Breast Revision Surgery: What Should I Look At First?
Breast augmentation revision surgeryIt is a surgery that corrects problems or dissatisfaction with the results, such as capsular contracture, asymmetry, upper bulge, or implant rupture, that occurred following a first breast augmentation using implants or fat grafting. Because it involves manipulating tissue that has already been operated on once, First, identify the cause of why it happened. You must decide on a method so that the same thing does not happen again.
SC301 Clinic (located at Bongeunsa Station, Gangnam, Seoul) performs breast revision surgery by removing implants and refilling the area with the patient's own fat and stem cells (SVF). Based on 19 years of experience and over 9 surgeries in the SVF field, the clinic identifies the cause first through previous surgical records, imaging tests, and 3D measurements.
Major causes requiring revision surgery
| cause | Appearance | Checking first |
|---|---|---|
| Old model | The chest becomes hard and changes shape, and in severe cases, pain develops. | Construction phase (degrees 1–4) and film condition |
| asymmetry | The left and right sides differ in height, size, and shape, and the position of the implants moves. | Thoracic structure and left-right volume difference (3D measurement) |
| upper convex | The upper part of the nipple bulges out. | Check if the chest width and implant size match |
| Damage or deterioration of implants | Inflammation, bleeding, or changes in appearance occur. | Condition of the implant as seen in the imaging examination |
| Insufficient engraftment and calcification after fat grafting | Loss of volume or the sensation of lumps or hardness | Which is the cause: fat purity, injection volume, or post-operative care? |
When is the best time to do this?
Usually, the tissue stabilizes after the first surgery After 6 monthsWe plan based on an accurate assessment of your current condition. If fat grafting has been performed, we can only assess what remains after the absorption is complete. However, if there is inflammation or severe capsular contracture causing pain, the procedure may be performed earlier at the medical team's discretion.
SC301 Clinic's Breast Revision Surgery Procedure
- Identify the cause — We first check why this happened using previous surgical records (surgery name, materials, injection volume), imaging tests, and 3D volume measurements.
- Capsule treatment — If capsular contracture is present, the capsule is treated before injecting more fat. Capsular contracture is not resolved by injecting more fat.
- Fat grafting after implant removal — We replenish with your own fat and stem cells (SVF). Depending on the tissue condition, we proceed either simultaneously or in separate stages.
- Adding only fat while keeping the implants in place — There is also a method to retain the implants and add fat to the deficient areas. However, the amount that can be injected is limited.
- Check progress — We monitor the progress until 6 months after engraftment stabilizes.

Surgical outcomes vary from person to person, and all surgeries carry the possibility of side effects and complications. An in-person consultation is required to assess the individual's condition.
breast revision surgery CASE
( CASE 01 )
Capsular contracture, model deformation, and pain induction
If grade 3 or higher contracture occurs, which is the most common side effect after breast implant surgery, removal of the implant is considered first.
- Implant side effects
-
- # Bleeding
- # Inflammation
- # Deterioration and Damage of Implants
- Due to bleeding, bacterial infection, or deterioration of the implant, the capsule around the implant thickens, causing the breast to harden.
( CASE 02 )
Giant calcification
The transplanted fat cells necrose and harden, resulting in calcification.
- Side effects of massive calcification
-
- # Calcification
- # Lump
- # Foreign body sensation
- It occurs during procedures involving excessive transplantation in one area or a low engraftment rate.
( CASE 03 )
asymmetry
This occurs when the individual's thoracic structure is not sufficiently considered during surgery, or when the implant shifts or changes shape, resulting in significant differences in the shape and size of both breasts.
- Side effects due to asymmetry
-
- # Implant transfer
- # Variation
- # Difference in breast size between both breasts
- Posture distortion
- This phenomenon occurs when artificial implants are inserted at a location, size, or shape that does not take into account the thoracic cage and body structure.
( CASE 04 )
upper convex
If the width, depth, and structure of the chest do not match the size of the implant, the upper part of the chest bulges outward around the nipple.
- Side effects
-
- # Implant transfer
- # Deformed breast shape due to deformation

