What Is Breast Implant Revision Surgery?
Implant revision surgery usually involves replacing existing implants, and it is highly individualized. Dr. Wright will evaluate your current implants, discuss your concerns, and create a customized surgical plan designed to restore both the appearance and health of your breasts. The plan depends on the reason you’re seeking implant revision surgery.
Why Patients Choose Breast Implant Revision
Patients decide to undergo breast implant revision surgery for many reasons, including:
- Changing implant size or profile
- Wanting a different type of implant (such as replacing a saline implant with cohesive silicone gel implants)
- Significant weight fluctuations
- Implant rupture or deflation
- Capsular contracture (tight scar tissue around the implant)
- Implant malposition, such as bottoming out or asymmetry
- Visible rippling or changes following pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
Revision surgery may involve reshaping the implant pocket or combining the procedure with a breast lift, depending on your goals and anatomy.

Advanced Techniques for Complex Revision
Breast implant revision often requires more than simply replacing implants. Having trained in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Wright uses advanced techniques to address the underlying cause of implant-related concerns while improving long-term support and stability.
In select cases, he may recommend an internal bra technique, which involves placing a soft biologic or mesh-based scaffold to reinforce weakened breast tissue and strengthen the implant pocket. This added support can be especially beneficial for patients with stretched skin, an implant that has bottomed out, recurrent sagging, or implant malposition following previous breast surgery.
The goal is not only to correct the immediate concern but also to create a more stable foundation that helps maintain implant position and preserve a natural-looking breast contour for years to come.

Monitoring Your Breast Implants
Many implant concerns develop gradually and may not cause noticeable symptoms. That’s why ongoing monitoring is an important part of long-term breast health.
Wright Plastic Surgery offers complimentary in-office ultrasound breast implant screenings for eligible breast augmentation patients beginning 5 years after surgery. High-resolution ultrasound provides a convenient way to evaluate implant integrity and screen for concerns such as silent rupture or capsular contracture. The FDA recommends routine imaging for silicone breast implants beginning 5 to 6 years after implantation and every 2 to 3 years thereafter.
Implant Removal Is Also an Option
Not every patient undergoing revision wants new implants. Some women choose to permanently remove their implants because of lifestyle changes, personal preferences, or implant-related concerns. In these cases, Dr. Wright can discuss whether breast implant removal alone or implant removal combined with a breast lift will best achieve your desired outcome.
