How does

Breast Implant Revision Surgery Work?

Breast revision surgery is performed as a day procedure and involves the removal of a breast implant through the inframammary fold and replacement with new implants. The procedure can often require intricate modifications to the breast implant pocket.

Dr Richardson may use other surgical interventions to address aesthetic concerns, based on your individual needs and expectations.

There are various pros and cons to each implant position because the most suitable choice for each patient is dependent on anatomical and lifestyle considerations.

Understanding

The recovery

Do you have questions about breast implant revision recovery? Here at Brisbane Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we aim to provide support and guidance throughout your recovery, which begins with your first consultation.

How long is breast implant revision recovery?

Full recovery from breast implant revision is six weeks. Full recovery refers to returning to all normal activities including weightlifting, running, and other physical activity.

How long should I take off work after breast implant revision?

Dr Richardson recommends that patients undergoing breast implant revision in Brisbane take at least one week off work for office jobs and two weeks off work for more active jobs.

How long after breast implant revision can I start driving again?

Dr Richardson recommends that patients refrain from driving for one week after their breast implant revision surgery. The primary reason is due to the likelihood of the patient still being on painkillers during this week.

How long until I can get back to the gym after breast implant revision surgery?

Dr Richardson recommends that patients who are having breast implant revision surgery proceed with caution when returning to the gym. The main consideration for patients wanting to get back to the gym is they should not engage in any physical activity that significantly elevates their heart rate for the first six weeks after surgery.
