Revision breast surgery in Seoul, Korea
Revision breast surgery in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: correct capsular contracture, implant displacement, rippling or a size you want to change.
Typical ranges for revision breast surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is revision breast surgery?
Revision breast surgery corrects problems after previous breast augmentation — such as capsular contracture, implant displacement, rippling, rupture or dissatisfaction with size — or replaces older implants. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon using endoscopic visualization.
Each problem has a different cause, so diagnosis with examination and ultrasound comes first. Treatment may involve removing the capsule, changing the pocket plane, exchanging the implant for a different type or size, or adding support to the fold.
Who is revision breast surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Breasts that have become hard, painful or distorted
- Implants that sit too high, too low or too far apart
- Visible rippling or a double-bubble contour
- A wish to change implant size or type, or to replace older implants
How revision breast surgery is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon reviews your previous surgery, examines the breasts and implants with ultrasound, and explains the cause of the problem and the options to correct it.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Correcting the pocket and implant The capsule is released or removed as needed, the pocket is adjusted or moved to a new plane, and a new implant is placed under endoscopic view.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.

Frequently asked questions
What is capsular contracture?
It is tightening of the scar capsule that naturally forms around an implant, which can make the breast feel firm, look distorted or become painful.
Do implants need to be replaced after a certain number of years?
There is no fixed expiry date. Implants are replaced if a problem is detected or if you wish to change them. Regular ultrasound checks are recommended.
Can I change implant brand or size during revision?
Yes. Revision is an opportunity to choose a different size, profile or brand from Motiva, Mentor, Sebbin or Bounce.
