Breast Revision

Dr. Marshall can perform your revision surgery even if he wasn’t your original surgeon. Revision surgery can be more difficult compared to the original augmentation, especially if you want dramatic changes or have problems, which is why it is important to choose a surgeon like Dr. Marshall who has years of advanced training and experience in breast surgery. Dr. Marshall also invites his patients to return for revision surgery after their original breast augmentation surgery if they notice an issue or would like a change.

When you are having your implants exchanged or removed, you may want to have excess skin removed during your surgery. After hearing your goals and evaluating your current implants, Dr. Marshall can discuss the need for a breast lift to remove sagging skin. If you lose a significant amount of weight, become pregnant, or breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery, a revision combined with a lift can help you get better results.

If possible, Dr. Marshall will try to make incisions for revision surgery in the same place as your original augmentation incisions. However, if this is not possible, he will place the revision incisions where they are least visible. Revision surgery may use a transaxillary incision (through the armpit), a periareolar incision ( along the lower edge of the areola), an inframammary incision (under the breast fold), or TUBA incision (transumbilical, through the belly button). Dr. Marshall or a member of his team will go over scar care management so your incisions heal flat and blend with your normal skin.

Although implants are long lasting, they do require replacement eventually. Once you’ve had augmentation surgery, it’s important to have your implants checked at least once a year so Dr. Marshall can help you decide if your implants should be replaced. With so many advances in medical technology, you may prefer the new implant shapes and types to get a better look from breast revision surgery.

Results from breast revision are long-lasting, especially when high-quality implants and updated surgical techniques are used. However, natural aging and lifestyle factors can still influence long-term breast appearance. Dr. Marshall personalizes each revision plan to support long-term stability and help patients enjoy results that complement their natural shape. With careful follow-up and guidance from Dr. Marshall, many individuals maintain improved breast contours for many years.
