Breast implants do not last forever. Over time, issues can develop after a prior breast augmentation procedure, including capsular contracture, implant rupture or deflation, implant malposition, and visible asymmetry. In other cases, breast tissue stretches under the weight of the implant, which can contribute to concerns like bottoming out or a “double bubble” appearance.
Breast implant revision surgery in Los Angeles may include implant removal and exchange, capsulectomy, pocket adjustment (including neosubpectoral techniques), and/or a breast lift (mastopexy) to restore a more balanced, natural breast shape. The surgical plan depends on why you are seeking revision (for example, rupture vs. capsular contracture vs. malposition), the condition of the capsule, your existing tissue support, and your desired outcome.
In many cases, Dr. Hirsch can use the same incision from your original surgery to minimize additional scarring. Revision surgery may involve removing or replacing the implant, removing hardened capsule tissue (capsulectomy), changing the implant pocket position, and/or performing a breast lift to improve shape and nipple position. The goal is improved symmetry and a more natural breast appearance.
