What are the Benefits of Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast revision surgery offers a long list of potential benefits for women who are experiencing unwanted physical, aesthetic, or even psychological issues associated with a previous breast surgery. Some of the most compelling benefits of breast revision surgery include:
- Correct previous surgical error
- Improve aesthetic appearance of breast
- Address breast asymmetry
- Reduce or eliminate pain associated with scar tissue and other irregularities
- Switch implants to the patient's preferred implant type
- Boost self-confidence
- Allow for a better fit in clothing, swimsuits, and undergarments
- Correct previous complications, such as bottoming out, rupture, capsular contracture, and others
- Surgery can often be performed using the same incisions as the initial procedure to minmize new scarring
What is the purpose of Breast Revision surgery?
If you’ve previously had breast reconstruction surgery and are unhappy with the results, a breast revision procedure can help. This surgical treatment will improve the appearance of your breasts with new implant material.
People who have undergone this surgery may opt to have revision surgery for cosmetic reasons. Over time, the breasts can change in shape and size, causing a different result from the initial procedure. Revision surgery can help you alter the shape of your reconstructed breasts to fit your current goals.
In some cases, scar tissue formation after reconstructive breast surgery can cause uncomfortable side effects. Breast revision surgery can remove scar tissue in the area to eliminate discomfort and pain. Plus, if scarring on the breasts is visible due to scar tissue, this procedure can reduce the appearance of scarring.
Revision surgery may also resolve problems due to a ruptured implant or allow you to switch from one type of breast implant to another (i.e. saline to silicone, or vice versa).

Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
Dr. Watt and his team are simply the best. He takes his time during your consultation, answers all your questions, you can call anytime, he's funny and empathetic, I absolutely love him. I had a breast revision with lift and liposuction on my stomach and love handles. My new body is amazing and I love wearing bathing suits again! My incisions are minimal and almost nonexistent now. I highly recommend Watt Plastic Surgery.
I would give Dr. Watt more than 5 stars if possible! I highly recommend Dr. Watt and his amazing staff for breast augmentation & lift procedure. I went to Dr. Watt for a breast revision surgery and couldn’t be happier with my results. I had a very bad experience with another doctor in Tampa ending with deformed breasts and implants that were misplaced and needing revision surgery after only 9 months post op. Dr. Watt was able to get me the look I desired (small, perky, round breasts) even with a difficult revision surgery for a lift with implants. He’s amazing and does incredible work! I know over 15 girls personally who have had great experiences with him as well. His staff is beyond helpful, he does surgery in house which is super convenient and the overall surgery was extremely chill and seamless. I feel like a new person and I’m so glad I got the revision. 10/10 recommend the best breast doc in Tampa!
Dr. Watt approached my surgery in a way the made me feel comfortable and confident in the end result. I was able to get the support I needed pre & post-surgery. The OR and clinic staff were also fantastic. I’m one month out and already have stellar results from my breast revision. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What to expect from surgery
Generally, breast revision surgery can be completed three months after the initial reconstructive procedure. This patient is generally under anesthesia for this procedure. The incision will preferably be made at the incision site of the initial surgery to minimize scarring. Depending on the patient’s needs, we can perform liposuction to transfer healthy fat tissue from other areas to the breasts. This practice can help achieve natural fullness in the breasts.
If we need to remove scar tissue from the breasts, the scar tissue and the implant may need to be removed. We would then position a new implant and close all incisions with sutures. After revision surgery, patients generally only need to rest for a few days before resuming most regular activities.
What are the benefits?
- Breast revision surgery can improve the feel of reconstructed breasts, allowing for comfort during daily activities.
- Breast revision surgery can update the appearance of your breasts to match your current goals.
- Breast revision surgery can resolve complications from a ruptured implant.
- Breast revision surgery can update the material of your breast implant for safety, comfort, and aesthetic reasons.

About UsBreast Revision FAQs
Can a breast revision treat loose skin?
When you are getting your implants exchanged or removed, you may want to have excess skin removed during your surgery. After hearing your goals and assessing your current implants, Dr. Tony Watt can discuss the need for a breast lift to remove loose skin. If you lose a significant amount of weight, get pregnant, or breastfeed after augmentation surgery, a revision with a lift can help you get better results.
Will there be new scars after breast revision?
Whenever possible, Dr. Watt will make incisions for revision surgery in the original augmentation incisions. If this is not possible, Dr. Watt will place the new incisions where they are least visible. Revision surgery typically uses a transaxillary incision (through the armpit), a periareolar incision (on the lower edge of the areola), an inframammary incision (beneath the fold of the breast), or TUBA incision (transumbilical, through the belly button). Dr. Watt or a member of his team will go over scar care instructions, so your incisions heal smoothly and blend with your skin.
Do I have to change my implants?
While implants can last a long time, they will require replacement at some point. Once you've had breast augmentation surgery, it is important to have your implants checked regularly so Dr. Watt can help you determine when your implants need to be replaced. With so many advances in the medical field, you may prefer the new implant types and shapes to achieve a better outcome from breast revision surgery.
