With Dr. Mark Kohout
What is Breast Revision?
Breast Revision is a surgical procedure that adjusts the results of a previous breast augmentation or reconstruction. Patients may seek this surgery due to dissatisfaction with implant size or shape, complications like rupture, or changes in breast appearance. The procedure can involve replacing or removing implants and addressing other aesthetic concerns to achieve the desired look.
Individual results vary due to personal health factors and genetics, and all surgical procedures carry inherent risks that should be discussed with a qualified health professional.
Who May Benefit
Choosing to undergo a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure is a significant decision that requires a clear understanding of your personal goals and physical needs. While every surgery is unique, certain criteria help determine if a patient is likely to achieve the best possible results and a safe recovery.
- Alters aesthetics by addressing size or shape issues.
- Addresses complications from prior surgeries.
- Increases comfort with better-fitting implants.
- Offers a more desired appearance.

Am I a Candidate?
Determining if surgery is appropriate for you requires a thorough health assessment. Generally, we look for patients who meet the following benchmarks to assist in a smoother recovery:
- Dissatisfaction
- Complications
- Aesthetic Changes
- Lifestyle Impact
How is the procedure performed?
Anaesthesia Administered
General Anaesthesia is administered for patient comfort and safety during the procedure.
Incision Placement
The surgeon makes an incision, usually in the same location as the previous surgery, to remove or replace the implants and address any complications.
Closure & Recovery
After the adjustments, the incisions are closed with sutures, and the patient is monitored during recovery before being sent home with post-operative care instructions.
What is the Recovery like?
Recovery from Breast Revision typically involves a few key stages.
- Swelling and discomfort can be managed with medication.
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks.
- Regular follow-ups are necessary to monitor the healing process.
- Most patients resume normal activities within 6-8 weeks.
What are the Risks?
Breast revision surgery carries certain risks that patients should be aware of. One potential risk is infection, which can occur at the incision site and may require additional treatment. Another concern is the possibility of complications related to anaesthesia, which can affect the body’s response during surgery.
Other risks may include:
- Implant Issues
- Scarring
- Altered Sensation (temporary or permanent)
- Unsatisfactory Results
What are the Costs?
The cost of breast revision surgery varies based on factors such as the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses, including pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and required medications, can also influence the total price.
Many clinics offer financing options to make the procedure costs more manageable.
