Breast Revision Surgery

• Rippling(when irregularities of the implant surface are felt or seen through the skin). This may develop as a result of a thinning of the tissue covering the implants or from an implant that is under filled or leaking. This problem can simply be fixed by overfilling the existing implant through a small incision and the areola.
• Capsular contracture(when the body forms a thick scar around the implant(s). This may occur on one or both sides and may cause a shape change, discomfort, and may cause the breast to feel more firm. There are several ways of approaching this problem and one of them is to remove the entire capsule surrounding the implant. Sometimes, it could be combined with moving implants into a totally different pocket, or even exchanging into new implants may also help. However, removing implants may be necessary for those who have a tendency of recurrence.
