Breast Implant Revision
Address issues such as implant size changes, deflation, malposition, or capsular contracture with breast implant revision surgery.
Some specific reasons for seeking breast implant revision in Los Angeles include a desire to change the implant size or type, implant deflation, implant malposition, tightening of the scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture), or double-bubble deformity.
If a significant amount of time has elapsed since your primary surgery, your natural breast shape and skin quality may be different. These differences may require a lifting procedure in addition to the revision. You also may be a candidate for the use of a cellular dermal matrix, the most up-to-date advancement in breast implant revision in Los Angeles.
Patient requested larger, fuller breasts and improved position of the implants.Dr. Yovino performed a Breast Aug Revision. 450cc saline implants were removed and replaced under the muscle with 700cc smooth round high-profile silicone gel breast implants.
Breast Implant Revision in Los Angeles
Over time, the appearance of breast implants may change due to natural aging, changes in weight, pregnancy, or implant-related issues. At Ideal Face & Body, breast implant revision surgery is performed to address a wide range of concerns and help patients feel confident in their appearance once again.
Common Reasons for Breast Implant Revision
Patients seek breast implant revision in Los Angeles for various reasons, including:
Desire to change implant size or type: Some patients wish to increase or decrease their implant volume or switch from saline to silicone, or vice versa, for a different look or feel.
Implant deflation or rupture: Particularly with saline implants, deflation can occur and require prompt surgical replacement.
Capsular contracture: A tightening of the scar tissue around the implant that can cause discomfort and a distorted breast shape.
Implant malposition: When implants shift or settle into an unnatural position (such as too high, too low, or laterally), affecting symmetry and aesthetics.
Double-bubble deformity: A complication where the implant falls below the natural breast crease, creating a visible indentation or bulge.
Aging and Anatomical Changes
If many years have passed since your primary augmentation, your natural breast tissue and skin quality may have changed. Skin laxity, stretching, or volume loss can influence the surgical plan. In such cases, a breast lift (mastopexy) may be performed in conjunction with revision to elevate the nipple and restore youthful positioning. Breast implant revision may be neccesary.
In more complex revisions, Dr. Yovino may recommend the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM)—an advanced surgical material that reinforces and supports weakened tissue, especially useful for correcting implant malposition, recurrent capsular contracture, or thinning skin.
