I am totally blown away by Dr. Sistare's talent as a young cosmetic surgeon. He's definitely ahead of the curve as it relates to new technology in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Sistare is a gamechanger. His attention to detail, and precision are unmatched. He took the time to understand my goals and delivered results that far exceeded my expectations. His artistic eye and skills for balance and symmetry are truly impressive. I feel like a more confident and refreshed version of myself. His staff are so friendly, they know you by name after the first visit. Concierge cosmetic surgery, treatment and results without the concierge prices. And he's charming to boot!
Alexandra Kelly
After going on several consultations for a breast implant removal procedure with a breast lift, I was sure Dr. Sistare was going to be the doctor I would choose. He listened carefully to what I wanted and explained step by step how and what to expect from the procedure. He took his time to answer ALL of my questions. I didn’t feel persuaded to change my mind about what I wanted. He listened! I have my procedure scheduled so I’m looking forward to my results.
I do have a friend that already used Dr. Sistare and she’s EXTREMELY happy with her results.
Victoria Rogers
After years of dealing with my eyelids impacting my vision, I finally decided to move forward with a procedure to address it and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Sistare. From the first appointment, he was thoughtful, clear, and attentive. He took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process.

The procedure itself was awake, smooth and surprisingly easy. I’m very grateful for Dr. Sistare’s expertise and care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others considering similar care! He has great bedside manner, and also gives you his personal number to help answer any questions.

Dr. Michael Sistare did surgery for my neck & face and I was very pleased with his expertise during my surgery. He called me later that night after the surgery to check up on me. That was very impressive. The post-opt experience was very good. He answered all my questions and was very patient, caring and kind.
A week after my surgery, my face and neck looked significantly better. It boosted my confidence and brought me great joy.
I am ecstatic and pleased by how I now look in the mirror.
Good job!

Breast revision surgery addresses issues arising from a previous breast augmentation. This procedure can involve:

  • Replacing implants: Switching from saline to silicone implants (or vice versa) or replacing damaged or outdated implants.
  • Removing implants: For women who wish to return to their natural breast size, often combined with a breast lift to restore shape.
  • Correcting complications: Fixing issues like implant rupture, capsular contracture, or asymmetry.
  • Adjusting size: Increasing or decreasing implant size to align with new aesthetic goals.

Whether for medical or aesthetic reasons, breast revision surgery ensures your breasts look and feel exactly how you want them to.

Breast revision offers several benefits, including:

  • Restored symmetry and balance.
  • Resolution of complications like capsular contracture or implant rupture.
  • Enhanced comfort and confidence in your appearance.
  • The ability to adjust implant size, shape, or type to suit your current preferences.

Common Reasons for Breast Revision Surgery

1. Implant Replacement or Removal

Implants may need replacement or removal for various reasons, such as:

  • Rupture or leakage in saline or silicone implants.
  • Transitioning to a different implant material or size.
  • Personal preference to remove implants entirely and return to a natural look.

2. Capsular Contracture Revision

Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant hardens, causing discomfort or an unnatural appearance. Revision surgery removes the scar tissue and replaces the implant to restore comfort and symmetry.

3. Size Adjustments

A change in lifestyle or aesthetic preferences may lead some women to opt for smaller or larger implants. Revision surgery adjusts implant size to better align with your current goals.

4. Correcting Asymmetry

Natural breast asymmetry can be accentuated by implants. Revision surgery balances size and positioning for a harmonious appearance.

5. Synmastia (Symmastia) Correction

Synmastia, also called “uniboob,” occurs when implants shift toward the midline of the chest. Revision surgery rebuilds the internal breast pockets to separate the implants for a more natural look.

6. Addressing Implant Malposition

Implants that sit too high, too low, or off to one side can be repositioned for a balanced, symmetrical appearance.

What to Expect During and After Breast Revision Surgery

Comprehensive Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Sistare, where you’ll:

  • Discuss your concerns and goals.
  • Undergo a physical evaluation to determine the best approach.
  • Explore your options for implant replacement, removal, or adjustment.

This consultation ensures you feel fully informed and confident about your decision.

