What is Breast Implant Pocket Revision?
Breast implant pocket revision is a specialized surgical procedure within breast implant revision that focuses on correcting the space (or “pocket”) where the implant sits inside the breast. Over time or due to complications, this pocket can stretch, shift, or become misshapen, causing the implant to move out of its ideal position. Breast pocket revision surgery reshapes or reinforces this area to secure the implant properly, improving breast symmetry, appearance, and comfort.
How is Breast Implant Pocket Revision Performed?
Dr. Jennyfer F. Cocco, MD performs breast implant pocket revision under anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. During the procedure, she accesses the implant pocket through existing or carefully placed incisions. Dr. Cocco then adjusts the pocket by tightening stretched tissue, releasing scar tissue if necessary, or reconstructing the pocket walls to provide better support for the implant. This precise reshaping helps reposition the implant to its correct location.
Once the pocket is securely formed, the incision is closed with fine sutures designed to minimize scarring. Throughout the surgery, Dr. Cocco tailors each step to your anatomy and goals, aiming for natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Pocket Revision?
Candidates for breast implant pocket revision typically exhibit signs of implant malposition, such as lateral displacement, bottoming out, or asymmetry, which indicate compromised implant pocket integrity. If you’ve experienced changes in the position or shape of your breast augmentation results, or notice discomfort or rippling, you may be suitable for this procedure. Ideal candidates are those seeking correction of implant pocket issues to restore natural appearance and comfort. A thorough evaluation by Dr. Cocco guarantees that the root cause is identified, and a tailored approach is developed.

What to Expect During Your Consultation
During your consultation for breast implant pocket revision, Dr. Cocco will first review your previous breast augmentation procedure to understand the original implant placement and surgical approach. She will then conduct a thorough assessment of your current breast anatomy and implant position. This examination helps determine the finest approach for your breast revision surgery, including considerations for implant removal if necessary. You can expect an in-depth discussion about your goals, concerns, and medical history. Dr. Cocco will evaluate tissue quality, scar tissue, and implant stability.

Common Reasons for Breast Implant Pocket Revision
Breast Implant pocket revision surgery is often necessary to correct issues such as malposition, capsular contracture, or changes in tissue anatomy. Implant malposition includes displacement, bottoming out, or symmastia, which compromise symmetry and aesthetic results. Capsular contracture involves abnormal scar tissue formation around the implant, distorting the pocket shape and causing firmness or discomfort. Changes in breast tissue or anatomy post-surgery can alter implant positioning or appearance over time. Downsizing implants may also require pocket adjustments. Addressing these issues guarantees ideal implant placement, symmetry, and patient satisfaction, highlighting the importance of precise surgical intervention for long-term results.
Additional Information
Proper preparation for breast implant pocket revision involves thorough consultation to assess implant positioning, implant size, and surrounding tissue health, guaranteeing you understand the procedure’s scope and expected outcomes. If a breast lift is necessary to improve shape or address sagging, this will be discussed during planning. Understanding your goals allows for precise adjustments to the implant pocket, minimizing risks and optimizing results. Awareness of potential recovery timelines, post-operative care, and associated risks guarantees informed decision-making. Clear communication with your surgeon ensures tailored treatment, whether addressing implant malposition or tissue support, ultimately enhancing your safety and satisfaction.
