Breast Implant Revision with Breast Lift – Denver, CO | Dr. Francesco Campanile

Many patients seek board-certified Denver plastic surgeon Dr. Francesco Campanile for breast implant revision surgery, especially when they experience complications or unsatisfactory results from a previous procedure. With extensive experience in complex breast revision and corrective surgery, Dr. Campanile focuses on restoring natural breast shape, symmetry, and long-term implant support.

This 38-year-old patient (128 lbs) previously underwent a breast augmentation with lift performed by another surgeon approximately 10 years prior to consulting with Dr. Campanile. She became concerned when her right implant began to bottom out, which can occur when the implant pocket stretches and the implant drops too low on the chest. In her case, the issue developed after a significant increase in physical training and muscle development, which weakened the supporting breast tissues about eight months before her consultation. She was also unhappy with the visible rippling of her saline implants and wanted to switch to silicone gel implants for a smoother, more natural appearance.

During her consultation at Campanile Plastic Surgery in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Campanile recommended comprehensive breast implant revision surgery with lift correction. During the procedure, he performed a capsulectomy to address the existing implant capsule, revised the implant pockets, and refined the breast lift scars and nipple position to improve overall breast contour.

Because the patient had weakened breast tissues, Dr. Campanile also used Strattice™ (LifeCell), an acellular dermal matrix commonly used in complex revision cases to reinforce soft tissue support and help stabilize the implant position. Once the pockets were repaired and reinforced, he placed two 400 cc high-profile silicone gel implants to restore fullness and create a more balanced, natural breast shape.

The patient is shown here approximately four months after her breast implant revision surgery in Denver. Her results demonstrate improved implant positioning, smoother breast contours, and enhanced symmetry. She is extremely pleased with the outcome and feels much more confident about the appearance of her breasts.
