Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for breast revision in San Diego or Encinitas if you:
- Are in good overall health

The Breast Revision Process
Breast revision is a complex procedure that is highly dependent on your unique anatomy. As such, each revision begins with a thorough review of your goals and health history. Whether you need a capsulectomy, pocket reconstruction, or implant removal with a breast lift, Dr. Gupta will create a bespoke surgical plan that meets your needs.
The day of your surgery, Dr. Gupta will perform your revision under general anesthesia. The specifics of your procedure will depend on what you hope to achieve, but it may involve removing or replacing your implants, reshaping your breast pocket, removing scar tissue, or elevating sagging tissue. In some cases, Dr. Gupta can also perform fat grafting to smooth your breast contours and add subtle volume.
Breast Revision Frequently Asked Questions
Is breast revision more complicated than the first surgery?
In most cases, yes. Breast revision requires advanced surgical judgment and precision to correct complications and manage scar tissue. Dr. Gupta’s reconstructive background and extensive experience with complex breast procedures make him especially qualified to handle these cases.
Will I have new scars after my breast revision?
Whenever possible, Dr. Gupta will use your existing incision lines to minimize new scarring. In some cases, he may need to create new or extend existing incisions to ensure optimal outcomes.
Can breast revision fix asymmetry or uneven results from my prior breast augmentation?
Yes. Dr. Gupta often performs revision procedures to correct breast asymmetry and uneven implants. During surgery, he will precisely adjust your implant pockets and refine the overall shape of your breasts to restore balance and harmony.
Are breast revision results permanent?
Your results will be very long-lasting, but any future changes–such as aging and weight fluctuations–can impact your breasts. Additionally, breast implants have a lifespan, so they will need to be replaced eventually. During your consultation, Dr. Gupta will discuss these factors with you and make a plan to preserve your results as long as possible.
Is breast revision covered by insurance?
Health insurance may cover some aspects of your revision if it’s medically necessary. For example, if you need to correct capsular contracture or implant rupture.
