Personalized breast revision surgery to address concerns after breast augmentation, including capsular contracture and implant complications.
Breast implant revision is the surgical removal and/or replacement of silicone or saline implants. This procedure is utilized in order to change the size or shape of previously placed breast implants, or to correct complications that arose from a previous breast augmentation. It can also be to completely remove a previous implant and/or the surrounding implant capsule.
We're excited to offer our patients the opportunity to participate in an ongoing clinical trial investigating an innovative treatment for capsular contracture—a common complication after breast implant surgery where the natural scar tissue capsule around the implant tightens and becomes constrictive, often causing discomfort or distortion.
In this randomized, controlled study, participants undergo revision surgery, and may be assigned to one of two treatment groups, one of which involves the placement of surgical mesh. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the use of mesh in revision surgery for capsular contracture. Your involvement in this study may provide benefits to you, and may also help contribute to advancing medical research in breast implant outcomes.
You may qualify if you:

OkBreast revision surgery offers effective solutions for capsular contracture and other implant-related concerns. At Vivify Plastic Surgery, Dr. Buchanan carefully evaluates the condition of the implants, surrounding tissue, and implant pocket to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
Depending on the severity of capsular contracture and the patient’s goals, revision surgery may involve removing or releasing the scar tissue capsule (capsulectomy), replacing or removing the implant, or adjusting the implant pocket. In some cases, implants that were originally placed above the chest muscle may be repositioned beneath the muscle to help reduce recurrence and improve overall breast shape and feel.
