What Is Breast Implant Revision?

Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure that replaces your current implants with new ones, refining your breast shape and enhancing your comfort. While many patients swap their implants for cosmetic reasons, revision is also used to treat the following complications:

Asymmetry
Rupture
Rippling
Malpositioning
Capsular contracture

During surgery, we can change your implant size, shape, and type. If you’re exploring implant revision to combat BIA-ALCL or BII, we may swap your textured implants for smooth ones.

When you choose Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center for your breast implant revision in Houston, you choose an experience rooted in clinical excellence, compassionate care, and balanced, natural-looking outcomes. Our practice is led by Dr. Michael Eisemann, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience.

A Confidential Consultation

Your journey will begin with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Eisemann. There, you’ll discuss why you want to replace your implants, your aesthetic goals, and your surgical history, and Dr. Eisemann will assess your breast health, skin quality, and implant health to determine if revision is right for you. Together, you’ll choose your new implant before Dr. Eisemann gets started on your custom surgical plan.

What to Expect From Your Breast Implant Revision in Houston

At Eisemann, breast implant revisions are performed on an outpatient basis at our private, QUAD A-accredited surgical center in Houston. Depending on your needs, we may administer general anesthesia or our signature IV sedation with nerve block to prevent pain.

During surgery, Dr. Eisemann will follow the incision patterns from your primary augmentation to minimize post-op scarring. Once incisions have been made, he’ll carefully remove the old implants and scar tissue from the breast, adjusting the implant pocket, or capsule, as necessary to accommodate the new implants. All incisions will be closed with small sutures to promote consistent healing.

Patient-Centered Recovery

Recovery after a breast implant revision in Houston typically involves swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the chest, which should subside within two weeks. Many patients find that healing after a revision is smoother than after their initial augmentation. We’ll provide you with a specialized surgical bra to help reduce swelling and support your tissues as they heal.

Most patients resume normal activities, including gentle movement, desk work, and social gatherings, within two weeks. You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise for at least four weeks to allow your body to recover.

A Personalized Post-Op Process

After your procedure, we’ll share a customized recovery plan tailored specifically to your needs. This plan may include the following items:

Incision site care and cleaning protocols
Supportive garment guidance
Recovery clothing options
Hygiene recommendations
Sleep position restrictions
Activity limitations
Swelling and pain management strategies
Side effects to monitor

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to our Houston office for regular follow-up appointments with our team. There, Dr. Eisemann will check the health of your implants, remove any remaining sutures, and approve you to resume high-impact activities like running and weight lifting.

Completing Your Transformation

Many of our Houston patients take their breast implant revision as an opportunity to achieve a more comprehensive body rejuvenation.

Complementary procedures include the following:

Breast lift
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
Arm lift
Liposuction

Breast Implant Revision Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I wait before replacing my implants for cosmetic reasons?

Every patient’s timeline is different, and there’s no fixed schedule for implant revisions. In general, implants should be replaced every 10-15 years, as they are not lifetime devices, but aesthetic-based revisions can be performed sooner.

Is breast implant revision more complex than a primary breast augmentation?

Yes. In a breast implant revision, Dr. Eisemann must take into account existing incision patterns, scar tissue, and implant-related complications. This is why we build customized surgical plans for every patient, ensuring your procedure is fully tailored to your aesthetic desires and medical needs.

How long will my new implants last?

Your new implants will last 10-15 years, like all implants. Breast implant revision resets the clock on your replacement timeline. If, for example, you received a revision after eight years, you do not need to get them replaced in two years, when your original implants would require revision. You’ll be due for a replacement within 10-15 years of your revision procedure.
