Breast Revision

Breast revision requires a more precise diagnosis and surgical
expertise than the primary procedure.
When limited information about the previous surgery is available,
it is crucial to assess the current condition
and identify the underlying cause accurately.

At 345 Plastic Surgery, we ensure that every detail
is meticulously addressed so that this revision becomes
your final and definitive breast surgery.

Breast Revision Surgery

We recommend undergoing breast revision
at least 6 months after the initial surgery.

If we chart average skin elasticity, wrinkle depth,
and skin tone, these generally improve until the 20s,
but aging accelerates rapidly in the 30s and even faster from the 50s onward.

As aging accelerates in the 30s, 345 Plastic Surgery offers lifting procedures to slow down aging and help maintain a youthful appearance.

Breast Revision Surgery

The most common reason
for breast revision: Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture is the most common cause of
breast revision, characterized by breast firmness or distortion.
It occurs when the capsule around the implant thickens
due to bacterial contamination.

Before & After

Before and After Photos of
Breast Revision

Breast Revision Surgery

Revision is performed
after identifying the cause of dissatisfaction.

Breast shape is not determined by implants alone.
Multiple factors must be considered to avoid repeated surgeries.

The ideal shape and natural movement are achieved
by properly evaluating the mammary gland, muscle, capsule, and the implant pocket.

Incision Lines for Implant Removal

Typically, implant removal is performed through the same incision as the initial surgery.
However, if the incision site has hardened or if the patient prefers, a different incision may be used. If scar tissue is present, the implant can be removed through the same area while simultaneously performing scar revision.

How, Why,

Frequently Asked Questions
About Breast Surgery

The ratio between the implant and the surrounding space is very important.
If the pocket is too tight, the implant cannot move naturally.
Therefore, sufficient space should be secured.
Implant selection should be based on your chest wall dimensions.
An implant that is too large for the chest may result in a firmer texture.

Modern breast augmentation does not affect pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
Patients can safely breastfeed after surgery without concerns.

In most cases, implant replacement is necessary during revision surgery to change the shape or size.
However, if the revision only corrects sagging, it may not require implant replacement.
When rupture or aging occurs, patients often choose to remove and replace the implant.
