Correct, Resize, or Replace: Elite Breast Implant Revision in Turkey.

Breast implants are durable, but they aren't meant to last a lifetime. Whether you are dealing with a painful capsular contracture, a ruptured saline implant, extreme bottoming-out, or simply desire a completely different cup size ten years later, Dollhouz specializes in complex breast revision surgeries. Our board-certified revision experts in Istanbul will safely remove your old devices, repair the internal breast pocket, and insert state-of-the-art FDA-approved gummy bear implants—restoring flawless symmetry from $4,000.

Starting from $4,000 — Breast Implant Replacement (often called Breast Revision Surgery) is a highly specialized procedure requested by patients who have previously undergone breast augmentation but require an update or medical correction. Unlike a primary augmentation which works with "virgin" tissue, revision surgery requires an elite surgeon capable of navigating existing scar tissue, repairing damaged muscle pockets, and safely extracting older ruptured silicone or saline devices.

Why Do Patients Request Implant Replacements?

Most FDA-approved silicone implants are guaranteed for 10 to 15 years, but they are not lifetime devices. Patients travel to Dollhouz for replacement requests falling into two main categories: Aesthetic Upgrades and Medical Corrections.

Aesthetic Upgrades (Elective)

  • Size Changes ("Going Bigger" or "Going Smaller"): What you wanted in your 20s may not fit your lifestyle in your 40s. Many patients visit us simply to downsize a disproportionately large D-cup to a sporty B-cup, or conversely, to scale up their volume.
  • Pregnancy & Weight Fluctuations: Massive weight shifts and breastfeeding can aggressively stretch the skin envelope over your existing implants. We routinely perform an Implant Replacement combined with a Breast Lift to restore a tight, youthful profile.
  • Wanting Modern Technology: If you received older, fluid-filled saline implants decades ago, we upgrade patients to modern, highly cohesive Motiva® or Mentor® structured silicone gel implants that look and feel entirely indistinguishable from natural tissue.

Medical Corrections (Complications)

  • Capsular Contracture: The most common complication. Your immune system creates a wall of dense, hard scar tissue around the implant. In severe cases, this tissue squeezes the implant so hard it permanently distorts the breast shape and causes intense physical pain.
  • Implant Rupture / Deflation: A sudden loss of volume in one breast caused by a tear in the implant shell.
  • Bottoming Out (Double Bubble): When the surgical pocket fails, allowing the heavy implant to slide down dangerously far below the natural breast crease.
  • Symmastia ("Uniboob"): A catastrophic surgical failure where the inner pockets connect over the sternum, causing the two implants to merge in the center of the chest.

The Surgical Technique: Executing a Flawless Revision

You cannot trust a complex revision to an inexperienced surgeon. Repairing botched pockets requires elite architectural reconstructive skills.

Step 1: Safe Extraction (En Bloc Capsulectomy)

If you are suffering from severe capsular contracture or a ruptured silicone leak, our surgeons utilize the highly advanced En Bloc technique. We surgically remove the implant while it is still completely encased inside the hardened scar tissue capsule. This ensures that no leaked silicone or inflamed tissue escapes into your healthy breast cavity.

Step 2: Pocket Reconstruction

If your implants bottomed out or shifted into your armpits over the years, the surgeon must execute internal suturing to rebuild and fortify the internal pocket wall, ensuring the new implants sit high and perfectly centered.

Step 3: Site Change & Elevation

If your original implants were placed over the muscle (subglandular) causing visible rippling, the surgeon may create a brand new pocket under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) to provide thicker padding and a much more natural slope.

Cost Comparison: The Extreme Burden of North American Revisions

In the United States and Canada, revision surgery is punitively expensive. Because of the surgical complexity, surgeons routinely charge double their typical augmentation rate. A severe revision in Beverly Hills or New York can easily surpass $15,000 to $20,000.

At Dollhouz, complex Breast Implant Replacement packages start from just $4,000 — covering surgical extraction, capsulectomy, brand new premium FDA-approved implants, JCI-accredited hospital stay, luxury hotel recovery, all private VIP airport transfers, and 24/7 nursing care.

Recovery Timeline: Healing From a Revision

  • Days 1 to 3: If capsular scar tissue was rigorously removed or the muscle was significantly repaired, you will experience deep soreness in your chest wall. Surgical drains are frequently required to prevent fluid buildup. You will heal comfortably in your 5-star hotel.
  • End of Week 1: Your drains are removed. The intense tightness fades. We perform a final check on your incisions and clear you to fly home to North America.
  • Weeks 2 to 4: You can return to your desk job. You must strictly avoid any heavy pushing, pulling, or lifting to protect the newly sutured internal pockets.
  • Weeks 6 to 8: You are cleared to resume normal cardio and lower-body weight lifting. The new implants begin their "drop and fluff" stage, settling nicely into the lower curve of the breast.

The Revision Specialist: Solving Capsular Contracture & Rupture

If you are suffering from hardening (Capsular Contracture) or a suspected rupture, you need more than a generic surgeon—you need a Revision Specialist. We specialize in the En Bloc Capsulectomy, where we remove both the implant and the surrounding thickened scar tissue in one single, clean piece. We don't just replace the problem; we rebuild the foundation of your chest to give you the soft, comfortable results you originally wanted.

Are You a Good Candidate?

You are the ideal candidate for a Breast Implant Revision at Dollhouz if:

  • You currently have implants, but one or both are visibly misaligned, painfully hard, or ruptured.
  • You have experienced massive sagging over your implants due to significant weight-loss or pregnancy, requiring a lift.
  • Your original implants are 10–15+ years old and you proactively want to upgrade to safer, modern cohesive silicone gel.
  • You are a non-smoker (nicotine massively restricts oxygen to the healing tissues).

Preparing for your medical journey

Smoking slows healing and raises your risk of complications. For safer, smoother recovery, quit at least 4–6 weeks before surgery and stay smoke-free throughout your healing journey. Need help preparing? Talk to a coordinator.

Pause Contraceptive Pills

To lower your risk of blood clots, all birth control pills should be stopped at least 4 weeks before surgery. This helps support healthy circulation and a safer surgical outcome.

Limit Alcohol Intake

Alcohol can disrupt anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow healing. For a smoother procedure and recovery, avoid alcohol 1–2 weeks before surgery and stay alcohol-free during recovery.

Pause Blood Thinners & Supplements

To reduce bleeding risks, stop blood thinners, herbal teas, and certain supplements 1–2 weeks before surgery. Always check with your surgeon before making any medication changes.

Procedures are payable in cash upon arrival. For bank transfers, send payment at least 7 days before your trip. Credit card payments include a processing fee and must be completed prior to your arrival in Turkey.
