Do I Need a Breast Revision?

Occasionally, a little rejuvenation is necessary. The process of achieving a desired look is sometimes just that: a process. For women who have had a breast augmentation in the past, breast revision surgery allows for certain modification. One might wonder why revision would be necessary, so let’s have a look at common reasons for this procedure.

Capsular Contracture

A major reason for breast revision is due to possible complications from the first surgery. And capsular contracture is one of those complications. The issue arises when scar tissue squeezes the implant and becomes hard. This does not occur in every patient, and is unpredictable as to why some women experience this and others do not. However, it is fairly common and can be corrected through various techniques.

Breast Implant Rupture

Breast implant rupture is another reason why patients seek revision. This complication is a risk for both saline and silicone implants, but more easily noticed with the saline option as the breast will obviously change shape quickly. Reasons for ruptures can vary, but sometimes result due to a surgical mistake or a patient fall.

Other Reasons for Breast Revision

Women can also turn to this procedure because they are unhappy with their original implants. Reasons for this dissatisfaction may include:

  • Change of implant size preferences
  • Poor implant placement
  • Fluctuations in breast shape and volume due to weight changes

I hope that you and your families have stayed healthy and well during this difficult time. We want to thank all of the essential workers that provided us with critical services during this period and also to all of you that remained at home preventing the further spread of the virus.

As we re-open our facilities our priority remains the safety and well being of our patients and staff. To that end, we have implemented a number of important safety measures at all of our facilities.

  2. Only those individuals that pass the screening will be allowed into the facility.

  4. All patients (and caregivers) need to wear a mask while in the facility. Please bring a cloth or other mask with you to the appointment.
  5. Physical distancing will be in effect in the office waiting room and throughout the office.
  6. Once the physical distance capacity has been reached in the waiting room, patients will be asked to wait in their vehicles and will be called to come in at their appointment time.
  7. All surfaces in the office will be cleaned and disinfected at least on an hourly basis.
  8. All patient rooms will be cleaned and disinfected after each patient use.
  9. Caregivers waiting for patients after surgery will be asked to not wait in the facility.
