Revision Breast Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Did your previous breast augmentation, lift, or reduction leave you with unsatisfactory results or complications? Revision breast surgery is a specialized procedure designed to correct issues from prior breast surgeries—whether aesthetic, structural, or medical. It can restore symmetry, fix implant complications, improve scarring, or simply refine results that no longer align with your current goals.

Korea is internationally recognized for its advanced cosmetic surgery techniques, and at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we bring extensive expertise and a customized approach to every revision case. Whether your concern is capsular contracture, implant malposition, volume loss, or general dissatisfaction, we’re here to help you achieve safe, beautiful, and natural-looking results you can feel confident in.

Why Choose Revision Breast Surgery?

Revision breast surgery is ideal for patients who are experiencing:

• Capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around implants)
• Implant rupture, leakage, or deflation
• Unsatisfactory shape, size, or asymmetry
• Implant malposition (bottoming out, lateral displacement, double bubble)
• Rippling or visible implant edges
• Complications following breast lift or reduction
• Aesthetic changes over time due to aging, weight changes, or pregnancy

Whether for medical correction or cosmetic enhancement, revision surgery addresses both form and function to restore breast harmony and confidence.

Types of Revision Breast Surgery Offered

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we tailor every revision plan based on the patient’s current condition, prior surgeries, and desired outcome.

1. Implant Replacement or Removal

• Replaces damaged or outdated implants with newer, safer options
• Adjusts implant size or shape to better fit current preferences
• Complete implant removal with or without fat grafting for natural volume restoration

2. Capsulectomy / Capsulotomy

• Removes or loosens tight scar tissue (capsular contracture)
• Restores softness and mobility of the breast implant

3. Implant Repositioning

• Corrects implant displacement, asymmetry, or double bubble deformity
• Ensures proper implant pocket placement and improved projection

4. Revision Breast Lift

• Addresses sagging, stretched skin, or poor scarring from a previous mastopexy
• Re-sculpts the breast for improved contour and nipple position

5. Scar Revision and Skin Tightening

• Improves the appearance of hypertrophic or wide scars
• May involve laser therapy, re-excision, or skin redraping techniques

Consultation and Planning

Revision breast surgery is significantly more complex than primary procedures and requires careful evaluation and surgical planning. At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our consultations are thorough, compassionate, and honest.

During your consultation, we will:

• Review your medical and surgical history
• Examine breast shape, skin quality, scar condition, and implant position
• Perform imaging if implant rupture or leakage is suspected
• Discuss your current concerns and desired goals
• Provide a step-by-step surgical plan, including all necessary corrections

We’ll also explain any risks, limitations, and realistic outcomes based on your individual anatomy and past surgical factors.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Revision breast surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the complexity of the case. It is usually done as an outpatient procedure, though some patients may be recommended an overnight stay.

Surgical Overview:

1. Anesthesia and Preparation: Administered in a fully accredited surgical facility.
2. Implant Removal or Replacement: Old implants are removed, inspected, and replaced (if desired).
3. Pocket Adjustment: The implant pocket may be reconstructed or reinforced using sutures or internal support materials.
4. Capsule Treatment: Tight or hardened scar tissue is released or removed.
5. Skin and Tissue Correction: Excess skin is trimmed, and nipples may be repositioned if necessary.
6. Closure: Incisions are closed with layered sutures to minimize tension and scarring.

Every step is performed with the utmost care to ensure symmetry, safety, and aesthetic excellence.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from revision breast surgery is generally similar to that of primary surgery, but slight variations may occur depending on the procedure.

Recovery Timeline:

• Days 1–5: Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are normal; pain is managed with medication
• Week 1: Most patients return to light activities
• Weeks 2–4: Swelling decreases, and results begin to take shape
• Months 2–3: Final results become more apparent as healing continues

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including guidance on compression garments, incision care, and follow-up visits.
