Breast implants are designed to last many years, but there may come a time when they need to be replaced or removed. At pēkomd® in Dayton, Dr. Nickolay P. Markov, a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in breast revision surgery to address various concerns and restore a natural and desirable breast contour.
Reasons for Breast Revision Surgery
You may consider breast revision surgery with Dr. Markov if you experience any of the following issues:
- Your initial breast surgery did not meet your expectations
- You want to replace old saline implants with new silicone implants
- You desire a change in the size or shape of your breasts
- Your saline implants have deflated
- Diagnostic tests reveal a leak in your silicone implants
- You are experiencing capsular contracture
- Your implants have migrated from their original position
- Significant implant rippling has occurred
- You have experienced breast implant illness
- Your breasts have sagged due to loss of skin elasticity or weight fluctuations
Customized Surgical Techniques for Breast Correction
Dr. Markov will create a personalized plan for your breast revision surgery based on your specific needs and goals.
Adjusting Implant Size
If you wish to change the size of your implants, Dr. Markov can use your original incision lines for the procedure. For larger implants, the breast pocket will be enlarged. For smaller implants, the pocket may be reduced with sutures to achieve the desired size.
Addressing Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue around the implants becomes tight and hard. Dr. Markov will remove the implants along with the surrounding scar tissue. New implants will be placed using the same incisions to ensure a smooth and natural result.
Replacing Saline Implants
If your saline implants have deflated or rippling has occurred, you may opt to replace them with silicone implants. Dr. Markov can use the original incision or create a new breast pocket to achieve optimal implant placement.
Correcting Implant Position
If your initial surgery resulted in implants that are too close together or too far apart, Dr. Markov can correct the positioning by manipulating the existing scar tissue and rebuilding the proper implant pockets.
Breast Implant Removal
If you decide you no longer want implants, Dr. Markov can perform a breast implant removal surgery. This involves removing both the implant and the surrounding capsule. Often, this procedure is combined with a breast lift to address any sagging of the natural breast tissue.
Benefits of Breast Revision Surgery
- Restores Comfort: Alleviates issues caused by poorly positioned or aging implants.
- Enhances Aesthetics: Improves the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts.
- Boosts Confidence: Helps patients feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance.
- Addresses Health Concerns: Resolves complications such as capsular contracture or implant leaks.

Recovery After Breast Revision Surgery
Recovery from breast revision surgery is similar to the initial breast implant procedure. If combined with a breast lift, the recovery may take slightly longer. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week, and a special surgical bra should be worn for several weeks to ensure proper healing.
