A breast revision can include a wide variety of techniques aimed at helping women who have had breast surgery in the past and require or desire adjustments. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Abigail Rodriguez is proud to perform breast revisions for Houston-area patients looking for a more accurate outer reflection of their inner beauty.
What Are Breast Revisions Used to Correct?
Women who undergo breast revision surgery may have had one or a combination of these surgeries in the past:
- RBreast augmentation
- RBreast lift (mastopexy)
- RBreast lift with augmentation
- RBreast reduction
- RBreast implant exchange
- RBreast implant removal
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Revision?
You may be a candidate for breast revision surgery by Dr. Rodriguez if you are a woman in the Houston area and you:
- RHave a deflated or ruptured breast implant
- RHad breast surgery previously but desire changes
- RHave recurrence of breast drooping (ptosis) after a prior breast lift
- RHave breast asymmetry after prior procedures
- RAre a non-smoker and do not use any nicotine
- RHave good control over all health conditions
How is Breast Revision Surgery Performed?
After meeting with you and discussing your goals, Dr. Rodriguez will recommend a specific surgical plan. This may involve scar revision, capsule or breast pocket adjustment, moving the breast tissue and nipple, and/or changing the implant (if present). Breast revision surgery is typically done under general anesthesia and on an outpatient basis, meaning you go home the same day.
Breast Revision Recovery Process
During the initial recovery, you will have a wrap around your chest. You can usually switch to a supportive, soft sports bra at your first follow-up appointment. You should not wear an underwire bra until cleared by Dr. Rodriguez. Most patients can return to work two weeks after surgery and start exercising again after six weeks.
Breast Revision Surgery Results
The scar will soften and fade over the coming months. Scar therapy using a silicone product, such as silicone sheets or silicone gel, is recommended to optimize their appearance.

Breast Revision FAQs
How soon after my initial breast surgery can I get a revision?
It is usually recommended to wait at least six months to a year before considering a revision. This allows your breasts to fully heal and settle, making it easier to assess the final results.
How do I prepare for breast revision surgery?
Dr. Rodriguez will provide specific instructions, but general preparation includes avoiding smoking, stopping certain medications, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You may also need to arrange for help during the initial recovery period, such as by making sure someone can give you a ride home.
Will breast revision surgery leave new scars?
Breast revision surgery can result in new scars, but Dr. Rodriguez typically places incisions in existing scar lines when possible. Over time, with proper care and scar therapy, the scars will fade significantly.
Can I go smaller or return to my natural breast size during a revision?
Yes, if you decide to downsize or remove your implants altogether, breast revision can help reshape and restore your natural breast tissue. In some cases, a breast lift may also be recommended to achieve the best results.
