What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast revision surgery improves or corrects the results of a prior cosmetic breast procedure. It may address aesthetic concerns, implant-related issues, or post-augmentation physical discomfort. Common goals include restoring balance, improving breast shape, or replacing implants.
Am I a Candidate for Breast Revision Surgery?
You may be a candidate for breast revision surgery if you have discomfort, implant rupture, visible distortion, or concerns with previous results. This procedure may include implant removal and replacement as part of the revision. Ideal candidates are in good health with realistic expectations, determined during a personalized surgical consultation.
Procedure
The most common reasons for needing breast revision surgery are implant rupture, implant change (size or type), capsular contracture, implant malposition, “double bubble” deformity, or a combination of several. When a breast implant is inserted, the body forms a scar around it as part of the natural healing process, called a capsule. The capsule can sometimes (when pathological) squeeze and compress the implant creating a distorted breast shape. The goal of revision surgery is to help restore a more youthful contour and attractive appearance.
Duration
From one to two hours, depending on the problem to be treated.
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia can be combined with intravenous sedation, general anesthesia, and a regional block.
Hospitalization
Done on an outpatient basis or with admission.
Side Effects
At first, there may be swelling or even discoloration. There may also be changes in the nipple or breast tenderness.
Risks
Risks include adverse reactions to anesthesia, accumulation of excess blood (that may have to be surgically drained), and infection.
Recovery
The patient should be able to return to normal activities within seven to ten days, depending on the type of work. Special care should be taken with the breasts (breasts) for at least one month after surgery.
Results
They will depend on the laxity of the patient’s breast or the resulting flaccidity after having children or losing excess weight. They are generally stable and durable. However, gravity and the effects of aging can eventually alter the size and shape of the breasts in almost any woman. Results may vary according to each patient.
