“In breast aesthetics my aim is a result that is proportionate to your body, natural-looking and balanced.”
Breast implant revision is the removal and, if needed, replacement of an existing implant for reasons such as capsular contracture, ageing/wear, a size/shape change, malposition or rippling. A lift can also be added in the same session if desired.
It is for situations such as capsular contracture (hardening), implant ageing/rippling, a wish to change size/shape, implant malposition, or the implant becoming visible/palpable. The previous technique and implant details guide the plan.
Depending on need, a capsulotomy/capsulectomy, pocket adjustment, implant exchange or full removal (explant) is performed; if there is sagging, a lift (mastopexy) can be added.
General anaesthesia; scar usually via the existing one
Procedure and Recovery
It is performed under general anaesthesia. A surgical bra is worn the first days; swelling and tenderness subside within a few weeks. Return to work is at 1–2 weeks and heavy sport at 4–6 weeks.
Istanbul stands out in aesthetic-surgery tourism with experienced plastic surgeons, accredited operating theatres and affordable pricing. All surgery is performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın.
Breast Implant Revision — Frequently Asked Questions

No; there is no fixed "expiry" date. Replacement is usually done when a problem arises or you want to change your look. Regular check-ups are advised.
In most cases the procedure is done through the existing scar, so no new prominent scar is created.
As needed, the capsule is opened (capsulotomy) or removed (capsulectomy); if there is contracture, this step improves the result.
Yes; during revision you can switch to a larger/smaller implant, and if there is sagging a lift (mastopexy) can be added.
Yes; the implant can be fully removed (explant) if desired; if needed, a lift in the same session aims for a natural look.
Rest is advised the first week; desk work resumes in 1–2 weeks. Heavy sport resumes at 4–6 weeks.
You feel no pain during surgery thanks to general anaesthesia; post-operative tightness and mild soreness are easily controlled with painkillers.
As with any surgery, infection, bleeding, new capsular contracture, sensory change and asymmetry are possible. An experienced team and proper care minimise these.
