What to Expect During a Breast Implant Revision Consultation
During your breast revision consultation, I will talk to you about your surgical goals, previous medical conditions or surgeries, current medications, and drug allergies. My team and I will also go over potential risks and complications, outcomes of the procedure, and examine your existing implants to determine the best way to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Preparing for Breast Revision Surgery
Preparing for breast revision surgery may require you to stop taking certain medications, quit smoking, receive an additional medical evaluation, and avoid taking over-the-counter drugs that may increase bleeding. After your surgery, you are not allowed to drive. Please coordinate with someone to give you a ride to and from our outpatient surgical center.
Breast Implant Revision Procedure in New Jersey
Based on my recommendations during your initial consultation, I will customize your breast revision surgery to meet your desired goals. Surgery can involve improving the breast shape, size, symmetry, or previous unsatisfying outcome of surgery. Depending on your case, I will replace the implant size or type and make one of the following incisions during your procedure:
- Breast Lift Incision – Wise Pattern or Vertical
- Inframammary Incision – Under the Breast
- Peri-areolar Incision – Part Way or Entirely Around the Areola
Breast Implant Revision Recovery
Following surgery, I apply bandages to your incisions, and a small tube is placed under the skin to drain any excess fluid or blood. My team and I will provide you with specific post-op instructions to follow, including concerns to look out for and when to make a follow-up appointment. While recovery time from a breast implant revision varies based on your surgery, most of our patients return to normal activities within two weeks. Your breasts will appear more natural and softer than ever after your recovery!
Breast Implant Revision Results
Each breast revision is unique and tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring the most desirable results after the procedure. It may take a few months for residual swelling to subside to reveal the final results of your surgery, but you can expect softer and more natural breasts after your recovery. As a result, you can expect to gain any confidence you lost due to imperfections from your previous surgery. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and consistent weight to preserve your results, as weight gain or loss can alter the appearance of your breasts over time.
