Is breast implant pocket revision recovery time shorter?

March 4, 2023
Asked By:Jubilant172626 in Saskatchewan, Canada

My implants are placed too high and have strong animation deformity. My doctor recommended pocket revision to lower the implants and and capsulectomy with the same implants. He said my breast will go through the same recovery time of riding high as originally. But if im not changing to bigger implants and adjusting the pocket lower, why will it still ride high for months like a primary breast augmentation?
