About Breast Implant Revision in Jacksonville

at First Coast Plastic Surgery

Initial Consultation

The first and most important step in your breast revision in Jacksonville is a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Csikai at First Coast Plastic Surgery. During this personal meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss in depth why you’re considering breast implant revision—whether it’s due to dissatisfaction with a previous augmentation, implant-related concerns, or simply a desire to change the appearance of your breasts. Dr. Csikai will listen carefully to your concerns, aesthetic goals, and expectations to gain a complete understanding of what you would like to improve or restore.

Based on your individual needs, Dr. Csikai will explain all available options for your breast revision in Jacksonville, including implant removal or replacement, different implant types and sizes, and advanced surgical techniques that can help address asymmetry, rippling, capsular contracture, or changes due to aging. You’ll also be encouraged to ask any questions you may have, so you feel confident and fully informed moving forward.

If you decide to proceed with your breast revision surgery in Jacksonville, you will then meet with our surgical coordinator. At this appointment, all details and decisions made during your consultation with Dr. Csikai will be reviewed and confirmed. You’ll receive a complete breakdown of surgical fees and scheduling options. Additionally, you will be given detailed preoperative instructions, including important guidance about smoking, medications, and supplements to ensure your procedure and recovery go as smoothly as possible.

Incision Locations

Breast revision in Jacksonville is typically very similar to a patient’s original breast augmentation procedure and most often involves the removal and replacement of existing breast implants. The primary goal of breast implant revision is to correct complications, improve appearance, or address changes in personal preferences. Dr. Csikai uses advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best possible outcome tailored to your goals.

During your breast revision surgery in Jacksonville, Dr. Csikai will carefully insert your new implants through a strategically placed incision. In most cases, he will make every effort to use the same incision location as your original breast augmentation in order to minimize additional scarring and support a smooth recovery.

The most common incision site is the inframammary fold—the natural crease beneath the breast where it meets the chest wall. Known as a “fold incision,” this approach allows Dr. Csikai the greatest precision in adjusting implant size and shape, and it accommodates a wide range of implant types and profiles. This location also offers discreet scarring that is easily concealed by most undergarments and swimwear.

In select cases, particularly when combining breast revision in Jacksonville with other breast procedures such as a lift, Dr. Csikai may use a peri-areolar incision. This technique involves making an incision around the outer edge of the areola, where the natural change in skin tone helps camouflage any resulting scar. This incision is often chosen when addressing complications such as implant malposition, asymmetry, or tissue-related concerns.

Dr. Csikai will thoroughly explain your surgical options and recommend the most effective incision type based on your anatomy, goals, and surgical history.

Implant Placement

In many cases, the placement of your implants can be modified during breast revision in Jacksonville at First Coast Plastic Surgery. If you’re seeking a different look, feel, or profile, or if you’re switching implant type, shape, or size, it may be necessary to reposition the new implants differently from their original location. Adjusting implant placement can significantly enhance both the aesthetic outcome and your overall comfort, particularly during physical activities.

There are two primary implant placement options that are typically considered during breast revision in Jacksonville:

Subglandular Placement

In this approach, implants are placed directly behind the breast tissue but above the chest muscle. This method may be ideal for women who already have sufficient natural breast tissue and are looking for a quicker recovery. However, it may result in a less natural look for women with lower body fat or thin skin, and may be more noticeable during movement or over time.

Subpectoral Placement

With this technique, implants are positioned beneath the pectoral chest muscle. Dr. Csikai often recommends submuscular placement during breast implant revision in Jacksonville because it provides a more natural contour, reduces the risk of implant visibility or rippling, and lowers the chance of capsular contracture. This placement is also especially beneficial for patients transitioning to saline implants or for those with limited existing breast tissue.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Csikai will thoroughly evaluate your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and cosmetic goals to determine which implant placement is best suited for your revision procedure. Together, you’ll create a fully customized surgical plan designed to achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results.
