Breast Augmentation Revision Recovery
Breast augmentation revision recovery can be as quick as one week for patients undergoing a simple implant removal and replacement. This is because the breast pocket is already defined and the scar lining called the capsule is already formed. Since the breast capsule is already formed, the implant cannot migrate since its final resting position is already defined.
For patients requiring capsule modification or breast pocket alteration, the breast capsule will be modified with either a release, partial excision of, or hemming out the scar tissue. Breast augmentation revision recovery for these patients requires two weeks in order to allow for the new breast pocket to be established.
