Increasing numbers of women are dissatisfied with their breast implants because of botched surgery, capsular contracture, breast asymmetry, or implants that can be seen or felt.

Some women are unhappy with the size or shape of their new breasts and want bigger or smaller implants that are more in proportion with their bodies. Also, there have been high profile reports about faulty PIP implants that need to be removed for health and wellbeing.

It can be worrying when you need revision surgery. However, Bella Vou offers the highest standard of specialist surgery by skilled, accredited plastic surgeons. You can be reassured that you will be given the very best care and treatment to get healthy, attractive, and natural-looking breasts.

At Bella Vou, Breast Augmentation is performed under general anaesthetic. You will need to stay in the hospital overnight so that your healthy recovery can be monitored.

The surgeon will make an incision in the crease under the breast and excise any lumpy or puckered scar tissue. They will remove the existing implant and carefully cut away any capsule that is constricting the implant, making it feel hard and look unnatural.

The consultant will create a new pocket in the tissues to hold the new implant. If there is no evidence of infection, a fresh implant can be inserted, and the incisions stitched closed.

If there is an infection, it's essential to treat this before inserting the new implants. The surgeon will close the wound, then arrange another operation to replace the implants when you have recovered fully from the infection.

Breast Implant Replacement is more complicated than initial Breast Augmentation surgery. Some pain, swelling, and bruising are normal after the operation. You may notice that this more significant than following your first procedure.

You will be given a sports bra to support your breasts, reduce swelling, and keep you comfortable. Pain and swelling will progressively settle over the first few weeks.

You can gradually reintroduce normal activities. But it’s important to take things easy and be sensible. Avoid too much arm movement, excess exertion, and heavy lifting should be avoided for between four and six weeks. By six weeks, you should be back to your usual routine.
