Breast revision is a secondary breast procedure for patients who want to update, correct, remove, or exchange prior implants or improve breast shape after previous surgery. Dr. Barker's Denver consultation reviews implant history, capsule concerns, tissue quality, current goals, and whether exchange, removal, lift, or staged care is appropriate.
Your plan is created and performed by Dr. Eric Barker, MD, a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, and confirmed only after a private, in-person consultation. Individual results vary.

Purpose
Breast revision is a secondary breast procedure for patients who want to update, correct, remove, or exchange prior implants or improve breast shape after previous surgery. Dr. Barker's Denver consultation reviews implant history, capsule concerns, tissue quality, current goals, and whether exchange, removal, lift, or staged care is appropriate.
Best fit
Candidates may have changed preferences, aging implants, asymmetry, firmness, rippling, size concerns, or a result that no longer fits their body or lifestyle. Every recommendation is confirmed during a private consultation in Denver after health history, anatomy, goals, timing, and recovery expectations are reviewed.
Next step
Schedule a private consultation or call (720) 500-3815 to discuss timing, candidacy, and realistic options.
Ideal Candidate
Candidates may have changed preferences, aging implants, asymmetry, firmness, rippling, size concerns, or a result that no longer fits their body or lifestyle. Every recommendation is confirmed during a private consultation in Denver after health history, anatomy, goals, timing, and recovery expectations are reviewed.
Technique and Options
Revision planning can include implant exchange, pocket adjustment, capsule work, implant removal, lift, fat transfer, or staged reconstruction of shape. The safest approach depends on prior operative details and the current exam.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery varies more than primary augmentation because revision cases differ widely. The consultation sets expectations around downtime, support garments, and follow-up milestones.
Cost and Financing
Revision costs depend on case complexity, implant choices, capsule work, and whether multiple techniques are combined. Exact pricing is provided during your consultation once the plan is defined.
Procedure FAQ
Clear answers before consultation.
These questions and answers are here to help you prepare for your consultation. Individual results vary, and any recommendation is made after an in-person evaluation.
When should breast implants be exchanged?
There is no single timeline for every patient. Exchange may be considered for rupture, capsular contracture, size change, aging implants, or changed goals.
Can implants be removed without replacement?
Yes, some patients choose removal. Depending on skin and tissue, a lift or fat transfer may be discussed to support shape.
Is revision more complex than first-time augmentation?
Often, yes. Prior pocket position, capsule condition, scar tissue, and tissue changes can affect planning.
Do I need old records?
Prior implant details and operative records can be helpful when available, especially implant type, size, and previous surgical approach.
