What it is
Correction of previous breast surgery, or revision surgery, addresses results from earlier procedures that did not meet expectations. This includes problems such as asymmetry, implant malposition, rippling, a double bubble, animation deformity, capsular contracture, poor scarring, or an unnatural shape, whether the original surgery was performed elsewhere or at Skulpturkliniken.
Revision is among the most demanding work in breast surgery, because the anatomy has already been altered and the tissue, pocket, and scarring must all be understood before a plan is made. The approach is individualized and may involve adjusting the pocket, changing the implant, capsule surgery, repositioning, fat grafting, a lift, or a combination.
Because every revision case is different, planning begins with a careful assessment of the original surgery and what is realistic now. The goal is a safer, more natural, better-balanced result. All surgery carries risks, and revision can be less predictable than primary surgery.
What it can address
- Asymmetry after previous surgery
- Implant malposition, bottoming out, or a double bubble
- Visible rippling or palpable implant edges
- Animation deformity from muscle placement
- Capsular contracture and firmness
- Poor or widened scars and unnatural shape
Revision cannot always achieve a perfect result, since altered tissue and scarring limit what is possible. It cannot make implants permanent or remove all risk of recurrence.
Before the procedure
You will receive detailed instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, fasting, and tests, and previous records and imaging are reviewed. The specific problems are mapped, and a tailored plan is made, since revision rarely follows a single standard technique.
During the procedure
The procedure is tailored to the findings and may combine pocket adjustment, implant change, capsule surgery, repositioning, fat grafting, or a lift. The aim is to correct the specific problems while protecting tissue that has already been operated on.
After the procedure
Swelling and tenderness ease over the first weeks, though recovery varies with the complexity of the correction. A support bra is worn as advised, and activity is reintroduced gradually. The result refines over several months.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
A more natural, balanced, and stable result is achievable in most cases. Revision cannot guarantee perfection, since altered anatomy limits what is possible, and some problems may need more than one stage to correct safely.
Possible risks and complications
Revision surgery is generally safe in experienced hands, but carries the risks of breast surgery plus those of altered tissue. Possible risks include:
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Infection
- Delayed or impaired wound healing in scarred tissue
- Recurrent capsular contracture or malposition
- Changes in sensation
- Asymmetry or under-correction
- Visible scarring
- Need for further staged surgery
Previously operated tissue heals less predictably, and smoking and impaired circulation increase risk further, so smoking cessation is essential.
Who it suits
Correction surgery may suit patients unhappy with a previous result. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Have asymmetry, malposition, rippling, or an unnatural shape
- Have capsular contracture or poor scarring
- Had surgery elsewhere and want a specialist revision
- Understand revision can be less predictable than primary surgery
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations and do not smoke or can stop before and after surgery
It may not suit patients whose expectations cannot be met given their altered tissue, or those better served by removal. Your surgeon assesses the original surgery and your tissue before advising what is realistic.
Why Skulpturkliniken
Revision surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso
Correction surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Revision is the most demanding breast work, and his reconstructive microsurgery background gives him the command of altered anatomy that complex cases require.
Natural, balanced results
Dr. Amoroso approaches revision with restraint, correcting the specific problems while protecting healthy tissue, to achieve a natural, balanced result rather than over-correcting.
Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment
From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso reviews your history honestly, maps the problems precisely, and explains what is realistically achievable and whether one or more stages may be needed.
Individualized assessment
Every correction begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:
Previous records, imaging, and surgical history
The specific problems to correct
Implant, pocket, and capsule condition
Skin and tissue quality after prior surgery
Symmetry between sides
Whether a single or staged approach is safest
What Does Surgery Cost?
The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.
Every operation is individually planned, and the final price is discussed clearly during consultation after Dr. Matteo Amoroso has assessed your anatomy, goals, and surgical needs.
All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.
