Recovery of breast implant revision
The recovery time of a breast augmentation revision is less than the first initial augmentation. Mainly due to the fact that there is already an existing pocket. However, it all depends on what work has to be done during the revision. If internal suturing is required, you may have more limitations than usual. Recovery may also depend on whether or not you go a much bigger size than before.

However, the recover associated with implant removal and transitiion from a subglandular to a submuscular pocket with lateral pole liposuction can be substantially more than the initial procedure.

Other kinds of revisions can require more surgery and consequently more recovery. It just all depends...
