Contact UsWhat Is Breast Implant Revision?
Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly requested aesthetic surgeries, and for good reason — the results it produces are often outstanding. However, if you are not happy with your implants — whether they were placed during cosmetic or reconstructive surgery — a breast implant revision may help you attain a look you're happier with. At The Oregon Clinic and Réviance, we see patients who want to correct their breast implants for a variety of reasons, whether it's due to shape, size, deflation or rupture of the implant, or an adverse reaction causing symptoms. No matter your reason for wanting a breast implant revision, Portland, OR aesthetic surgeon Dr. Sean McNally will work to help you get the results you want.
Am I A Candidate for Breast Implant Revision?
Ideal candidates for breast implant revision are individuals who are dissatisfied with the results of a previous breast augmentation or are experiencing complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or asymmetry. Candidates should be in good overall health, nonsmokers, and have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes. This treatment is also suitable for those looking to update their implants' size, shape, or type to better align with their current aesthetic goals. At your consultation, we can help determine whether breast implant revision is the right choice for your needs.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Implant Revision?
If you're unsatisfied with the results of your breast augmentation due to complications or changes in your breasts' appearance, breast implant revision at The Oregon Clinic can help you get closer to the look you want. The benefits of breast implant revision include:
- Correcting sagging or symmetry problems
- Addressing pain caused by scar tissue
- Improving your overall body shape
- Can be combined with lift surgery for a more youthful aesthetic
How Does Breast Revision Work?
During your initial consultation at The Oregon Clinic or Réviance, Dr. McNally will speak with you to get an understanding of your cosmetic goals and why you aren't satisfied with your existing implants. Depending on the reason why you want a breast implant revision, your specific surgery may differ slightly. An incision will be made, and the existing implant will be removed along with any excess scar tissue in the breast. At that point, a new implant will be placed that better meets your shape and size goals. If your new implant is smaller, you can pair your implant revision with a breast lift to ensure your results look natural and lifted.
What Can I Expect After Breast Implant Revision?
After your breast implant revision or replacement, our team will monitor your initial recovery closely to ensure everything is healing properly and you’re comfortable with the outcome. Most patients can expect some swelling, tightness, and soreness in the first few days, which typically subsides within a week or two. We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions, including how to care for your incisions, what activities to avoid, and when to return for follow-up visits. Over time, your new implants or revisions made during surgery will settle into place, and your results will continue to improve, often looking and feeling more natural than before.
Is Breast Implant Revision Covered By Insurance?
Breast implant revision surgery may be covered by insurance if it is deemed medically necessary. This is often the case when correcting complications such as implant rupture, severe capsular contracture, or other health-related issues caused by the implants. However, if the revision is purely for cosmetic reasons, such as changing the size or shape of the implants to meet new aesthetic preferences, it is typically not covered by insurance. Our team can help you navigate the insurance process and determine your coverage options based on your specific situation.
The Oregon Clinic Reviews
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. McNally and his PA, Whitney. I first worked with Dr. McNally during a breast reduction that was part of my breast cancer surgery, and later again for my mastectomy, where he began my reconstruction and placed expanders. I’ll be continuing with him for my implant exchange, and I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my care.From the very beginning, Dr. McNally stood out not only for his knowledge and surgical skill, but for the way he approaches patient care as a whole. He took the time to carefully consider every decision through the lens of my cancer diagnosis, always making sure that my health and long-term outcome were the top priority. That level of thoughtfulness and intention made a difficult process feel much more manageable. He’s also incredibly personable—his sense of humor helped ease a lot of anxiety during an otherwise overwhelming time.Whitney is equally exceptional. I’ve had multiple appointments with her, and she has a natural ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease almost immediately. She is kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable, and she takes the time to answer questions in a way that makes you feel informed and supported. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and takes pride in the care she provides.Together, Dr. McNally and Whitney make an outstanding team. Their communication, compassion, and expertise create an environment where you feel truly cared for and confident in your treatment plan. I’m incredibly grateful to have them as part of my care team and would highly recommend them to anyone navigating a similar journey.
Dr. McNally removed two epidural cysts, one on my cheek and one on the back of my neck. He did a great job and I am very happy with the result. Communication was good with he and his office staff. In the future, I will use him again if necessary.
A real professional. I felt so comfortable when meeting with Dr. McNally and he answered all of my questions with ease. 10/10 experience.
I have wanted/needed a breast reduction for most of my life. I had insecurities about my body but more importantly I experienced chronic back pain. I tried everything before reaching out to Dr. McNally for his opinion. Sean McNally has such a kind yet comical nature; he made me feel heard, reassured and so at ease through everything.. You can tell this comes as a second nature to him. I am still in disbelief with how easy the process was leading up to my surgery and how amazing his team has been throughout my recovery. My new breasts look absolutely beautiful and have already made me feel more comfortable and confident than ever before.
I am thrilled with my results!! It was such a big decision to have my surgery. Dr McNally and his staff are so friendly and professional and made the whole experience the best.

About UsBreast Implant Revision FAQs
How much does breast revision surgery cost?
The cost of breast revision surgery will vary depending on what must be done. In your consultation, Dr. McNally will listen carefully to your needs and goals before performing a physical examination of your current implants. After this, he can discuss your options before developing your surgical plan. The cost of breast revision surgery will be based on the extent of the procedure, as well as what you choose for your new implants. It is best to focus on getting the desired results by choosing a skilled plastic surgeon, like Dr. McNally, rather than the cheapest surgeon. To help make your surgery affordable, The Oregon Clinic and Réviance accepts many different payments, and we will give you information on low-interest financing.
What if Dr. McNally wasn't my original surgeon?
Dr. McNally can perform your revision surgery even if he wasn't the surgeon who did your original breast augmentation. Revision surgery is sometimes more complex than augmentation surgery if you want dramatic changes or have problems, which is why it's important to find a plastic surgeon like Dr. McNally, who has years of advanced training and experience in breast surgery. Dr. McNally also welcomes his patients to return to The Oregon Clinic and Réviance for revision surgery after their original breast augmentation surgery if they notice an issue or would like new implants.
What about loose skin after breast implant revision?
When you are getting your implants exchanged or removed, you may need to have excess skin removed during your surgery. After listening to your goals and assessing your current implants, Dr. McNally can discuss the need for a breast lift to remove sagging skin. If you lose a significant amount of weight, become pregnant, or breastfeed after augmentation surgery, a breast revision with a lift can help you get better results.
