Breast Revision Surgery Details

🛌 Anesthesia

Most revision surgeries are performed under IV sedation in our fully accredited surgical suite to ensure your comfort.

✂️ Incisions

Whenever possible, Dr. Thomassen uses existing incision sites to minimize new scarring. Through these incisions, he can:

  • Remove or replace implants
  • Remove scar tissue (capsulectomy)
  • Reposition implants for improved symmetry

🧩 Capsular Contracture Correction

If scar tissue is distorting implant shape or causing discomfort, it is surgically removed and new implants are placed to restore natural contours.

🔁 Breast Repositioning or Lift (Mastopexy

If implants have shifted or the breast skin has stretched:

  • Dr. Thomassen may reposition implants internally
  • If excess skin is present, a breast lift (mastopexy) may be required
  • Incisions are kept minimal and hidden in natural creases
