title: Revising the unsatisfactory breast augmentation.
abstract: Revising an unsatisfactory result after breast augmentation requires a thorough understanding of the cause of the abnormality to develop a rational and effective treatment plan to achieve the best possible result. Often, more than one manipulation is required to correct the deformity. Using the techniques presented here, successful revision can be performed in the vast majority of cases.
