Revision procedures depend on the details of your revision; the difference between implant correction, breast lifts, breast asymmetry correction, or a combination of corrections ranges a great deal. Breast revision surgery can consist of a combination of techniques to address different concerns. Our surgeons will guide you through each step through consultation, surgery, and recovery to ensure that you know exactly what to expect based on the nuances of your surgical procedure. You can learn more about the specifics of breast procedures by looking at our pages for Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, and Breast Reduction.

Recovery from surgery will depend on the specific procedures that are part of your revision surgery. Recovery will vary from 2-8 weeks, based on how invasive your surgery is. Your recovery will be gradual from day one after surgery and your surgeon will guide you through this process. We will follow you closely at the start of your recovery, and will continue to follow up with support at regular intervals long term.

Depending on the type of revision, you will likely have bandages that will remain in place until your first follow up visit. You may have intravenous pain medication if you stay in hospital and you will be given oral pain medications and antibiotics for your initial recovery at home. Depending on the type of procedure and your support at home, it can be arranged for a nurse to come to your home at regular intervals to help with both drain care and bandages.
