Unhappy with your breast implants? Dr. Crantford specializes in revision surgery that corrects complications and delivers better results.
REQUEST A CONSULTATIONThere are many reasons patients choose breast revision surgery. Here are the most common complications and concerns we address.
Scar tissue hardens around the implant, causing firmness, pain, or distortion. Dr. Crantford performs capsulectomy (scar tissue removal) and exchanges implants for newer Motiva implants with lower contracture rates.
Silicone or saline implants can rupture or deflate due to normal wear, trauma, or manufacturing defects. Revision involves removing the damaged implant and replacing it with a new one.
Implants positioned too high, too low, too far apart (symmastia), or too far laterally. Dr. Crantford repositions implants and uses internal bra techniques to secure them properly.
Many patients desire larger or smaller implants after living with their current implants. Revision allows you to adjust your size to better match your current goals and body changes.
Implant edges or rippling visible through the skin, especially in thin individuals or those with saline implants. Dr. Crantford may switch to silicone gel implants or add additional soft tissue for coverage.
Uneven results from prior surgery, different-sized implants, or changing body contours. Revision can improve balance through implant exchange, repositioning, and complementary procedures like fat transfer or breast lift.
Dr. Crantford brings advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to every revision procedure.
Visualize your revision results before surgery. Dr. Crantford uses this advanced technology to plan implant positioning, size changes, and shape adjustments specific to your anatomy.
6th-generation FDA-approved implants with <1% capsular contracture rate. When exchanging implants, Dr. Crantford chooses Motiva for superior durability, natural feel, and long-term safety.
For revision cases with malposition or complex anatomy, Dr. Crantford uses internal bra (acellular dermal matrix or internal scaffolding) to provide additional support and ensure optimal positioning.
Even revision procedures benefit from ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols. Optimized anesthesia, pain management, and post-operative care minimize discomfort and accelerate healing.
From consultation to results, here’s what your breast revision experience will include.
Dr. Crantford listens carefully to understand your concerns with your current implants. He examines you, reviews any prior surgical records if available, and uses Crisalix 3D imaging to show you potential results before surgery.
Revision procedures are performed under general anesthesia in a fully-accredited surgical facility. Dr. Crantford carefully addresses the specific concern (contracture, malposition, rupture, etc.) and places new implants or removes and exchanges as needed.
Most revision patients return to light activity within 2–3 weeks, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks. Final results improve as swelling subsides over 3–6 months. Dr. Crantford provides detailed post-operative care instructions and is available throughout your recovery.
Breast revision is specialized surgery that requires not only technical expertise, but also empathy for patients who are disappointed with previous results. Dr. Clayton Crantford brings both — he’s a board-certified plastic surgeon with advanced training in revision techniques, and he genuinely cares about understanding your frustrations and delivering the results you deserve.
