Breast Revision Surgery in Beverly Hills
Restore Your Confidence and Refine Your Results
Breast surgery should be a one-time journey to confidence, but for many, the results fall short. Whether you are dealing with painful scar tissue, shifting implants, or the shape that simply doesn’t look right anymore, the reality often doesn’t match the vision. Every glance in the mirror becomes a reminder of a procedure that didn’t go as planned, turning what should be a joy into a daily source of stress.
It doesn’t have to stay this way. At Shape You Deserve in Beverly Hills, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Ashu Garg specializes in personalized breast revision surgery.
What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast revision surgery corrects issues from a previous breast procedure to improve appearance, address complications, or update implants and breast shape to match your current aesthetic goals. Every revision is different. Your procedure might involve implant exchange, implant removal, scar tissue treatment, correction of implant position, breast tissue reshaping, or nipple adjustments depending on your specific needs.
Why Women Choose Breast Revision
Patients seek breast revision surgery in Beverly Hills for several reasons:
- Complications from prior surgery like implant rupture, capsular contracture, or uneven implant placement
- Desire to change implant size, projection, or overall look
- Correcting nipple placement or projection after previous surgery
- Changes from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging that altered breast shape
When to Consider Breast Implant Revision
Some revision cases stem from personal preference, while others involve physical changes that need evaluation.
Warning Signs You Might Need Revision
Firmness or discomfort: Your breast feels unusually tight or uncomfortable, which could indicate scar tissue changes
Visible distortion: Your implant appears higher, lower, wider, or closer to the center than it should
Growing asymmetry: One breast sits or looks noticeably different than the other
Rippling: You can see implant edges through thin tissue areas
Double bubble: A visible double contour where the implant edge creates a line across the breast
Waterfall deformity: Breast tissue droops below the implant
Rupture concerns: You have symptoms or imaging results suggesting implant failure
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, an evaluation at our Beverly Hills practice clarifies what’s happening and which correction options make sense for you.

Benefits of Breast Revision Surgery in Beverly Hills
Women choose breast revision to make their breasts look and feel right again.
- Restores balanced, symmetrical breast appearance
- Corrects implant positioning problems like implants sitting too low, too wide, or unevenly
- Treats capsular contracture causing firmness, discomfort, and shape distortion
- Allows implant exchange to update size, profile, or type based on your goals today
- Improves nipple placement or overall proportions when shape has shifted over time
- Helps clothing fit better and boosts confidence in your daily life
Are You a Good Candidate for Breast Revision Surgery?
You might be a good fit for breast revision in Beverly Hills if:
- Your previous breast procedure created concerns with shape, symmetry, comfort, or implant position
- Breast appearance changed after pregnancy, weight shifts, or aging
- You want to downsize, upsize, change implant type, or remove implants completely
- Your overall health supports safe surgery and reliable healing
- You have realistic expectations based on your tissue quality and anatomy
Timing matters in revision cases. If your original procedure was recent, it’s usually best to let tissues fully settle unless you have a complication requiring earlier intervention.
Breast Revision Surgery Cost in Beverly Hills
Breast revision pricing varies more than primary breast surgery because revision ranges from straightforward implant exchange to complex pocket reconstruction and scar tissue treatment. The cost depends on the specific corrections needed, whether implants are removed, replaced, or repositioned, whether capsular contracture requires treatment, whether a breast lift is necessary for shape and nipple position, and facility fees, anesthesia, and operating time.
Shape You Deserve provides transparent pricing and financing options. Your final quote comes after an in-person consultation once we’ve confirmed your surgical plan.
How Dr. Garg Plans Your Breast Revision in Beverly Hills
Successful revision surgery starts with detailed planning. During your consultation, Dr. Garg reviews:
- Your surgical history and implant details, when available
- Current breast shape, skin quality, nipple position, and symmetry
- Implant position concerns that might require pocket repair
- Signs of scar capsule tightening, suggesting capsular contracture
- Whether imaging or implant surveillance is appropriate for your implant type and timeline
Bringing your implant records speeds up decision-making, but we can move forward with a physical exam and develop a revision strategy based on our findings even without them.
