Implant Revision

Breast implant surgery usually requires a degree of maintenance. This can be due to various reasons – natural breast droop over the implant with time, pregnancy/breastfeeding-related changes or you may feel that your implant size may not suit your body shape . Breast implants can also degrade over time causing them to rupture, rotate, or develop a painful capsular contracture that can even distort the shape and feeling of your breasts.

During your consultation, Dr Victoria will work with you to establish what you would like to achieve in your implant revision and together, come up with a bespoke surgical plan to optimize your appearance.
