Breast implants have transformed the size and shape of the breasts of millions of patients in the U.S. There are a wide variety of physical and personal reasons a patient may desire to have breast implant revision surgery to change or improve the appearance of their breasts. Dr. Munique Maia of Maia Plastic Surgery is a highly experienced breast implant specialist and plastic surgeon who offers breast implant revision surgery at our clinic in Tysons Corner, VA.

Reasons for Breast Implant Revision

Saline and silicone breast implants are most commonly used, each with their own pros and cons. When a patient has breast augmentation, the type, size and shape of implant they choose is crucial to the results. When a patient is not pleased with the results of her breast augmentation or there have been complications, breast implant revision surgery is an option. Some of the common reasons for breast implant revision surgery include:

  • Ruptured implants – Breast implants do not last forever – they will eventually leak or rupture. Breast revision surgery can replace old implants with new ones of the same size or change the size.
  • Downsizing or upsizing – Some breast augmentation patients decide that their breasts are too big or too small for their tastes. Revision can be used to downsize or upsize implants, and downsizing usually requires a breast lift to reduce excess skin.
  • Capsular contracture – If the patient has capsular contracture, a thickening and tightening of scar tissue around the implant, revision surgery may be needed to remove the implant and reposition it.
  • Symmastia – The “uniboob” complication, or symmastia, can require revision surgery to separate the breast implants.

Breast implant revision surgery is a common occurrence – most implants will need to be removed or replaced eventually. If you are considering breast implant revision surgery, contact us at Maia Plastic Surgery in Tysons Corner. Dr. Maia is a mammoplasty specialist who can perform your revision with high quality results.

Dr. Maia and her staff are incredibly professional and truly empathetic. They’ve done a beautiful job with the treatments that I’ve gotten and I look forward to coming to the office every single time.

Dr. Maia deserves more than 5-stars! I’m thrilled with my results and I’m less than 3 months post surgery. Dr. Maia is confident and kind, and not at all pushy like other plastic surgeons. I was overly impressed the morning of the procedure. The surgical and hospital staff know her well! They were ready for her and put me at ease while I was getting settled in the OR. I appreciate the team in Dr. Maia’s office for their patience and care. They are just as calm as Dr. Maia.

Mid 40s male who’s always had nasal breathing issues and a dorsal bump. I finally decided to do something about it with a septoplasty/rhinoplasty combo. I met with a few doctors but Dr. Maia stood out. She instilled confidence, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. The surgery was straight forward, and the swelling was surprisingly light. A week later the cast was off and I was on the short road to recovery. Honestly, if I had known it was this easy I would have done it earlier. Thanks Dr. Maia!

I recently had Dysport injected by NP Kristina, and I could not be happier with the outcome. I can already see some of the results few days post-injections! I love how quickly Dysport softens the wrinkles, without giving you the "frozen look". Just in time for the upcoming holidays! Earlier this year, I did 3 Morpheus-8 treatments to my face and neck, and I am CONSTANTLY being complimented on how good my skin looks. Worth every penny! I also had fillers injected by Dr. Maia and Kristina. Dr. Maia did my under-eye, which I am obsessed about... what a change! Kristina injected my lips, chin, jawline, and cheeks. My face looks more proportional and guess what.... I FINALLY HAVE A CHIN :) Thank you, Dr. Maia, Kristina, and the Team. You're the best. I will surely be back for more.

I had tummy tuck and muscle repair with Dr. Maia 3 months ago. I couldn't be happier. I am 44 and I got my 25 year old body back after tummy tuck with Dr. Maia. The initial consult was great. The surgery was fast. The post op care was excellent. Dr. Maia and team assured me that I had great post recovery and everything going okay. I had no complication whatsoever. The incission was very small and low which I love. She is amazing and caring surgeon. He teams are very responsive and wonderful. I am very happy with the result and everything.