Types of Breast Revision Procedures in Beverly Hills
Dr. Garg tailors the revision technique to the specific concern and the condition of the tissues.
Breast Implant Revision
Implant exchange replaces older implants or updates size and profile to better match your current goals. This option works well when you want a different look, better fit for your frame, or refreshed results after lifestyle or body changes.
Capsular Contracture Revision
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around an implant tightens and becomes unusually firm, potentially causing discomfort and distortion. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, this is one of the most common complications requiring revision. Treatment addresses the scar capsule and rebuilds a healthier pocket environment.
Breast Lift Revision
A breast lift is included in revision when the skin envelope has stretched, nipples sit too low, or breast tissue has settled below the implant. This matters in cases like waterfall deformity, where natural tissue droops below the implant position.
Asymmetry Correction
Breast asymmetry can develop after initial surgery or worsen over time. Correction involves adjusting implant size, position, or breast tissue on one or both sides to create better balance and symmetry.
The Breast Revision Surgery Procedure
Once anesthesia is administered, your breast revision procedure follows a structured approach:
- Evaluation of the implant pocket, breast tissue, and scar capsule
- Implant removal, exchange, or repositioning based on the plan
- Capsular work if contracture or pocket issues are present
- Pocket repair to correct malposition and improve stability
- Reshaping breast tissue and refining nipple position when needed
- Layered closure designed to support healing and scar quality
Recovery After Breast Revision Surgery
Recovery varies based on what the revision includes, but most patients experience swelling, bruising, and tightness that improve gradually. A supportive surgical bra is commonly used to protect the result, and activity restrictions are typically required for several weeks. Final shape continues to refine as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
Implant Safety and Follow-Up Planning
Implants aren’t lifetime devices, and regular follow-up matters. For silicone implants, the FDA recommends routine screening with ultrasound or MRI starting 5 to 6 years after placement and then every 2 to 3 years, even without symptoms.
A consultation helps determine whether implant surveillance is appropriate based on your implant type, timeline, and symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still need help? Give Us a Call
How long does breast revision surgery take?
Surgery length depends on complexity. A simple implant exchange takes less time than a revision involving pocket repair, capsular work, and a lift. Most procedures range from 2 to 4 hours.
Can revision fix implants that sit too low or too far to the side?
Yes. Implant malposition is corrected with pocket revision techniques designed to rebuild support and improve stability. Dr. Garg has extensive experience correcting bottoming out and lateral displacement.
What is capsular contracture and how is it treated?
Capsular contracture occurs when the scar capsule around an implant tightens, making the breast feel firm and look distorted. The FDA recognizes this as a known complication of breast implants. Revision addresses the capsule and restores a healthier pocket environment.
Can breast revision include a lift?
Yes. A lift is included when nipple position or skin laxity affects the final shape, including cases where breast tissue settles below the implant over time.
How long do breast revision results last?
With proper technique and follow-up care, breast revision results are long-lasting. However, factors like aging, weight changes, and gravity continue to affect breast appearance over time.
How is implant rupture monitored?
For silicone implants, the FDA recommends routine imaging with ultrasound or MRI beginning 5 to 6 years after placement and then every 2 to 3 years thereafter to detect silent ruptures.
Is breast revision more painful than initial surgery?
Pain levels vary by individual and procedure complexity. Many patients report similar or slightly higher discomfort compared to their initial surgery, but this is well-managed with medication.
Can patients travel to Beverly Hills for breast revision?
Yes. Shape You Deserve welcomes patients from throughout California and beyond. Our team helps coordinate timing around recovery and follow-up needs for out-of-area patients.
Will insurance cover breast revision surgery?
Insurance rarely covers revision surgery unless it’s medically necessary due to complications like implant rupture or severe capsular contracture. Cosmetic revisions are typically self-pay. We offer financing options to make your procedure more accessible.
