At Klinika, breast implant revision surgery is performed by Dr Rizk, cosmetic surgeon, in a doctor-led clinical environment. Implant revision may be required to address complications, change implant size or type, or refine the outcome of previous breast surgery.

Breast implant revision involves removing, replacing, or adjusting breast implants. This procedure is tailored to your goals and circumstances, whether correcting complications, updating older implants, or achieving a new aesthetic outcome.

The surgical approach depends on your needs and implant history. Options may include:

  • Implant exchange – replacing existing implants with new ones
  • Capsulectomy or capsulotomy – addressing scar tissue around the implant
  • Implant repositioning – correcting implant malposition or asymmetry
  • Revision with breast lift – improving shape and nipple position for a balanced contour
  • Revision with fat transfer – adding soft tissue volume for natural enhancement

Revision surgery is performed under general anaesthetic. The exact method depends on whether implants are exchanged, repositioned, or combined with other techniques. Surgery times and recovery vary depending on complexity.

Every revision surgery at Klinika begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Rizk. This includes a review of your implant history, examination, and discussion of your goals to determine the safest and most appropriate surgical plan.

Our clinic offers personalised consultations to discuss suitable non-surgical options for facial rejuvenation. Our qualified practitioners tailor treatments to help address patient concerns in various facial areas, following strict safety and regulatory standards. All procedures are conducted under clinical supervision to maintain the highest standards of patient care.

Why Patients Consider Revision Surgery

Desire to change implant size, shape, or type

  • Correction of implant-related complications (rupture, capsular contracture, malposition, rippling)
  • Refinement of breast symmetry or contour after previous surgery
  • Replacement of ageing implants
  • Combination with lift (mastopexy) to restore position and firmness

Am I a Suitable Candidate?

You may be a candidate for implant revision if you:

  • Have medical or cosmetic concerns about existing implants
  • Are in good overall health and at a stable weight
  • Have realistic expectations and understand the complexity of revision surgery
  • Are seeking improvement, not perfection, of breast contour and symmetry

Recovery and Aftercare

Week 1–2: swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected; supportive bra recommended

  • Week 3–4: gradual return to daily activities; shape continues to refine
  • Week 6+: most patients return to full activity as cleared by Dr Rizk

Risks and Considerations

Revision surgery is often more complex than first-time implant placement. Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, recurrence of complications, and the potential need for further procedures. These will be discussed thoroughly in consultation.

How is revision different from implant removal?

Revision usually involves replacing or adjusting implants, whereas removal may involve permanent explantation with or without lift or fat transfer.

Do I have to replace my implants after a certain time?

Implants are not lifetime devices. Replacement may be considered if complications arise, or to update implants after many years.

Is revision more painful than initial surgery?

Recovery can be similar, though complexity and healing vary. Dr Rizk will guide you on what to expect.

Can fat transfer be used with revision?

Yes - fat transfer may be added to soften contours, correct rippling, or improve symmetry.
