Many women have undergone breast surgery for one reason or another. With time, aging, pregnancy or fluctuations in weight, the appearance of your breasts has likely changed.
If you’re no longer satisfied with the results of a breast augmentation or breast lift procedure and are considering breast revision surgery, Dr. Kiran Gill can create a tailored approach to achieve your breast goals. With years of experience and her ability to prioritize her clients goals, it is easy to say Dr. Gill delivers one the best breast revisions.
The most common reasons to seek breast revision are:
- Implant exchange – This is when a woman desires to switch the size, shape or type of implant, such as switching from a C cup to a D cup, or switching from silicone to saline.
- Removing implants – In some cases, a woman will wish to return to her breast shape and size before augmentation.
- Capsular contracture – This is a somewhat common complication that occurs when the pocket housing the breast implant hardens, causing distortion of the implant and sometimes is accompanied by discomfort.
- Breast asymmetry – Breast revision can help restore balance to breasts that have become asymmetrical, either naturally or through shifting of the implants.
- Malposition – Breast implants occasionally shift from their original position, either drifting downwards, upwards, outwards or inwards. Breast revision can help reverse these complications, restoring an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the chest.
- Rupture – While rare, implants do occasionally rupture. Breast revision can repair this, placing a fresh implant whose cost is usually covered by the manufacturer as part of their warranty.
Benefits of Revision Breast Surgery
Dr. Gill’s breast revision surgery is designed solely for patients who have already had some type of breast enhancement procedure and have fully recovered from surgery. If you are no longer happy with the final outcome and are ready for a change, Dr. Gill can create a customized treatment plan that will help you achieve the results you want.
Whether you want larger breasts, a lift, or need to balance out asymmetrical breasts after implants, Dr. Gill’s breast revision surgery can help.

Breast Revision Candidates
Undergoing a second breast enhancement procedure is a personal decision. It’s important to understand the inherent risks of undergoing any type of surgical procedure and have realistic expectations about the results of this procedure.
You may be a good candidate for a breast revision if you:
- Are in good health, both psychologically and physiologically
- Are free from any major medical issues that might interfere with surgery or its recovery
- Are willing to follow Dr. Gill’s instructions to the letter, both before and after your treatment
- Are not a smoker or have stopped smoking
- Are prepared for a potentially longer procedure than your first surgery
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome of revisionary surgery
Undergoing Revision Breast Surgery
Revision procedures are often performed under general anesthesia because they can take longer than the average breast enhancement procedure. Dr. Gill may need to remove tissue, replace an implant, or manipulate breast tissue and skin to create the desired result.
The procedure will be completely customized for your specific needs and Dr. Gill will provide information about the surgery, technique, and post-op expectations during your consultation.
