Some women have had their implants in for many years and are due for a replacement, while others have experienced changes in their breasts due to aging or have an implant-related problem that requires revision.
If you are considering revision breast surgery in New York City, schedule a consultation at Bianca Molina Plastic Surgery in Lower Manhattan. Dr. Molina is a board-certified plastic surgeon who is passionate about helping women feel their best.
Revision breast surgery, or breast implant revision, typically involves replacing or removing your breast implants and doing any necessary work to reshape or lift breast tissue that may have changed over time. Sometimes, supportive mesh, or an “internal bra,” is placed in patients who have had long-standing implants and now have dropping of the implant and breast position. The internal bra serves as a supportive structure to help suspend the implant and breast tissue in a more youthful position on the chest wall. Mesh can also be used in revision breast surgery where no implant is being placed.
Revision breast surgery is not a standardized procedure and needs to be tailored specifically to each patient. Dr. Molina has experience with revision breast surgery and takes pride in safely delivering the improvement that patients desire.

Revision Breast Surgery First Step
The initial consultation is extremely important if you are considering revision breast surgery, as this is a highly tailored procedure. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Bianca Molina in our NYC private office to obtain a comprehensive assessment and receive surgery recommendations.
Patients undergoing revision breast surgery will have surgery performed by Dr. Bianca Molina at an accredited facility. This surgery is done under general anesthesia and will be administered by an Anesthesiologist. The surgery itself may take anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure required.
Incisions are made in a pre-specified pattern and are tailored to each patient depending on what you need for your revision breast surgery. Generally, implants are replaced or removed, and then the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to sit in a more youthful position above the implant. A supportive mesh or “internal bra” may be placed as well. The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, and you are placed in a supportive bra prior to going to the recovery room.
Following your surgery, you will recover in a private recovery room prior to going home. You will need someone to take you home after surgery.
Before leaving, the recovery team will carefully review all your postoperative instructions again so you know what to expect and what to do at home.
You can expect to see swelling and some pain in the initial days of your recovery. Healing will continue for several weeks as swelling decreases and the breast settles into position.
