Dissatisfaction with implants
It depends on why you are dissatisfied. At the very least, it will take a few weeks for the tissue swelling to improve enought to allow revision. Discuss this very carefully with your plastic surgeon.

Breast augmentation revisions
The essence of good plastic surgery, particularly for cosmetic plastic surgery, is knowing what is going to be done and what the result should be from that procedure. If the procedure is done properly, the way it was agreed upon, then there is a period of of healing and several weeks to months for tissue recovery and final results. Generally I require three months for full tissue recovery after breast augmentation but longer periods are sometimes a good idea depending on the issue....

Implant revision with removal
This is something you should share with your primary surgeon. All of us see patients who come from elsewhere for a revision, but from time to time our own patients need attention. If it is a size and shape issue, there may be charge sand a surgeon's fee to re-do things, downsize, even up size. The most athletic patients such as runners and swimmers have the toughest time with large augmentations at first, but in time things settle down.

Augmentation revisions
Hopefully you were part of the decision process of what size to select as most who are involved are quite delighted with their results.
If you feel your results do not meet your expectations, you really have to determine what is not right about them. If too large, you can have them removed or deflated if saline and my preference is to return a few months later after you have healed so the pocket can be customized for your new implant. If you are too small than what you...

Breast implant revision
Not sure exactly what you want? Are you unhappy because they are too big? or too small? If they are too small, revision should wait a few months(3-4 minimum). If they are too larger, you may want to have it done sooner if you just wnat them removed or smaller.

We don't use breast implants larger than 500cc's, and that rarely.
Hi.
I am sure you are much too big. A revision breast augmentation can be done anytime.

When is breast revision the best choice
I'm sorry you are not happy with your breast surgery results. As you can see by the other plastic surgeon's responses, it is best to allow some healing to occur before making a change. I can't tell if you feel as though you are too large or what it is you don't like about your results. The most appropriate thing to do is to meet with your plastic surgeron and discuss your concerns and review what your options are.
I hope this helps.

Revision breast surgery
It depends on why you hate them. Some patients need a period of adjustment to physically and emotionally get used to their new breasts. Some complaints may be related to the healing process and could get better or worse. You should ask your surgeon about these factors. You can remove them or exchange them at any time, but you need to be clear on what you want in their place otherwise you could be just as unhappy.

Timing of revision breast augmentation
I would wait a few months to let things settle before committing to another procedure and new implants. Each time you have surgery, there are some small risks that you need to be aware of, not to mention the potential additional costs, so I would wait a few months, then sit down with your surgeon and go over your concerns so that your result can be improved.

Early revision of breast implants
Size problems like yours should be very rare with proper time spent preop on getting the size right. Most would suggest you wait 3-4 months to be sure you still feel the way you do after all sweling is gone and you are healed. If yoy are totally unhappy now and there is no chance of adapting, then work with your surgeon who can replace them sooner. But be sure to spend a lot of time getting the size right this time!
