Breast Revision

Restore Your Results

Breast implants don’t last forever. At some point, you may want to refresh your breast augmentation results with a Baltimore breast revision surgery.

Alternatively, you may experience an implant problem, such as rippling or capsular contracture, and require new implants to correct the issue. No matter your situation, Dr. Maakan Taghizadeh can perform a breast revision procedure to restore your results!

Breast Implant Revision for Cosmetic Reasons

Sometimes, there is a change in the shape of the breast that can cause issues, including:

  • The breast implant is rotating inside its capsule.
  • The capsule of tissue around the breast forms in a way that holds the breast implant too high, too low, too wide, or too close together (symmastia is the term for breast implants so close together that there is little to no difference)
  • Bottoming out, in which the implants descend below the breast crease over the years

While these issues are not common, a remedy is available if they do occur. Once Dr. Tag correctly diagnoses the cause, he can recommend a procedure to restore beautiful, aesthetically pleasing breast augmentation results.

Sagging Breast Tissue

As you age, your skin and tissue naturally droop and sag. Although your breast implants may remain in their raised, perky position, the tissue toward the edge of the implant may start to sag. Dr. Tag can perform a procedure to reduce excess tissue, yielding great results.

Treating Capsular Contracture

A capsule of scar tissue naturally forms around breast implants. It encases the implant and is perfectly normal and expected. In uncommon instances, the capsule contracts and tightens, which can cause discomfort.

In some cases of capsular contracture, your breast will also feel hard to the touch. Dr. Tag can correct capsular contracture with a surgical procedure, including making a small incision in the capsule.

This may be all that is needed to allow the capsule to stretch, thin, and soften. For more advanced contracture, a capsulectomy procedure may need to be performed to remove the capsule entirely.

Breast Implant Rupture or Tear

Ruptures are not very common, but they do occur from time to time. You may or may not realize if an implant has ruptured. Saline implants leak and deflate, so you’ll be able to see a visible change in your breast.

Silicone implants retain their shape, so you may need an MRI to detect a tear or rupture. If this happens, Dr. Taghizadeh will replace the ruptured breast implant.

Baltimore Breast Revision to Correct Malposition, Rotation, or Symmetry

Sometimes, there is a change in the shape of the breast that can cause issues, including:

  • The breast implant is rotating inside its capsule.
  • The capsule of tissue around the breast forms in a way that holds the breast implant too high, too low, too wide, or too close together (symmastia is the term for breast implants so close together that there is little to no difference)
  • Bottoming out, in which the implants descend below the breast crease over the years

While these issues are not common, a remedy is available if they do occur. Once Dr. Tag correctly diagnoses the cause, he can recommend a procedure to restore beautiful, aesthetically pleasing breast augmentation results.

Breast Augmentation Candidates

The first step is to arrange your consultation with Dr. Tag. Besides discussing why you’re seeking a Baltimore breast revision, Dr. Tag will review your health history and other factors to ensure you are a good candidate for surgery.

In some cases, performing a breast implant revision in conjunction with a breast lift makes sense. The breast lift procedure (mastopexy) reduces excess, sagging tissue and raises the position of the breasts.

Dr. Tag will determine if a concurrent procedure is suitable in your case and will inform you of all available options.

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Revision?

Breast revision surgery can be a game-changer when it comes to maintaining or improving your breast aesthetics over time. Whether you’re dealing with implant issues, changes in breast shape, or simply want to update your look, revision surgery helps restore confidence and comfort. 

Benefits include correcting implant problems such as rupture, malposition, or capsular contracture, enhancing breast symmetry, and addressing changes caused by aging or fluctuations in weight. 

Additionally, you can upgrade your implants to newer, more natural-feeling options or adjust their size and shape to suit your current lifestyle better.
