Breast Re-Augmentation, or Breast Explant and Augmentation is a common procedure for women who’ve had implants for several years and are ready to address changes in their body, appearance, or personal preferences. Whether your implants are over 10 years old, or you’ve experienced weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or shifting aesthetic goals—this surgery offers the opportunity to refine your results.
Breast implant revision can involve replacing your current implants, adjusting size or profile, correcting asymmetry, or addressing complications such as rippling, capsular contracture, or implant displacement. In some cases, patients choose to remove their implants entirely or pair revision with a breast lift for a more refreshed, natural contour.
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our experienced surgeons will create a customized surgical plan based on your anatomy, previous procedures, and current goals. We’re here to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way—with results that reflect who you are today.
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we believe that revision surgery should reflect where you are now—not just where you were when you first chose breast augmentation. Whether you’re looking to update your implant size, address a complication, or simply refine your results, your procedure will be tailored to your goals, preferences, and body.
Breast implant revision can involve replacing one or both implants, changing from saline to silicone (or vice versa), repositioning the implants, or combining revision with a breast lift for enhanced shape and support, can also include removing breast implants (explant surgery) with or without a breast lift/ reduction. Every surgical plan is based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic vision.
Many patients choose revision surgery to improve their comfort, confidence, or the way their results align with how they feel today. Whether you’ve had implants for over a decade or you’re experiencing changes in the way they look or feel, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
The cost of breast implant revision at the South Florida Center starts at $1,999 (not including anesthesia and surgeon fees). Final pricing will vary depending on the complexity of your case, implant selection, and whether additional procedures are included.
To make your procedure more accessible, we offer flexible financing through trusted third-party providers with a simple application process. Our team is here to guide you through every step of your revision journey.
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we proudly offer the latest in breast revision technology—the Internal Mesh Bra technique—for patients seeking added support and longevity in their results.
The mesh is placed during surgery and gradually dissolves over time as your body builds its own collagen and support structure in its place. This can be especially beneficial for patients undergoing revision after implant shifting, weight loss, or multiple prior surgeries.
Your surgeon may recommend incorporating the internal mesh bra into your revision plan depending on your anatomy, tissue quality, and implant type. When used strategically, it can contribute to more stable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing results.
There are many valid, medically recognized reasons why someone may need breast implant revision surgery—even years after a successful initial augmentation. Whether you’re experiencing physical discomfort or changes in appearance, revision surgery is a common and safe solution.
One of the most frequent complications, capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant hardens, causing tightness, distortion, or discomfort. Revision surgery removes or releases the capsule and replaces the implant as needed.
Saline implants visibly deflate when ruptured, while silicone ruptures are often detected through imaging (known as “silent ruptures”). In both cases, revision is needed to remove and replace the damaged implant.
Over time, implants may shift out of position—causing asymmetry, a “double bubble” appearance, or discomfort. Revision can reposition or replace the implants and correct the supporting tissue.
This occurs when the implant descends too low on the chest, creating an unbalanced look or causing the nipple to appear too high. It’s often corrected using surgical mesh or internal sutures to reinforce the lower pole of the breast.
Visible folds or ripples in the implant—especially with saline or underfilled implants—can occur over time or with weight loss. Revision may involve switching to a different implant type, size, or placement to minimize visibility.
Some patients choose to go larger, smaller, or switch from saline to silicone (or vice versa) based on personal preferences or lifestyle changes. Revision makes it possible to update your look safely.
This refers to a visible crease or bulge beneath the breast caused by implant displacement or improper surgical pocket creation. It can be corrected through pocket adjustment and implant repositioning.
Even with a well-performed primary surgery, natural anatomy or aging can cause one breast to appear different over time. Revision can address shape, size, or nipple position to restore balance and symmetry.
Breast implant revision can help reverse changes caused by aging, weight fluctuations, or implant shifting. Whether you’re updating older implants or correcting previous results, revision surgery can restore a smoother, lifted, and more natural breast contour.
Asymmetry, implant rotation, or shifting over time can affect balance and nipple positioning. Revision allows your surgeon to realign and refine breast shape and nipple-areola placement for a more harmonious and proportionate result.
Correcting implant issues like rippling, bottoming out, or size mismatch can improve how your clothing fits and feels—especially bras, swimwear, and fitted tops. Many patients feel more at ease and confident in their bodies post-revision.
