Not Recommended For Breast Implant Revision
If you are physically healthy and at a stable weight and feel that your current breast implants are not the right size and you want a breast increase or breast reduction without total breast implant removal, a breast implant revision surgery seems like a right choice.

Overview
Breast implant revision is a common cosmetic surgery among women who have breast implants. It is a corrective surgical procedure included change of implant type, change of implant location, change of implant size, and scar revision.
Both silicone breast implants and saline implants do not adjust themselves to the changing body. To the contrary – they have a tendency to change shape in a way which doesn’t make women satisfied.
There are two solutions for misshapen breast implants. One of them is the complete removal of the breast implant, which causes a reduction in the size of the breast. It is preferred by patients who are not satisfied with their large breast implants and who are looking for a natural appearance. However, many patients with breast implants aim at breast reduction without coming back to their previous breast size. Others seek even breast increase to a larger scale. For both these groups, breast implant revision surgery is a perfect solution.
Preparation
The first step you take when preparing for a breast implant revision surgery should be to provide your doctor with information about the medical conditions you have and provide a list of medicines you receive for them. In this way, medicines which may affect the breast implant revision surgery results may be ruled out. Additionally, you should share with your breast implant revision specialist the documentation regarding your previous breast enlargement surgery. Finally, it may be deemed necessary for you to stop smoking for some weeks and fast for some hours before your breast implant revision.
How It Is Performed
There are a few types of breast implant revision. Among them are:
Sometimes also the excessive scar tissue around breast implants is removed in order to make breasts softer. It can be also combined with a breast lift procedure.
Recovery
The length of the breast implant revision recovery depends on the type of surgery performed. As it is a case with the first breast augmentation, the surgery may result in bruising and swelling, which should recede within the first 3 weeks. However, if the breast implants are removed entirely, the recovery is usually shorter, with minimal discomfort.
Generally, breast implant revision specialists dissuade from strenuous physical activities in this period. You may need to wear a compression garment in order to keep swelling at bay. Additionally, pain after this breast augmentation surgery should be bearable with medicines prescribed by your doctor.
Risks
While many breast implant revisions finish with success, still complications rarely occur. In some cases, breast implant revision surgery may lead to:
However, keep in mind that such events are unlikely to happen as a result of breast implant revision surgery.
Success Rates
While there is no exact data available, breast implant revision specialists agree that the success rate of this type of surgery is quite high, somewhere above 90%.

What Is a Breast Implant Revision?
Breast implant revision surgery is a procedureduring which doctors replace old breast implants with new ones. It can lead to breast reduction, breast increase or leave the same size of implants and only fix the problem occurred after the initial operation.
What Is Better: Breast Implant Revision or Breast Implant Removal?
They are two different medical procedures. It depends on what you want – if you want to resign totally from breast implants, breast implant removal without a replacement could be a good option for you. Breast implant revision with breast reduction may be an option for patients who want smallerbreasts but still enhanced according to the pre-implant situation.
Which Is Better: Saline Breast Implants or Silicone Breast Implants?
It is again up to you and your surgeon’s decision, both saline implants, and silicone breast implants can give splendid results in the hands of an experienced and skilled breast implant surgeon.

Made my trip overseas so much easier!
Yasmin was extremely helpful, friendly and made planning my trip so much easier. I don't know what I would have done without her! She told me how to get a travel visa and luckily warned me of any travel restrictions that were going on! I had to rebook my trip twice due to covid & restrictions and Yasmin handled everything on the hospitals end. One of the times I had to rebook it was because my layover was in london and Turkey banned all incoming travel from the UK. The airline never notified me so if it wasn't for Yasmin warning me I would have gotten on the plane and been stuck in london! Going overseas to a country you've never been to before to get plastic surgery can be scary, having Yasmin made it a lot less scary knowing you have somebody there that's on your team to help you.
I highly recommend the services of Flymedi

Long waiting times in UK…
Because of long waiting times in UK hospitals due to Covid19, I hit upon the idea of having my bilateral hernia surgery done while on a 2-week holiday in Antalya. After making inquiries through Yasmin, I had a short but comprehensive consultation with an eminent surgeon Prof Alihan Gürkan and my operation was scheduled for a day halfway through my stay in Antalya. It went well with keyhole surgery, I stayed in overnight and was discharged the next day, which gave me 6 days to recover before my flight home to Scotland. Yasmin kept in touch throughout, making sure I had transport to and from the hospital, and a special thanks to Fatma, my mentor and guide at the Memorial Hospital on my day of tests and examinations. I telephoned my surgeon a few days after the operation for advice on removing my plasters and he was most helpful and reassuring about my complete recovery. I was not too fond of the breakfast, but considered it as another form of medicine! My flight home was amazingly comfortable without painkillers, although they were definitely needed for a few days after my operation. In conclusion, I would be happy to have other treatment like this, though in a nice sort of way I hope never to set eyes on the Memorial Hospital again. 🙂
A very positive outcome
A very positive outcome, following my decision to pursue in having dental cosmetic surgery/treatment carried out in Turkey. Excellent advisory skills by Flymedi rep Abud. He was professional, well informed, and followed me up with total attention throughout the whole process. Last but not least, I thank Dr Ahmed Kumsan and his team at Infinity Smiles Dental Clinic for their commitment and professionalism. Highly recommended.
Thank you Flymedi
I was considering several different options, however Abud was by far the most committed and helpful of all the agents I'd been in discussions with. Everything was organised for me and I was guided throughout and if I was feeling apprehensive about anything or had any questions Abud was always on hand to answer my questions and give reassurances. I'm so happy with the results of my operation and I was left overwhelmed by how friendly and supportive everyone was throughout. If you're considering using flymedi then I can honestly say you'll be delighted with the service both before during and after your surgery.
