Revision Breast Surgery

Revision breast surgery corrects unsatisfactory results from a previous breast procedure — whether that means replacing worn implants, addressing asymmetry, correcting capsular contracture, or refining the overall shape and position of the breast. It requires both technical skill and an understanding of what went wrong the first time.

Prof. Dr. Özgür Pilancı approaches revision cases with careful analysis and precision — identifying the underlying issue and developing a surgical plan that achieves the outcome the original procedure did not.

What Is Revision Breast Surgery?

Revision breast surgery encompasses any corrective procedure performed on previously operated breasts. Common reasons include implant replacement, correction of implant displacement or rupture, treatment of capsular contracture (hardening around the implant), size change, asymmetry correction, or improvement of scars. Each revision case is unique and requires individualized planning.

Revision Breast Surgery FAQs

Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after the original procedure before undergoing revision, to allow full healing and for the final result to stabilize.

The most common reasons include capsular contracture, implant rupture or deflation, implant displacement, size dissatisfaction, asymmetry, and changes in breast shape following pregnancy or weight loss.

Yes — revision surgery is generally more technically demanding due to scar tissue, altered anatomy, and the need to correct previous work. Choosing an experienced surgeon is especially important.

Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant hardens and tightens, distorting the breast shape. It can be corrected surgically by removing the scar tissue (capsulectomy) and replacing the implant.

Recovery is similar to the original procedure — typically 1–2 weeks before returning to light activity, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks. Complex revisions may require slightly longer.

We recommend 8–10 days for revision procedures, allowing adequate time for surgery, monitoring, and your follow-up assessment before travel.
