition of implants, Rippling or wrinkling, Aging, sagging, or weight fluctuations.

How the Procedure Works?
Consultation & Imaging
A detailed review of your implant history, physical exam, and imaging (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) to identify implant status and plan the best revision approach.
Anesthesia & Incision Strategy
General anesthesia is used. Incisions are typically made along previous scars (inframammary, periareolar) to minimize new scarring.
Implant Removal & Correction
- Removal of old implants
- Correction of capsular contracture or scar tissue
- Optional capsulectomy (removal of implant capsule)
- Pocket repair or repositioning (if implants were malpositioned)
New Implant Placement & Closure
New implants inserted (or breast reshaped if not replaced)
Pocket adjusted for symmetry
Incisions closed and compression applied

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is revision more complicated than primary breast augmentation?
Often, yes. Revision surgery requires specialized experience, especially when dealing with capsular contracture, ruptures, or symmetry issues.
Will I have new scars?
In most cases, your previous incision lines are reused. We aim to minimize additional scarring.
Can I choose a different size or shape during revision?
Absolutely. You can downsize, increase, or switch implant types (e.g., silicone to saline or vice versa).
How long do the new implants last?
Modern implants can last 10–20 years or longer. Regular check-ups are recommended.
How long should I stay in Turkey for the procedure?
We recommend 7–10 days, including pre-op tests, surgery, and post-op care. DrBeauty handles all logistics including airport transfers, hotel, and translation services.
