At Flourish Surgical Arts, we provide expert breast revision surgery to enable patients to revise or enhance the results of previous breast augmentations or lifts. In some cases, patients are dissatisfied with the outcome of their first surgery. In other cases, they experience complications such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, scarring, or asymmetry of nipple position. Therefore, breast revision is the solution. Thanks to advancements in medicine, it is now possible to reestablish or enhance breast comfort and appearance with precision. Our triple board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. John R. Nesiba, brings years of experience and specialized training to every breast revision. He has completed over 1,000 cosmetic procedures. We are committed to individualizing every surgical plan and walking every patient through a safe and empowering transformation.

What Is a
Breast Revision?

Breast revision surgery is a procedure designed to enhance or correct the result of an initial breast augmentation or lift. It may involve the exchange of current implants, the excision of scar tissue, reshaping of the breast pocket, or repositioning of implants. Dr. Nesiba utilizes cutting-edge techniques to repair functional issues along with cosmetic problems.

Patients may seek breast revision for a variety of reasons. These may include implant deflation, desired size change, poor healing, rippling, or visible asymmetry. Not only does the surgery restore contour and balance, but it also enhances the patient’s comfort and confidence. In many cases, Dr. Nesiba may recommend combining a revision with a breast lift to correct sagging or laxity of the skin for optimal results.

When to Seek a Breast Revision Procedure?

Flourish Surgical Arts performs breast implant revision surgery for many reasons, including:

Ruptured or deflated implants

A patient’s existing breast implants can eventually leak or rupture. If they experience a leak or rupture, it is important to see us to correct it.

Changes following weight fluctuation or pregnancy

Following major life events, breasts may no longer be proportionate to the patient’s frame. If this happens, Flourish Surgical Arts is here to help.

A desire to increase or decrease your current breast size

It’s not uncommon for our patients to decide they’re dissatisfied with the size of their implants. We can perform breast implant revision surgery if they have decided to increase or decrease the size of their implants.

A desire to change the type of your breast implants

Flourish Surgical Arts can make any changes to implants, including moving to a different material.

Symptoms of capsular contracture

It is normal for the body to produce a capsule that can harden, thicken, and become tighter in the area around implants. When this happens, breast implant revision can be necessary.

Unfavorable results from a previous breast lift or reduction

Patients who have experienced unsatisfactory outcomes from a past breast reduction or lift may find that undergoing another procedure can help address concerns like asymmetry of nipple placement, visible scarring, or unattractive shape

Implant Exchange

This plastic surgery involves the removal of the original breast implants and their replacement with new ones. Dr. Nesiba can change the implant type (silicone, saline, or gummy bear), implant size, implant shape, or implant profile based on the patient’s new wishes. Implant exchange is ideal for patients who want a new look or have experienced implant rupture, rippling, or deflation.

Capsulectomy (Partial or Total)

If the patient develops capsular contracture, a condition in which the capsule of scar tissue around the implant becomes rigid, our surgeon can perform a capsulectomy to remove the capsule partially or entirely. This improves comfort and corrects aesthetic issues. It is typically performed in combination with implant removal or replacement.

Pocket Revision (Capsulorrhaphy or Capsulotomy)

This option is utilized if the implant pocket becomes too loose or malpositioned. Dr. Nesiba recontours the internal breast pocket to enhance implant position, reduce asymmetry, or repair bottoming out and lateral displacement. This revision technique achieves more balanced, symmetrical, and stable results.

En Bloc Implant Removal

In situations where patients wish to have their implants taken out entirely—particularly because of complications or personal desire—Dr. Nesiba can carry out an en bloc capsulectomy. In this case, he extracts the implant and surrounding capsule as a single unit. This method reduces tissue disruption and is frequently selected for patients who are worried about breast implant illness (BII).

Breast Revision Techniques

At Flourish Surgical Arts, we utilize a variety of advanced breast revision techniques to correct or enhance the result of previous breast surgery. These techniques vary based on the patient’s problems, implant history, anatomical needs, and aesthetic goals.

Before & After Results

Breast Revision Procedure

Initial Consultation and Testing

During the initial consultation, Dr. Nesiba carefully evaluates the patient’s previous breast surgery results and current issues. He discusses why revision is wished for—whether it is because of implant dissatisfaction, asymmetry, discomfort, or cosmetic goals—and describes what breast revision procedures can be most beneficial. He also takes pre-operative photos and provides a personal cost estimate based on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s desired outcome.

