Breast Implant Revision in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Revision surgery fixes a problem with breast implants placed in the past. Common reasons are a hard scar shell, a leak, a shift in position, or a change of heart about size. Options include swapping implants, removing scar tissue, or removing implants for good.

Removing implants without replacing them is always a fair choice. Some women also add a lift at the same time.

Performed by the surgeons of Tulsa Surgical Arts — the practice behind the AACS-certified cosmetic surgery fellowship — in an AAAHC-accredited surgery center with a private overnight guest suite. Fixing what isn’t right — carefully.

How it works

What happens in the operating room.

  1. You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep).
  2. The surgeon usually works through your old scar when possible.
  3. The old implant comes out. Hard scar tissue around it may be removed too (this is called a capsulectomy).
  4. If you chose new implants, the pocket is adjusted and the new implants go in.
  5. If not, the pocket is closed. A lift can be added if the skin is loose.
  6. The cuts are closed in layers. Small drains are sometimes used for a few days.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult

Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.

  • The same risks as first-time implant surgery, and scar tissue can come back.
  • Changed nipple feeling.
  • The breast shape after removal depends on your skin and tissue. It may look deflated at first.
  • More surgery may still be needed later.
  • Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
  • Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
  • Scars. Every cut leaves a scar. Most fade over a year. Some stay raised or wide.
  • Numb skin near the cuts. Feeling usually returns over months. Small areas can stay numb.
  • Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
  • Problems from anesthesia (the medicine that makes you sleep). These are rare in healthy people.
  • Uneven results. The two sides of the body are never a perfect match.
  • The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.

Cost, answered

What breast implant revision actually costs.

We don’t do internet price tags. Pricing moves with your anatomy, primary versus revision, and what your plan combines — so your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included. We honor it.

How pricing worksFinancing — PatientFi · CareCredit · Cherry
Combining procedures shares anesthesia and facility time — combinations are priced as one plan at consultation.
