How long will my breast revision results last?
Unless you gain or lose a significant amount of weight or become pregnant, breast revision results will be long-lasting. However, it’s important to know that breast implants will likely need to be replaced. Also, gravity and the effects of aging eventually alter breast size. The weight of the implant used can affect how your breasts appear as time goes on.
There are many different types of implants. Implants are available in different sizes, shapes, and filler material. Talk with your surgeon about which implant is best for you, and how long your specific results are expected to last. For more information about implant types, see detailed procedure information. You’ll need to schedule routine follow-ups with your surgeon to determine the frequency you’ll need to replace your implants.
While results are individual to each patient, breast revision before and after photos can help you assess what a successful breast revision surgery will look like.
What do I need to consider after my breast revision surgery?
To achieve the most beautiful and safe outcome, it’s important you return to your aesthetic plastic surgeon's office for follow-up evaluations at prescribed times and whenever you notice any changes. Do not hesitate to contact your surgeon when you have any questions or concerns.
After a number of years, if you become less satisfied with the appearance of your breasts, you may choose to undergo another breast revision to exchange or remove your implants, or a breast lift to restore a more youthful shape and contour.
