Breast Implant Revision in Connecticut with Dr. Wilfred Brown

Changes in the breasts and/or the breast implants can occur and prompt the decision to have breast implant revision surgery. Breast implant revision surgery is not considered a routine procedure. It is performed when a patient who had previous breast augmentation is concerned about the integrity of their implants or is looking to improve the appearance of their breasts, which may have changed over time.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Implant Revision?
Over time, breast implants, breast tissue and the overlying breast skin can change and impact the appearance or feel of the breasts, signaling that it may be time to revise your breast augmentation surgery. Breast implant revision procedures aim to restore breast appearance and the feel of breasts by removing or replacing existing implants.
Breast implant revision can enhance the appearance of breasts by:
- Changing the size of breasts
- Updating materials: saline, silicone, or other different styles of implants
Am I A Good Candidate for Breast Revision?
Typically, breast implant revision candidates are women in reasonably good mental and physical health, looking to improve the appearance of their breast augmentation surgery or are concerned about the integrity of their current implants.
Dr. Brown recommends Connecticut breast revision candidates should:
- Be generally healthy
- Be finished with childbearing and breastfeeding
- Not smoke or be willing to quit prior to surgery
- Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook
- Be prepared to closely follow instructions

Connecticut Breast implant Revision FAQs
Most patients notice improvements immediately following their breast revision. You may experience bruising and swelling that obscures your true results. As your body heals, your new contours will become more visible. Swelling may take 6-12 months to fully resolve and for breasts to feel normal.
Following a breast implant removal and revision, your results will vary based on several factors:
- Implant size
- Scar tissue quantity
- Quality and quantity of remaining breast tissue
Breast implant revision costs in Connecticut are highly customizable and determined by your individual needs. At the time of your consultation, you will be provided with a detailed estimate of your Connecticut breast implant revision costs.
Typically, most patients are feeling better within one week and may return to light work at that point. For more physically-demanding jobs, patients may require 2-3 weeks before resuming their normal duties to avoid activities that use the chest muscles. Following your breast implant revision, you will be required to wear a surgical or sports bra for 6 weeks.
Timing depends on the nature of the problem. Revision may be necessary within weeks of identifying urgent situations like implant rupture or infection. A conservative waiting period of six months to a year is typically safer in less critical cases. This timeline allows your scars to mature and your body to fully heal, giving Dr. Brown a more accurate picture of the long-term outcome.
In many cases, Dr. Brown follows the old incision lines to avoid creating new scarring. However, implant repositioning or scar tissue removal may require a new or extended incision to ensure complete access and optimal results. Dr. Brown takes care to make his surgical incisions in places where they’ll heal discreetly and you can conceal them with clothes.
Postsurgical changes in breast sensation are common. Revision surgery may alleviate tension caused by implants, tighten skin bands, or correct implant malposition that contributes to numbness or hypersensitivity. Many patients report a gradual improvement in sensation over several months of recovery.
Revision surgery carries similar risks as primary breast procedures – such as infection, bleeding, implant complications, changes in nipple sensation, scarring, and potential dissatisfaction with results. Revision procedures may be more complex due to scar tissue or anatomical changes. Dr. Brown will explain these risk factors, provide strategies to mitigate them, and set realistic expectations for your outcome.
If maintaining breastfeeding ability is a priority for you, please discuss this with Dr. Brown during your consultation. He can recommend techniques that minimize disruption to your breast tissue and preserve your milk ducts.
Many women pursue breast revision surgery to update their implant shape, size, texture, and material for improved projection or a more natural appearance. Dr. Brown will explain pros and cons, help you visualize potential changes, and ensure your new implants meet your needs.
Insurance policies sometimes cover revision procedures performed to address medical concerns such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or infection. You’ll need to pay for your costs out of pocket if you choose this option for purely cosmetic reasons. Our office accepts CareCredit and monthly payment plans and will coordinate with your insurance provider, if applicable, to maximize your coverage.
Dr. Brown and his team will provide detailed preparation instructions tailored to your procedural plan. In general, you may need to get routine lab screenings, stop smoking, and quit taking medications that can increase bleeding risks. You’ll also need to arrange for someone to drive you home and help you with household tasks for the first few days.
