Revision Breast Surgery at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi

Revision breast surgery (implant revision) at Elyzee Hospital addresses complications or unsatisfactory outcomes from prior breast procedures. Whether you need implant replacement, correction of asymmetry, capsular contracture release, or contour refinement, our specialist plastic surgeons provide personalized revision strategies to restore comfort, aesthetics, and confidence.

Consultation and Pre-Procedure Planning

A thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon at Elyzee Hospital is the first step. The surgeon will review your surgical history, evaluate existing implants and breast tissue, discuss your goals, and order necessary imaging (mammogram, ultrasound or MRI) if indicated. Medication adjustments and pre-operative instructions — such as stopping blood-thinning agents and avoiding smoking — will be provided to optimize safety.

What Happens During Revision Breast Surgery

Revision techniques vary based on each patient’s needs. Common procedures include:

  • Implant removal and replacement: Old implants may be removed and replaced with new implants of a different size, profile, or type (silicone vs saline).
  • Capsulectomy or capsulotomy: Scar tissue (capsule) around the implant may be removed or released to correct firmness and distortion.
  • Pocket revision or repositioning: The implant pocket may be adjusted, tightened, or repositioned to improve symmetry and support.
  • Fat grafting: Autologous fat transfer can smooth contour irregularities and enhance soft tissue coverage.
  • Use of support matrices: Biological or synthetic meshes (acellular dermal matrix) may be added to reinforce soft tissue support when needed.

Incisions may follow prior scar lines or be revised for better camouflage. The surgeon will tailor the operative plan to achieve the safest and most aesthetically pleasing result.

After the Procedure & Recovery

Following revision surgery at Elyzee Hospital, patients are monitored in a recovery area. Post-operative recommendations typically include:

  • Wearing a supportive surgical bra or compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing.
  • Taking prescribed analgesics and antibiotics as directed.
  • Avoiding heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and overhead movements for several weeks.
  • Keeping incision sites clean and attending scheduled follow-up visits for drain removal (if placed) and wound checks.

Initial swelling, bruising and mild discomfort are expected and normally improve over several weeks. Your surgeon will provide individualized guidance on activity resumption and scar care.

Final Results

Final aesthetic improvements become clearer as swelling subsides and tissues settle—often over several months. Successful revision surgery can correct implant-related problems, enhance breast shape and symmetry, and significantly improve patient satisfaction and comfort.

Risks & Considerations

Revision surgery carries risks similar to primary breast surgery, including bleeding, infection, delayed wound healing, sensory changes, and the potential need for further revision. During your consultation at Elyzee Hospital, these risks will be explained along with strategies to minimize complications.
