What is Breast Implant Repositioning?
Breast implant repositioning is a specialized surgical procedure within breast implant revision that focuses on correcting the placement of breast implants that have shifted from their intended position. This procedure addresses issues such as implants sitting too high, too low, or too close together (symmastia), which can cause discomfort or an unnatural appearance. The goal of breast implant repositioning is to restore proper implant alignment and improve breast symmetry while maintaining a natural look.
How is Breast Implant Repositioning Performed?
Dr. Jennyfer F. Cocco, MD performs breast implant repositioning with precision and care to ensure optimal results. The surgery typically begins under anesthesia to provide comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Cocco reopens the existing incision or creates a new one if needed to access the implant pocket.
She then carefully adjusts or reconstructs the implant pocket to secure the implant in its correct position. This may involve releasing scar tissue, tightening or repositioning surrounding tissues, or reinforcing the breast pocket to prevent future displacement. Once the implant is properly positioned, Dr. Cocco closes the incisions with fine sutures aimed at minimizing scarring. Throughout the process, Dr. Cocco customizes each step to the patient’s unique anatomy and goals, prioritizing both aesthetic balance and long-term comfort.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Repositioning?
Women considering breast implant repositioning may find themselves good candidates if they experience specific signs indicating the need for this procedure. If you notice significant changes in breast shape, such as asymmetry or sagging, it may be time for breast revision surgery. Additionally, if your implants have shifted due to implant malposition, leading to discomfort or dissatisfaction, repositioning can restore balance and enhance your overall appearance.

Consulting with a qualified surgeon such as Dr. Cocco, will help determine your suitability for this procedure.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
During your consultation for breast implant repositioning, you’ll engage in a thorough discussion about your goals and concerns.

This breast implant revision consultation aims to guarantee you understand the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes. You’ll also discuss anesthesia options and recovery time to help you feel more confident moving forward.
Common Reasons for Breast Implant Repositioning
Breast implant repositioning becomes necessary for various reasons, primarily due to complications that arise post-surgery. Some common issues include:
- Implant malposition, where the implant shifts from its intended place.
- High riding implants, which may create an unnatural appearance.
- Bottoming out, where the implant descends too low on the chest.
- Symmastia, a condition where implants merge, can also necessitate repositioning.
These complications often lead patients to seek breast revision, aiming to restore both aesthetics and comfort. Addressing these issues promptly guarantees ideal results and enhances overall satisfaction with your breast implant experience.
Benefits of Breast Implant Repositioning
This procedure effectively addresses issues like malposition, ensuring a natural appearance and improved symmetry. You’ll experience increased satisfaction with your results, which can boost self-esteem. Additionally, breast implant replacement surgery may be necessary if implants are damaged or outdated. Ultimately, repositioning not only resolves complications but also helps you achieve the desired look, contributing to a more positive body image and overall happiness.
Factors That Can Affect Breast Symmetry Beyond Implant Position
In some cases, what appears to be an implant out of place may actually be an optical illusion caused by other factors affecting breast appearance. Uneven breast tissue, sagging skin, or asymmetry in the position of the areola and nipples can make implants look crooked or misaligned even when they are properly positioned. Conditions like breast ptosis (sagging) or differences in natural breast volume can also contribute to this uneven look. Correcting these underlying issues often requires additional procedures such as:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): to tighten sagging skin and reshape the breast for a more youthful contour
- Areola/Nipple Repositioning: to balance uneven nipple placement and improve symmetry
- Fat Grafting: to add volume and smooth out asymmetries in breast tissue
- Capsulectomy or Capsulotomy: to remove or release scar tissue (capsular contracture) that may be causing implant distortion or displacement.
By combining breast implant repositioning with these complementary procedures, Dr. Cocco can create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all factors contributing to breast asymmetry and restores a natural, balanced appearance.
Additional Information
Before undergoing breast implant repositioning, it’s essential to prepare adequately to guarantee a smooth surgical experience and ideal results. Discuss your medical history with Dr. Cocco, as it impacts your breast implant revision procedure. After surgery, expect some swelling and discomfort, which is normal as your body adjusts to the new positioning of breast tissue and the implant. Recovery from breast revision typically takes a few weeks, during which rest and following post-operative instructions are important. Be aware of potential risks, including infection and scarring, and maintain open communication with your surgeon to address any concerns during your recovery.
