Depending on what the problem may be, it is usually best to wait at least 3-6 months prior to a second breast implant plastic surgery. Some revisions should be done sooner, but it is usually best to allow the scar tissue capsule to form. Some types of corrections are easier to make when the capsule is well established. Waiting too long for some corrective revision breast implant surgeries is not good because the breast skin may stretch too much and this will cause nipple areolar drift to a sub optimal position. If a woman just wants to be larger, the plastic surgeon may elect to go to surgery even sooner. It depends on the woman’s concerns and her anatomy and implant desires.