FAQ
Here are the frequently asked questions.
In what cases should I undergo breast revision surgery?
Breast revision surgery is recommended when safety side effects, such as shape deformation, capsular contracture, or pain caused by implants inserted after the first surgery, have occurred, or when the results are unsatisfactory. Major cases are as follows.
ㆍ Implant side effects and deformation (capsular contracture): This is a case where the capsule surrounding the implant thickens, causing the breast to become hard or deformed. In cases of grade 3 or higher contracture (where the patient feels hardness) or grade 4 (where there is pain and deformation is visible to the naked eye), removal of the existing implant is considered first.
ㆍ Implant position and size discrepancy (asymmetry/upper convexity): This occurs when the implant shifts or becomes distorted due to insufficient consideration of the individual's thoracic structure, resulting in a significant difference in size between the two sides. Revision surgery is also necessary if the area above the nipple bulges out due to a mismatch between the thoracic width and the implant size.
ㆍ Qualitative problems with implants : This is a case where the implant deteriorates or breaks, causing inflammation and bleeding.
ㆍ Reconstruction after implant removal : This is for cases where you want to reconstruct your breasts with a soft texture and natural shape using your own body fat (stem cell (SVF) fat grafting) instead of artificial implants.

ㆍ Reconstruction after implant removal : This is for cases where you want to reconstruct your breasts with a soft texture and natural shape using your own body fat (stem cell (SVF) fat grafting) instead of artificial implants.
How long will it take to recover?
Breast revision surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 3 hours, and recovery patterns vary from person to person. However, post-operative care is long-term. Progress and cell engraftment are monitored for up to 6 months, and measures to strengthen engraftment and tissue stability are provided. The 'Secret Aftercare' program is provided.It's possible.
What are the unique advantages of the SC301?
ㆍ Basis for graft survival rate: This explanation is based on the 18-month average engraftment rate of '77.48%' reported in an SCI paper (individual differences may apply).
ㆍ Implant removal with fat grafting in mind: We plan the removal in a way that minimizes tissue damage, taking into account the fat grafting to be performed next.
ㆍ Customized Pre/Post-care:
– Pre-program: Secure fat and chest space in advance through a diet and space management program tailored to your body type.
– Post-treatment: We conduct data verification, customized diet manuals, cell activation screenings, etc.
ㆍ Natural results: Achieve a natural-looking soft touch and bust line through uniform grafting technology.
What are the surgery time, anesthesia, and hospitalization requirements?
The surgery takes 2 to 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia, allowing for same-day discharge. Recovery patterns vary from person to person.
When is the best time to have breast augmentation revision surgery?
Typically, a plan is formulated six months after the initial surgery, once the tissues have stabilized, based on an accurate assessment of the current condition. If fat grafting was performed, the remaining fat can only be measured after absorption is complete. However, if there is inflammation or severe capsular contracture causing pain, the procedure may be performed earlier at the discretion of the medical team. The exact timing depends on the previous surgical method and the course of the condition.
What factors do you consider when choosing a hospital for breast augmentation revision surgery?
Please examine ① how the cause of failure is identified (previous surgical records, imaging tests, 3D measurements), ② whether capsular treatment is planned first when capsular contracture is present, ③ whether the decision to perform procedures simultaneously or separately is determined by tissue condition, ④ what evidence (papers, follow-up period) is used to present figures such as engraftment rates, and ⑤ for how many months after surgery the progress is monitored. SC301 Clinic first identifies the cause using previous surgical records and 3D measurements, explains the findings based on an 18-month average engraftment rate of 77.48% reported in SCI papers (with individual differences), and monitors the progress for up to 6 months.
Can I have implant removal and fat grafting done at the same time?
Whether to perform the procedure simultaneously or in stages depends on the condition of the tissue and the space where the implant was located. When the implant is removed, a space remains; inserting a large amount of material before the tissue has settled is detrimental to engraftment. If capsular contracture was present, capsule treatment should also be considered. In many cases, performing the procedure in stages rather than aiming to complete it simultaneously yields more stable results.
