Having breast implant redo after 6 months to change style and size. I've heard it's an easier procedure and recovery. Is it? Would I be as swollen and would the implants be as high this time as they were the first time?
Answer: Breast swelling after Re-do Augmentation
It depends on what is being done. If it is straightforward removal and replacement in the same pocket, the swelling should be less. If there is a change of pocket, or extensive pocket dissection, then there may be swelling like you remember. Best to speak with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast revision
revision breast surgery may be less painful, assuming the implants are under the muscle, because the muscles have already been stretched. The amount of pain to expect does depend on what specifically will be done with the surgery. if it is a simple implant exchange, you should expect very little discomfort.

Answer: Recovery after redo Breast Aug
If there is not a lot of pocket work the recovery ought to be pretty easy. For example, if I just open an old scar and swap out implants there is little new raw areas and therefore your recovery is easy.
On the other hand, if there is a capsulectomy, a plane change, or other stuff, it may be some recovery.
So it really depends on the circumstances about YOU.

Generally speaking, although dependant on exactly what procedure is performed, breast augmentation revisionary surgery is associated with an easier recovery time. Also, generally speaking there is less time associated with breast implant “settling” and/or swelling. Pain/discomfort tends to be much less of an issue as well.
Your plastic surgeon will be able to advise you more precisely, depending on exactly what procedure is planned.
Best wishes.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Revision
Provided that no substantial dissection is done with regard to the pocket or the capsule, the recovery is much easier than the first surgery. In the simplest of cases, this would involve making the incision, placing the implant, and closing the incision.
