Breast Implant Revision Newport News Williamsburg | Michael Cohen MD

Breast Revision Surgery in Williamsburg & Newport News, VA

Breast revision surgery is a specialized procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast operation, most commonly breast augmentation. While many patients are pleased with their initial outcome, changes over time — such as implant aging, shifting breast position, scar tissue formation, or changes in aesthetic preferences — can lead to dissatisfaction or functional concerns. Breast revision surgery addresses these issues by refining breast shape, correcting complications, and producing results that better align with each patient’s goals and anatomy.

Every breast revision is unique and highly personalized. Depending on your concerns, surgery may involve replacing old implants with newer ones, adjusting the implant pocket for better symmetry and position, removing scar tissue (capsulectomy), or correcting implant malposition or asymmetry. In some cases, combining revision with a breast lift (mastopexy) enhances breast shape by tightening skin and repositioning the nipple to achieve a more youthful contour. This individualized approach ensures both aesthetic improvement and long‑term comfort.

Women often consider breast revision for a variety of reasons, including changes in implant size preferences, discomfort due to implant complications, visible rippling, implant rupture, or unwanted breast asymmetry. Because breast implants are not lifetime devices, many patients eventually require revision or replacement throughout their lifetime. A thorough consultation with a board‑certified plastic surgeon helps identify the cause of concerns, outline treatment options, and create a custom surgical plan that supports natural‑looking, balanced results and improved confidence.
