Procedure Overview
Implant revision addresses concerns with existing breast implants — including capsular contracture, implant rupture, size change requests, or simply reaching the point where implants are due for evaluation. Depending on the reason for revision, treatment may involve implant replacement, removal, repositioning, or a combination with a lift.
IDEAL FOR
Patients with ageing, damaged or unsatisfactory existing breast implants requiring replacement or adjustment.
How the treatment works

The procedure
Performed under general anaesthesia, typically 1 to 3 hours depending on complexity, usually as day surgery or a short stay.
04
Recovery & follow-up
