This may include replacing old implants, correcting asymmetry, treating capsular contracture, or refining the shape and position of the breasts. It is often paired with breast implant removal.

What Happens During Breast Revision Surgery?
Revision breast surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. Each operation is tailored to your anatomy, goals, and previous procedures. Each incision is strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. The surgery typically lasts two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Larson may perform one or more of the following techniques:
- Implant Exchange: Replacing old implants with new ones of a different size, shape, or type.
- Capsulectomy or Capsulotomy: Removing or releasing scar tissue around the implant to improve softness and symmetry.
- Pocket Adjustment: Refining the implant pocket to reposition or center the implant for better alignment.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Tightening the skin and repositioning the nipple for a youthful contour.
- Implant Removal with Fat Transfer: Removing implants and using your natural fat for subtle volume restoration.
Recovery After Breast Revision in Newport Beach, CA
Recovery varies based on the type and extent of revision performed, but most patients find healing to be smooth and manageable.
Typical Recovery Timeline:
- Days 1–3: Mild swelling, soreness, and tightness are normal. Rest and light movement are encouraged.
- Week 1: Most patients return to desk work or light daily activities.
- Weeks 2–3: Bruising fades, swelling continues to decrease, and the breasts begin to settle.
- Weeks 4–6: Resume normal exercise and physical activity.
- 3–6 Months: Final results refine as tissue softens and incisions fade.
Dr. Larson provides detailed aftercare instructions and maintains close communication throughout recovery to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.

Results are typically visible immediately and continue to improve as swelling subsides. Patients often enjoy a renewed sense of confidence as their breasts appear softer, more symmetrical, and better aligned with their overall body shape.

Breast Revision Surgery in Newport Beach, CA – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need breast revision surgery?
Breast revision surgery may be appropriate if you’re unhappy with the size, shape, position, or feel of your breasts after a prior procedure, or if you’ve developed issues such as implant rupture, capsular contracture (hardening), asymmetry, or changes over time. Some patients also seek revision after life events like pregnancy, weight changes, or aging alter their original results. During your consultation, Dr. Larson carefully evaluates both your anatomy and surgical history to determine whether revision can improve comfort, appearance, or both.
Can implants be replaced with a different size or type?
Yes. Many patients choose revision to downsize, upsize, or switch implant styles or materials. This may include transitioning to newer-generation cohesive silicone (“gummy bear”) implants for improved shape retention and a more natural feel. Dr. Larson will guide you through implant options and help select the size and type that best fits your body and long-term goals.
Will I have visible scars after breast revision surgery?
Whenever possible, Dr. Larson reuses existing incision lines to avoid creating new scars. While all surgery leaves some scarring, careful placement and meticulous closure techniques help keep scars discreet. With proper scar care, including silicone therapy and sun protection, most scars soften and fade significantly over time.
What is a capsulectomy, and will I need one?
A capsulectomy involves removing some or all of the scar tissue capsule that naturally forms around a breast implant. It may be recommended in cases of capsular contracture, implant rupture, inflammation, or distortion of breast shape. Not every revision requires a capsulectomy, and Dr. Larson evaluates each case individually and recommends it only when it provides a clear safety or aesthetic benefit.
Can breast revision be combined with a lift or fat transfer?
Absolutely. Many revision procedures include a breast lift to correct sagging or reposition the nipples after implant changes or removal. Fat transfer can also be used to restore softness, improve contour, or enhance symmetry using your own natural tissue. Combining procedures often leads to more balanced, natural-looking results.
How long do breast revision results last?
Breast revision results are designed to be long-lasting. While natural aging continues, maintaining a stable weight, wearing supportive bras, and following Dr. Larson’s long-term care recommendations can help preserve your results for many years.
Is recovery from breast revision surgery painful?
Most patients describe recovery as very manageable. Discomfort is typically mild to moderate and often feels like tightness or pressure rather than sharp pain. Pain is well controlled with medication, and most patients notice steady improvement over the first several days.
What if I want my implants removed entirely?
Dr. Larson frequently performs breast implant removal (explant surgery), with or without a lift or fat transfer. For patients seeking a more natural appearance, he focuses not only on safe implant removal but also on reshaping the breast to maintain balance, contour, and aesthetic harmony.
Can I travel for breast revision surgery?
Yes. Many patients travel to Newport Beach from across the U.S. and beyond for breast revision with Dr. Larson.
