What Is a Breast Revision?
Breast revision is a term that refers to procedures intended to exchange or remove older breast implants. Since breast implants are not lifelong devices, they typically need attention every 10 to 20 years to ensure their integrity.
Typically, the goal of a breast revision is to update implant materials and enhance breast appearance by:
- Repositioning the implants
- Increasing or decreasing implant size
- Enhancing new shape
Though the primary objective of breast revision is to remove or exchange older implants, breast revision surgery may also include other procedures, such as a lift or reduction.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Revision or Breast Implant Removal?
Over a breast implant’s life span, the implants and overlying skin change, affecting the appearance and feel of your breasts. By exchanging old implants for those with new, improved materials, breast revision procedures can restore and enhance breast appearance and feel.
Since each patient is unique, breast revision surgery is a highly customized procedure. There are many reasons women consider exchanging or removing their breast implants, including:
- Adjusting the size of breasts and implants
- Addressing discomfort from hardened scar tissue
- Correcting any other implant-associated pain
- Resolving implant migration, leak, or rupture
- Updating the type or style of implants
- You no longer want implants
Am I an Ideal Candidate for Breast Revision?
Generally, candidates for Baton Rouge breast revision surgery include patients in overall good health who are looking to enhance breast implant appearance, are experiencing pain, or are concerned about implant integrity. Dr. Daugherty recommends breast revision candidates:
- Live a healthy lifestyle
- Be at a healthy, stable weight
- Be non-smokers, or willing to quit before surgery
- Be finished with childbearing and breastfeeding
- Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook
- Understand the surgical risks

FAQ
Baton Rouge, LA Breast Revision | Breast Implant Removal
Breast revision procedures are extremely individualized, so the cost of your surgery will depend on your individual needs and aesthetic goals. At your consultation, Dr. Daugherty’s team will give you a breakdown of the costs.
Patients may experience swelling and bruising following a breast revision, disguising your true results. It may take several weeks for swelling to resolve, scars to diminish, and sensations to restore. Your breasts may take six months to a year to feel normal and for results to finalize.
Individual results of a breast implant removal vary based on:
- Implant size
- Scar tissue quantity
- Quality and quantity of remaining breast tissue
Most patients do not have a lengthy recovery period following breast revision and can return to many sedentary jobs within a week or two. However, continue to avoid strenuous physical activities for approximately four to six weeks.
You can resume your usual daily routine in approximately one to two weeks. Please steer clear of all heavy lifting and any activities that involve your chest muscles until Dr. Daugherty approves you to do so.
Dr. Daugherty will sometimes use Galaflex®, an internal bra made of mesh, to help with thin tissues and prevent implant migration. However, the use of this internal mesh entirely depends upon the patients’ circumstances. Dr. Daugherty will only employ this device for operations where it is needed to achieve the best result.
