What Revision Breast Augmentation Is
Revision breast augmentation is performed when a patient wants to change implant size or type, or when implants require correction over time due to changes in breast tissue, implant position, or scar tissue formation.
Revision is highly individualized. Dr. Rockwell’s approach focuses on safety, predictable outcomes, and natural-looking proportion.
