What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the U.S., and in the majority of cases, it results in terrific outcomes. However, sometimes, a patient can be dissatisfied with the appearance of her breasts and may require breast revision treatment. Keep in mind not all revision surgeries are due to practitioner error. While few breast augmentations end with an unpleasing outcome, some women want a larger or smaller implant while some may have a defect and prefer to have the implant revised or removed altogether. Furthermore, some women require revision surgery for a specific condition, such as implant removal, capsulotomy, capsulectomy, or capsulorrhaphy. Fredericksburg, VA plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki provide breast revision surgery after giving an in-depth assessment at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg so that the correct outcome is attained.
What Should I Expect from a Breast Revision?
When you come for your initial consultation, we will learn about your health history, issues, and needs to determine the best way to address your specific concerns. Breast revision surgeries are typically a straightforward procedure performed in our Fredericksburg, VA practice. Revision surgery is an individualized procedure designed to address your unique cosmetic needs. Whether your treatment plan includes an implant revision or removal, capsulotomy, capsulectomy, or capsulorrhaphy, Drs. Heppe, Bautista, and Aflaki will customize the procedure to ensure you get the results you are looking for. It may be necessary to combine services, such as a breast lift with your implant removal, to achieve optimal results.
What Are the Benefits of A Breast Revision?
There are a number of reasons patients choose breast revision procedures at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg. If you desire to improve the volume of the implants or resolve issues from a previous aesthetic treatment, breast revision surgery can help you reach the look you are going for with a few great benefits, including:
- Adjusts implant size

- Eliminates scar tissue

What Can I Expect After Breast Revision?
Following your surgery and an observation period, you will be sent home to begin your recovery. The overall recovery varies based on the complexity of your surgery. A revision that requires any type of reconstruction or grafting will have a longer recovery, which could last up to 6 – 8 weeks. You should slowly start to see your surgical results once the swelling begins to go down. Dr. Heppe or someone on his team will discuss what is expected during your recovery, plus recommendations to help you heal faster. You should attend follow-up appointments as directed so Dr. Heppe can assess your recovery and results.

Amazing results - I look better than I ever have in my life - Dr Aflaki is a magician. I am so happy with my results . I was back to work in 2 weeks after TT and arm lift. Zero pain after 2 days. The scars are almost gone. I look better than i ever have in my life!
I had my breast augmentation back in May 2024. I am so happy with Dr. Aflaki and the work that he has done. I am close to 4 months post op and am absolutely in love with them. I was so scared to get it done because of all the horror stories I have heard from peers of them getting this procedure done at other places. But this is something I have always dreamed of and when I came in for my consultation I was greeted so warmly from the front desk ladies and the nurse that attended me that day Nurse Jamie was so reassuring and nice. After meeting the Dr I realized that this is an office I could trust. The healing process was smooth, I understand every case is different. For me I wasn't continuously bleeding as I heard that is something a lot of people go through. If I were to do it again I would.
My wife had a procedure done over a decade ago that she has been very happy with. As well, we really appreciated the demeanor and the way the doctor works, no pressure, no false promises. She just had a procedure done about a week ago that was significantly more invasive than her first one. We drove back to Fredericksburg from New England because of the trust and relationship that had developed with Dr. Batista's practice. She had many options in New England but the relationships were not there and the demeanor of the practices were far more aggressive in pushing products. She has a healing process ahead but I think she will be very pleased with the outcome and I'm sure we will return if she wants any other procedures.
Dr. Bautista is incredibly knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. The overall experience exceeded my expectations and I'm extremely happy with the results. I should have come years ago! Less cost than I anticipated. Treated like a Queen! Highly recommended. Will come again.
If you are looking for a surgeon to trust with your aesthetic surgery, Dr. Bautista is a great choice! Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg is worth looking into for anyone in the Fredericksburg, Richmond, or Northern VA area. Dr. Bautista is a kind, professional, and honest surgeon who is straightforward and very good at what he does. Dr. Bautista ensured that I felt confident in the plan and fully understood the risks and benefits of the procedure. I work in healthcare so I had lots of questions related to my procedure and he (and his staff) took the time to make sure to answer all of my questions and accommodate extra appointments. The costs were fair and straightforward and there were no "hidden fees".

Am I a Candidate for a Breast Revision?
Should you have any trouble (either medical or cosmetic) about your breast implants, please make an appointment for a consultation at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg to talk about your goals and to develop your unique plan for breast revision surgery. Whether it's scarring, breast drooping, rippling, or unbalanced breasts, revision surgery can help correct the problem and create a more pleasing and healthy outcome. This operation may also help if you are wanting to alter the implant style, size, or address another aspect of your breasts.
How much does breast revision surgery cost?
Your cost for breast revision surgery will vary greatly depending on the complexity of your procedure. During your consultation, a team member will listen carefully to your concerns and goals before completing a physical exam to assess your implants. Then, they will talk about your options before developing your surgical plan. The cost of breast revision surgery will be based on the complexity of the procedure plus what you choose for your new implants. It's best to focus on getting the desired results by finding an experienced provider rather than the cheapest surgeon. To help make your surgery easy to afford, Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg accepts many different payment methods, and we can give you information on low-interest medical financing.
Do I have to change my implants?
Although implants can last a long time, they will require replacement eventually. After augmentation surgery, it's important to get your implants checked at least once a year so a team member can help you determine if your implants need to be replaced. With so many advances in medical technology, you may prefer the new implant types and shapes to get the best outcome during breast revision surgery.
What about loose skin?
If you are getting your implants removed or are changing to a significantly smaller size of implants, you may need to have excess skin removed during your surgery. After listening to your goals and evaluating your current implants, a team member can discuss adding a breast lift to remove loose skin. If you lose much weight, get pregnant, or breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery, a revision with a lift can help you get better results.
