Revision Breast Surgery
Breast revision surgery addresses concerns such as implant complications, changes in breast appearance, or a desire to alter implant size. Dr. Jackie Yee performs breast revision surgery for patients in Miami seeking safe, natural-looking results after a previous breast augmentation.
Revision Breast Surgery
The reasons for undergoing breast revision surgery in Miami range from wanting to alter the size of your implants to correcting complications that occurred following your prior augmentation surgery. Selecting a talented, experienced plastic surgeon is critical when considering surgery to replace breast implants. Miami board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jackie Yee specializes in revision surgeries, which are typically more challenging than an initial breast augmentation.
Replacing your breast implants may be more complex and stressful than the original surgery. Speaking with an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Yee will help you understand your options. Please request a consultation online or call us at (305) 670-9995 to schedule an appointment.
Who are the Best Candidates for Revision Breast Surgery?
Women who undergo breast augmentation surgery occasionally wind up wishing they had opted for larger or smaller implants. Sometimes complications develop, such as scar tissue tightening around the implant or one of the implants collapsing. Whether you’ve had a change of heart about the implants or the implants themselves have changed, revision breast surgery is an option. Other issues that lead women to seek revision surgery include:
- An X-ray shows silicone leaking from its shell
- Implants have shifted position
- Breast tissue volume has changed because of significant weight fluctuations
- Visible rippling of your implants

Revision Breast Surgery
Description
You may feel frustrated and scared when faced with the prospect of having to undergo breast revision surgery, even if it’s because you want to change the implant size. Dr. Yee understands those emotions, and she knows the importance of gaining your trust through honest communication.
Revision surgery may involve removing, replacing, or shifting the position of the existing implant. In some cases, combining a breast lift procedure with revision surgery may improve results.
Revision surgery poses some unique challenges, such as the formation of scar tissue around the implant, that aren’t present during an initial augmentation procedure. But your experience may be similar to when your implants were first inserted. The surgery is performed using general anesthesia or sedation, and you will remain at the surgical facility for several hours until you are ready to return home.
Recovery
Your recovery after revision breast surgery varies depending on what steps Dr. Yee performs to improve your outcome. The discomfort after revision surgery is usually much less than after the primary augmentation. If significant changes occur, the downtime may be longer to ensure the repair or revision heals appropriately.

Past/Current Key Opinion Leader and/or Advisor
"My experience with Dr. Yee was excellent. When I had lost all hope to fix a terrible breast reduction surgery performed in my home country she committed herself to help me fix the damage and took excellent care of me from day one. I am extremely HAPPY with the results and even though my surgery took place close to 2 years ago, she still follows up with me. I would recommend Dr. Yee to anyone and assure them that they would be in great hands. She is the sweetest person I’ve ever met. I’m planning on getting one more surgery with her. I was so blessed to have her as my plastic surgeon.”