To ensure patient safety, our surgeon performs a thorough medical assessment. This includes blood work, a mammogram, and an EKG. This way, he can check for any underlying medical issues. The surgery may be postponed or adjusted if the patient has contraindications such as:

The Surgery

Marking and Anesthesia

Dr. Nesiba marks the incision sites based on the revision plan on the surgery day. Then, the patient is given general anesthesia by our anesthesiologist to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure.

Incisions and Adjustment

Next, our surgeon makes incisions based on the needed technique—this may involve removal or replacement of the implant, correction of implant position, removal of scar tissue, or reshaping of the breast pocket.

Closing the Incisions

Once the adjustments have been completed and the desired outcome is achieved, Dr. Nesiba closes the incisions with fine sutures. Surgical drains may be placed if needed to reduce fluid buildup. The entire procedure typically takes two to four hours to perform, based on its complexity.

Add-On Procedure:
Breast Augmentation

Some patients undergoing breast revision surgery choose to have breast augmentation surgery to add volume, improve shape, or place new implants to take the place of previously removed implants. Dr. John R. Nesiba discusses in detail with the patient which type of implant is best to use—saline, silicone, or gummy bear—based on the patient’s desired result and anatomy. Augmentation at the time of revision also fills out loose or stretched skin, especially if a prior implant has been removed or deflated. This procedure combo may slightly increase recovery. But it accomplishes a total aesthetic rejuvenation in a single surgical procedure. Breast augmentation patients get fuller, more youthful-looking breasts that restore symmetry and confidence.

Recovery After Breast Revision Surgery

Immediate Recovery

After surgery, patients recover in our comfortable recovery area as the anesthesia wears off. Dr. Nesiba and our team monitor vital signs and ensure that the patient is stable before going home on the same day. Some discomfort, swelling, and tightness can be expected during the first few days. But our surgeon can prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to promote healing and minimize the risk of infection.

Initial Weeks

Patients must wear a compression garment or surgical bra for the first 2–3 weeks to support the breasts and reduce swelling. Activity should be gentle, with limitations on lifting, bending, or strenuous work. Drains are placed according to procedure complexity and are usually removed within a few days. Stitches are absorbable or removed after 7–10 days.

Long-Term Outcomes

Most bruising and swelling resolve within six to eight weeks, with subtle changes remaining for several months. Patients are often able to begin enjoying the final breast shape in about three months. With proper aftercare and a healthy lifestyle, the outcome of breast revision is long-term and very rewarding. Dr. Nesiba schedules follow-ups to check healing and answer any post-op questions to ensure a smooth and supported recovery process.

Candidates for Breast Revision Surgery

Breast revision is an option for those who have already undergone breast surgery and are now experiencing complications or dissatisfaction with their results. Some of the primary signs that a patient would be an ideal candidate for breast revision include:

Unsatisfactory Result from Prior Surgery

Patients who are unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts after a prior surgery can qualify for revision.

Capsular Contracture or Implant Malposition

If the implant has hardened, moved, or become painful, breast revision can correct the issue and restore comfort.

Implant Deflation or Rupture

Revision is necessary when a saline implant deflates or a silicone implant ruptures.

Request for Size or Type Change

Some patients seek revision to switch implant types or move to another breast size for lifestyle or cosmetic reasons.

Healthy Weight and Health

The patient should be in good overall health, free of uncontrolled medical conditions, and near their ideal weight.

Non-smokers

Smoking can hinder healing and increase the risk of complications. Candidates should not smoke four weeks before and after surgery.

Benefits of Breast Revision Surgery

Improved Aesthetic Outcome

Breast revision enables patients to address concerns such as asymmetry, implant rippling, or sagging. It can lead to a more harmonious and visually appealing breast contour.

Enhanced Comfort

By correcting such complications as capsular contracture or implant displacement, this surgery can relieve pain and discomfort, significantly improving quality of life.

Customization to Current Preferences

Whether this is because of lifestyle or the aging process, breast revision enables a patient to alter implant size or transition to newer, more natural-feeling materials.

Greater Confidence

A more natural and pleasing appearance can be confidence-boosting and can enhance self-esteem, especially for patients who previously had been dissatisfied with their results.

Better Intimacy and Body Image

When patients are confident about their bodies, they tend to experience more personal satisfaction as well as better intimate relationships. This can lead patients to feel at ease in their clothes and more comfortable with how they look.

Long-Term Satisfaction

Using modern surgical techniques and implant options, breast revision can provide results that last for many years, especially when paired with proper habits and regular check-ups.
