Breast Implant Revision in Oklahoma City.

Revision surgery replaces, corrects, or removes breast implants — for size change, a firm scar shell (capsular contracture), a leak, implant position problems, or simply because you are done with implants.

Revision is harder than the first operation: scar tissue, thinner tissue, and an existing pocket all constrain the plan. It deserves a surgeon who does this work all the time — and an honest conversation about what is achievable.

Exchange, capsule release or removal, pocket repair, lift-with-exchange, or removal without replacement — revision plans vary widely, which is why the exam and your written quote come first.

How it works

What happens in the operating room.

  1. You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep).
  2. The surgeon usually re-opens the original scar — most often in the fold under the breast.
  3. The old implant comes out. Scar-shell tissue (the capsule) is released or removed as your plan requires.
  4. The pocket is repaired or reshaped when implants have shifted.
  5. A new implant is placed — or the pocket is closed if you are done with implants, sometimes with a lift.
  6. The cuts are closed in layers with dissolving stitches. You go home the same day in most plans.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult

Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.

  • The problems that brought you in can come back — capsular contracture recurs in some patients.
  • Changes in nipple feeling. It may decrease, increase, or go away.
  • Thinner tissue after prior surgery shows rippling more easily.
  • An implant can leak or break over time. Broken implants are replaced or removed.
  • Deflation of the result if you choose removal without replacement — a lift can help.
  • Uneven results. The two breasts are never a perfect match, and revision starts from an uneven baseline.
  • Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
  • Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
  • Scars. Revision usually reuses old scars, but healing differs each time.
  • Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
  • Problems from anesthesia. These are rare in healthy people.
  • The need for yet another surgery — revision patients know this risk best.

Recovery, honestly

What the weeks actually look like.

The arc

First few daysUsually easier than your first surgery — soreness, tightness, back-sleeping.
One weekMost desk workers return. No lifting over ten pounds.
Two weeksSoreness fades; light lower-body exercise is usually fine.
Six weeksFull exercise, including chest work. New implants settle over months.
MonthsThe final shape declares itself as swelling clears and tissue relaxes.

When to call, day or night

In any emergency, call 911 first

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department now — do not drive yourself, do not wait:

  • Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing.
  • Fainting, sudden confusion, or weakness on one side of the body.
  • One leg swells, or one calf hurts more than the other.
  • Blood soaks a bandage and does not slow down with gentle pressure.

Otherwise call 405-751-0042, day or night, if:

  • One breast becomes much more swollen, tight, or painful than the other.
  • You have a fever of 101.5°F (38.6°C) or higher.
  • Redness spreads out from an incision, or you see pus.

Cost, answered

What implant revision actually costs.

We don’t do internet price tags. Pricing moves with your anatomy, primary versus revision, and what your plan combines — so your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included. We honor it.

How pricing worksFinancing options
Implant warranty programs sometimes offset revision costs after rupture — bring your implant card to the consultation and we will check with you.

Questions

Asked at nearly every consult.

How long does the surgery take?
It depends entirely on the plan — a simple exchange is about an hour; capsule work and pocket repair take longer. Your estimate comes in writing at consultation.
When can I be back at work?
Most desk workers return at about one week — revision recovery is often gentler than the first operation unless muscle or pocket repair is involved.
Will there be scars?
Revision usually works through your existing scars, so most patients gain no new ones. Where a lift is added, its scars are planned with you first.
What does it cost?
Pricing is personal — it depends on your anatomy and the complexity of your plan. Your consultation ends with one written, all-in number: surgeon, anesthesia, AAAHC-accredited facility, and follow-up included.
Can I have my surgery in Oklahoma City?
Yes — Oklahoma Surgical Arts operates two operating rooms in Oklahoma City, and surgery can be scheduled in OKC or Tulsa. Your surgery, your choice of city.
