The most common breast revision surgeries are breast implant replacement and breast implant removal without replacement. However, patients who underwent breast lift surgery (mastopexy) may choose to undergo a second breast lift several years after the first. This is because breasts naturally droop further over time, and a second breast lift can correct this issue. Breast lift revisions can also be performed to correct asymmetries or noticeable scarring that occurred during the breast lift healing process.
Although a second primary breast lift may not appear to be a revision surgery, we still recommend seeing a breast lift revision surgeon who has experience with secondary procedures. They will know how to best perform the procedure while factoring in the results of the first surgery.
