Implant Revision or Removal Overview
Consultation
Your implant revision begins with a 60-minute consultation with Dr. Hunsicker.
During this appointment, she’ll review your medical history, discuss your goals for revision or removal, and explain the surgical process. Dr. Hunsicker will ensure your mammogram is current and may order bloodwork to prepare for a safe, successful procedure. We’ll help you schedule your pre-op and surgery dates if breast implant revision in Littleton, CO, is the best step in your journey.
Pre-Op
About 2 weeks before your procedure, you’ll have a preoperative appointment where Dr. Hunsicker will finalize your surgical plan, review your health, answer questions, and have you sign consent forms.
You’ll receive a surgical package containing a green smoothie recipe, protein drinks, probiotics, scar cream, and Hibiclens surgical scrub to support your healing.
Surgery & Follow-Up
Please arrive 2 hours early on surgery day to complete check-in and prep.
After surgery, we’ll prescribe post-op medications and antibiotics to aid your recovery. Dr. Hunsicker will follow up with you the next day to assess your healing and address any concerns. We’ll schedule additional follow-ups at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year to ensure you receive ongoing support throughout recovery.

Pre-Care Instructions
We offer a nutrient-rich green smoothie recipe and protein drinks to prepare your body for surgery. Proper nutrition plays a key role in surgical success and recovery.
Stop smoking at least 6 weeks before surgery. Limit your alcohol consumption. Take sufficient time off from work to recover.
Post-Care Instructions
Arrange transportation for the day of your surgery and your follow-up appointment the next day. The numbing medication provided can last up to 3 days. Contact Dr. Hunsicker immediately if you notice bleeding, nausea, or vomiting.
Avoid lifting, pushing, or pulling objects over 10 lbs for at least 6 weeks, as this can strain your incision. Also, refrain from lifting your arms above your shoulders, sleeping on your stomach or sides, and engaging in physical activity during recovery.
Recovery takes time. Attend all scheduled post-op visits to monitor progress. Expect some bruising and swelling. If we adjusted the placement of your implant, your breasts will gradually settle into their natural position.
Revision breast surgery (often involving implant exchange or removal) can address problems like:
- Capsular contracture: occurs when the scar tissue (capsule) naturally forming around the implant tightens and hardens, causing the breast to feel firm, misshapen, or sometimes painful.
- Implant rupture: occurs when the outer shell of a breast implant breaks or tears, causing the implant’s saline or silicone filling to leak. In saline implants, the body safely absorbs fluid, causing noticeable deflation.
- Visible rippling: when you can see or feel small wrinkles or folds on the surface of a breast implant through the skin. This often happens when the tissue coverage over the implant is thin or if saline implants are used.
Breast implant exchange or removal is similar to the initial breast augmentation. The doctor will make an incision, usually in the exact location, to approach, remove, replace, or reposition your implants. The surgery can be slightly more involved if the implants have been in for several years. Dr. Hunsicker can consult with you on the specific surgical plan based on your circumstances.
You don’t need to see the same surgeon for breast implant removal. Sometimes, it’s not as convenient for patients to return to their original surgeon–particularly if the physician has retired or the patient has moved. At Revalla, we always encourage patients to look for a board-certified surgeon whom they can trust to listen to their goals and expectations.
