What is Breast Implant Revision Surgery?

Some patients in Beverly Hills who undergo breast augmentation surgery may need a revision in the future. The most common reason for a revision or a second breast surgery is to change the size of the breast implant-usually to go larger. Other than size changes, some patients my develop capsular contracture (hard scar tissue) which is another common reason to have a revision. Revisions can often be performed through the same incision that was used to place the implant, however, sometimes you may require additional incisions. About 20% of all patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery will require a second surgery within the first decade.
