BONITA BREAST

Revision Breast Surgery

Revision breast surgery starts from why the discomfort began

Revision Breast Surgery

Bonita's Approach

We start by checking your previous surgical records and current condition

Whether to replace the implant, or remove it and fill with your own tissue, depends on the cause of the discomfort and the condition of the tissue

How is revision breast surgery done?

Replacing with a new implant

Implant replacement

The implant is replaced with a safe one.

  • First identify the cause: contracture, rupture, displacement
  • Capsule treated too, reducing recurrence
  • Redesigned to a size and position that suit your body
or

Filling without an implant

Autologous stem cell tissue grafting after implant removal

This method removes the implant and fills the space with autologous tissue grafting.

  • After removing the implant and capsule
  • Volume restored with your own fat and stem cells
  • A natural feel with no foreign material

Endoscopic micro Without an incision or general anaesthesia

Many people assume implant surgery always requires general anaesthesia.

At Bonita, however, small endoscopic incisions reduce tissue damage and scarring.

Because the incision is small, general anesthesia is not used, and with less pain you can go home the same day.

Breast massage is not required

One to two months of breast massage is not required at Bonita.

Recovery

  1. Right after treatment

    Swelling and pain are managed, and we explain compression and support garments.

  2. During recovery

    Light daily activities come first, and we let you know when stitches will be removed.

  3. As it settles

    As swelling goes down, the shape settles.

Recovery time and follow-up visits vary with the extent of treatment and your individual condition.

An implant 'Safe' does not mean 'permanent'

The US FDA has stated that silicone gel breast implants are 'safe' but not 'permanent'.

Point

FDA statistics on breast implant revision within 10 years

01

20–40% of women who had surgery for cosmetic reasons

The share who undergo revision within 10 years. Capsular contracture, displacement and rupture are the main reasons.

02

40–70% of women who had breast reconstruction surgery

Reconstruction involves harder tissue conditions, so revision rates are higher.

Consistent Aftercare matters

According to Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, 20% of women who have had breast augmentation replace their implants within ten years.

Even without problems now, it is important to keep up regular care, such as a detailed breast examination every two to three years, to judge when replacement is due.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the implant size decided?
We decide together by looking at tissue laxity, breast base width, body type and the look you want. We do not recommend a size the tissue cannot support.
When can revision surgery be done?
It is usually done after the tissue has settled from the previous surgery. However, problems such as rupture or inflammation need prompt care regardless of timing.
Where will the scar be?
It stays where the incision was made: the armpit, areola or breast fold. We use small endoscopic incisions and care for them so they fade over time.

※ Bleeding, infection, inflammation and other side effects may occur after surgery or treatment. Please decide after a full consultation with your doctor.
