If your implants no longer feel like the right fit, you’re not alone. Breast revision surgery can help restore your comfort, confidence, and the beautiful look you deserve.

At Raj Plastic Surgery, Dr. Joyesh Raj offers expert breast revision surgery to Cleveland area patients in our beautiful Westlake, OH, office.

As a board-certified and internationally recognized cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Raj is known for his technical skills and for helping patients feel confident in their skin.

With breast implant revision procedures, Dr. Raj and our caring team help empower you to make the right choice for your body and future. Many women ask us what makes someone a good candidate for this procedure. Though the answer is nuanced and varies with the patient, there are some clear signs that it might be right for you.

Reasons You Might Consider Breast Revision

There are many different reasons you might start thinking about breast revision surgery. Some are based on medical needs, while others are motivated by personal goals. Common reasons include:

• Restoring original results: Implants may shift over time or look different than they once did based on changes in your body, but revision can restore your desired outcome.
• Size change: Many women desire a different implant size over time. For example, you may want to go larger or smaller.
• Implant type change: Some woman want to change out their implant type. For example, swapping saline for silicone implants is a common motivator.
• Implant complications: Dr. Raj has a superior success rate, so complications like capsular contracture (hardening around the implant) are quite rare. However, many other surgeons send their patients with capsular contracture, rupture, leakage, or other complications to Dr. Raj for expert correction.
• Implant removal: Some women wish to remove their implants (explant surgery.) Dr. Raj can perform other procedures, like breast lift, to avoid sagging after explant surgery.

If any of these situations sound familiar, you are not alone. Breast revision can help.

What Makes a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for breast revision surgery want to change something about their current implants and have realistic expectations about the results.

During your consultation, Dr. Raj and our team learn about your concerns and goals and suggest a surgical solution that helps you reach them. You deserve a plan that matches your body and vision, and that’s why Dr. Raj customizes every procedure for the patient.