The Surgical Procedure

The specifics of your surgery will depend on your unique needs. Dr. Sistare typically:

  • Utilizes existing incision sites to minimize additional scarring.
  • Removes or replaces implants as needed.
  • Corrects issues like capsular contracture, asymmetry, or implant malposition.
  • Combines procedures, such as a breast lift, to optimize results.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 3 hours.

Recovery

Recovery after breast revision is often quicker and less painful than initial augmentation. Here’s what to expect:

  • First Week: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and managed with medication.
  • 2 to 3 Weeks Post-Op: You can resume light daily activities but should avoid strenuous exercise.
  • 6 Weeks Post-Op: Most patients can return to full physical activity.

Dr. Sistare provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing. As with any surgery, breast revision carries potential risks, including:

  • Bleeding or infection.
  • Capsular contracture recurrence.
  • Changes in breast or nipple sensation (usually temporary).
  • Minor asymmetry or scarring.

Dr. Sistare will discuss all risks and benefits during your consultation, ensuring you feel fully informed.

Breast revision provides long-lasting results, but factors like aging, weight changes, and gravity can still affect your breasts over time. Regular check-ups and maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your results.

Breast Revision Surgery FAQs

The cost of your breast revision surgery at our Palm Beach practice will depend on a variety of factors, including the details and extent of your surgery. For this reason, the best way to get the most accurate pricing estimate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sistare. We are also pleased to offer several financing options to help make your procedure as affordable and stress-free as possible.
Most insurance plans don’t cover cosmetic procedures. However, complications like implant rupture or capsular contracture may qualify for partial coverage. For more information about your health plan coverage, call the number listed on the back of your insurance card.

You may need breast revision if you experience discomfort, notice implant displacement or rupture or are dissatisfied with the size or appearance of your implants.
With saline implants, a rupture is usually easy to spot, as the breast will deflate noticeably within a few days as the saline is safely absorbed by the body. Silicone implant ruptures, on the other hand, are often “silent,” showing few visible symptoms, though you might notice firmness, swelling or changes in shape. An MRI or ultrasound is typically needed to confirm a silicone implant rupture.
Dr. Sistare recommends waiting at least 6 to 12 months after your initial breast surgery before considering a revision. This allows time for swelling to subside, scar tissue to mature and your final results to fully settle, ensuring that any revisions are based on a stable outcome.
Yes, revision surgery can remove scar tissue and replace implants, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence.
Reusing implants depends on their condition and your revision goals. Dr. Sistare will be able to provide more information based on your specific situation during your consultation.
In most cases, Dr. Sistare can use your existing incision lines from your previous breast surgery, minimizing additional scarring. However, if your revision requires a different approach or implant placement, new incisions may be needed, but these are typically placed in discreet, easily concealed locations.
Yes, many patients choose to change the size, shape or type of their implants during revision surgery. Dr. Sistare will work with you to customize your breast implant revision plan to achieve your desired look prior to surgery.
Most patients find breast revision less painful than their initial augmentation. Discomfort is manageable with medication and rest.
Dr. Sistare typically recommends sleeping slightly elevated on your back for 4 to 6 weeks after breast revision surgery. This position helps to minimize swelling, protects healing incisions and prevents placing unnecessary pressure on the implants as they settle into place.
Yes, breast implants often go through a “drop and fluff” phase after revision surgery, just like after an initial augmentation. Over the first 6 to 12 weeks, the implants should gradually settle into a more natural position as swelling subsides and the surrounding tissues relax.
You’ll notice improvements immediately after surgery, but final results take 3 to 6 months as swelling subsides.
It depends. Breast implants can be long-lasting, often lasting 10 to 20 years or more, but they’re not designed to be lifetime devices. You may eventually choose to replace them due to natural changes in your body, changes in your personal preferences or implant-related issues in the future.
Yes, many patients who have had multiple prior breast surgeries can still undergo a revision. Dr. Sistare will carefully evaluate your scar tissue, skin quality and implant position to determine the safest and most effective approach for you.
Yes, breast revision surgery can often be combined with a breast lift or other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction or a tummy tuck. Let Dr. Sistare know your specific goals during your consultation so that he can create a customized treatment plan with them in mind.