If you’re experiencing tightness, pain, or pressure due to capsular contracture or implant malposition, revision surgery can relieve discomfort while improving your aesthetic results at the same time.
As personal preferences change over time, some patients opt to go smaller, larger, or switch to a different implant material. Revision gives you the flexibility to choose what feels right for your current goals and lifestyle.
When appropriate, internal mesh support (like the DuraSorb mesh bra) can be added to reinforce tissue and maintain implant position—helping improve the longevity and integrity of your results.
Whether your revision is medically necessary or personally motivated, many patients report feeling more confident and emotionally at ease after adjusting their results to reflect their current stage of life.

30 - 1 día antes de la intervención
Before your breast implant revision, you’ll complete a pre-operative consultation, medical clearance, bloodwork, and pre-op photos. Your care team will provide detailed instructions to help you feel fully prepared and informed.
Día de la cirugía
Breast implant revision typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. It’s performed under general anesthesia, and patients return home the same day with a surgical bra in place to reduce swelling and support the new breast shape.
1 día postoperatorio
Expect to rest, limit upper body movement, and avoid lifting your arms above shoulder level. Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common during the first 24–48 hours. You’ll be instructed to wear your surgical bra full-time to support healing.
1 semana postoperatoria
You’ll attend a follow-up appointment so your surgeon can assess your healing and incision sites. Most patients begin feeling more comfortable at this stage but should still avoid lifting, stretching, or intense activity.
1 mes postoperatorio
Swelling begins to resolve, and your breasts will start settling into their new position. Many patients can resume non-strenuous daily activities and light exercise with clearance from their surgeon. You may continue wearing a supportive bra as recommended.
2-12 meses postoperatorio
At this stage, most patients feel fully healed and are cleared for all physical activity. Breast shape and implant position continue to refine as residual swelling resolves. Any incision lines will gradually fade with proper scar care and sun protection.
6–12 Months Post-Op
Your final results will become more evident, and your breasts will feel softer and more natural. Long-term satisfaction is highest during this period as the implants settle fully into place. Scars will continue to mature and lighten over time.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Pinnella. He was so kind and easy to talk to. He chatted with me before surgery like I was a family member. Dr. Pinnella was very honest and knew exactly what was going to work for my body. He won’t do anything that he knows isn’t going to work for your body, nor will he do anything that he thinks won’t look good. This doctor definitely wants you to be happy with yourself after your procedure. I would choose him over and over again.

Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure performed to replace, reposition, or remove existing breast implants. It can also address complications, aesthetic concerns, or changes in personal preferences over time.
You may be a candidate for revision if you’re experiencing issues like capsular contracture, implant rupture, visible rippling, size dissatisfaction, or changes in breast shape. A consultation with a plastic surgeon can determine if revision is appropriate.
FDA guidance does not consider breast implants as lifetime medical devices. Many patients will benefit from replacement or revision within 15 years or sooner. Some choose to update earlier due to changes in their body, aesthetic goals, or implant-related complications.
Common reasons include capsular contracture, implant rupture or deflation, asymmetry, rippling, implant malposition (like bottoming out), or the desire to change implant size, shape, or material.
Not always. Depending on your goals and the condition of each implant, your surgeon may recommend replacing one or both. In some cases, only repositioning or removing the implants is needed.
Yes. Breast implant revision is an opportunity to change implant type, size, or profile. Many patients choose to switch based on feel, appearance, or updated preferences.
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue hardens around the implant, causing pain or distortion. Revision surgery involves removing the capsule (capsulectomy) and possibly replacing the implant.
Most patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks and resume full activity in 4–6 weeks. Complete healing and final results are usually seen within 3 to 6 months.
In most cases, your surgeon will use existing incision lines to minimize new scarring. If adjustments require a different approach, any additional incisions will be placed as discreetly as possible.
Yes. Many patients benefit from combining implant revision with a breast lift to improve shape, nipple position, and overall contour—especially after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.
The internal mesh bra (using a material like DuraSorb) is a dissolvable surgical mesh that reinforces breast tissue and supports implant position. It’s commonly used in revisions where tissue is weakened or implants have shifted.
Yes, removing implants without replacement will reduce breast volume. Many patients opt to pair implant removal with a lift or fat transfer for a natural, lifted result.
Look for a plastic surgeon with experience in complex revision cases, who offers a range of implant options, and who can provide a customized surgical plan based on your goals, anatomy, and prior procedures.
