Breast implant revision is a potentially transformative procedure that addresses concerns arising from previous breast augmentation surgeries. At Pacific Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ashley Tregaskiss specializes in this intricate procedure, helping patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals and renewed confidence.

What is a Breast Implant Revision? 

Breast implant revision involves removing or replacing existing breast implants to address various issues that may have developed over time. This procedure can help patients who are unhappy with the size, shape, position or appearance of their current implants, or those experiencing complications such as implant rupture or capsular contracture.

Dr. Tregaskiss’s expertise in breast implant revision in Langley and Vancouver ensures that patients receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs and goals. Whether you’re looking to change implant size, exchange from saline to silicone implants, or address complications, breast implant revision can help you achieve the look you desire.

Who is a Candidate for Breast Implant Revision?

Ideal candidates for breast implant revisions are generally in good health, maintain a stable weight, and are non-smokers. You may be a suitable candidate if:

• You’re unhappy with the size or shape of your current implants
• Your implants are 10 years or older
• You’re experiencing complications such as implant rupture or capsular contracture
• You’ve noticed changes in breast appearance due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations

Dr. Tregaskiss carefully evaluates each patient’s unique situation to determine if breast implant revision is the right choice for them. He sees patients from Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Langley, and Bowen Island, BC, ensuring that residents throughout the region have access to his expertise.

Breast Implant Revision Surgical Process

Breast implant revision surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia in an accredited private surgical facility. This procedure can take anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Dr. Tregaskiss may use existing incision sites to minimize additional scarring.

During the procedure, Dr. Tregaskiss will remove the old implants and may also address any scar tissue that has formed. He will then place new implants if desired and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired outcome. In some cases, a breast lift may be performed in conjunction with the implant revision to address sagging or drooping.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from breast implant revision is typically similar to that of the initial breast augmentation surgery. Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the days following the procedure. Dr. Tregaskiss provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery typically taking 6 weeks. The final results of your breast implant revision will become apparent as swelling subsides and the implants settle into their new position.

Benefits of Breast Implant Revision

Breast implant revision offers numerous benefits. It can improve breast appearance and symmetry while resolving complications from previous surgeries. Additionally, many patients experience enhanced self-confidence and body image after undergoing this procedure.
