Breast surgery

Breast revision surgery

Addresses problems after augmentation — capsular contracture, implant displacement, asymmetry or size dissatisfaction — by releasing the capsule and repositioning a new implant.

Who it suits

  • Firmness from capsular contracture
  • Displaced or unevenly positioned implants
  • Wants to change implant size or type

Technique highlights

  • Ultrasound or MRI assessment before planning
  • Capsule released and a new pocket created
  • Position and symmetry corrected together

Surgical steps

  • Assessment of the existing implant and capsule
  • Old implant removed, capsule treated, new implant placed
  • Close follow-up in the first three months

Recovery & aftercare

  • One night of inpatient care for implant surgery
  • Compression garment worn as prescribed
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 7-10 days
  • No heavy lifting or intense exercise for 4-6 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

Can contracture recur?

It can, so the capsule must be treated thoroughly and after-care followed strictly.

How long after the first surgery?

Usually at least six months, unless a complication requires earlier intervention.
