Breast Revision Surgery - FAQs
How do I know if I need a revision?
If you’re experiencing discomfort, uneven results, or aren’t happy with how your breasts look or feel after surgery, you may be a candidate. A consultation is the best way to get clear, personalized guidance.
Will revision surgery be more complicated than my original procedure?
In many cases, yes. Revision surgeries require advanced planning and technique due to scar tissue, previous implants, or anatomical changes. Dr. Alsubaie has extensive experience handling complex cases safely.
Can I switch from saline to silicone implants?
Absolutely. Many women choose to switch implant type, size, or shape during revision. Dr. Alsubaie will help you explore your options and select what’s best for your goals.
What if I want my implants removed and not replaced?
That’s an option too. Dr. Alsubaie performs explant procedures and can include a lift or fat grafting for a natural shape without implants.
How soon after my original surgery can I revise it?
You’ll typically need to wait at least 6 months after your initial procedure to allow full healing and evaluate your results. In some urgent cases (like rupture or severe asymmetry), earlier revision may be necessary.
Is breast revision surgery more painful than my first procedure?
Not usually. While each case is different, most patients report that recovery from revision surgery is similar to or easier than their original procedure. Discomfort is typically well managed with medication and personalized care. Dr. Alsubaie will walk you through what to expect based on the specifics of your case.
How long should I wait after my first surgery before considering a revision?
In most cases, it’s best to wait at least 6 months before pursuing revision surgery. This allows time for swelling to resolve and implants to settle, giving a clear view of the final result. However, if you’re experiencing significant issues such as rupture, pain, or infection, earlier intervention may be appropriate.
Can I switch to a different implant size or type during revision?
Yes. Breast revision is often an opportunity to change implant size, shape, material (silicone vs. saline), or placement. Whether you’re downsizing, upsizing, or choosing a different aesthetic altogether, Dr. Alsubaie will help guide you toward the safest and most flattering option.
What if I want to remove my implants completely?
Dr. Alsubaie offers full explant surgery, with or without a lift or fat transfer. If you want to remove your implants and restore a natural shape, he can help you create a result that feels authentic and balanced, without sacrificing aesthetics.
Will I have more scarring after revision surgery?
Revision surgery may require additional incisions, but Dr. Alsubaie uses advanced closure techniques to minimize visible scarring. Often, he can use or revise existing scar lines to maintain a clean, discreet result.
