Reasons for Breast Revision Surgery

At Elite Plastic Surgery, our highly skilled team of breast surgeons performs revision treatment for a number of different reasons. We understand that every patient is a unique individual, so each procedure is directly tailored to the cosmetic issues that the patient wishes to address.

Breast Size

Some women realize that they did not attain their desired breast size and wind up feeling that their breasts are either too small or too large after breast augmentation surgery. Many of these patients will live with their implants for a while before deciding that they need a second surgery to address their dissatisfaction. Breast revision can help you by creating a bustline that is more proportionate with the rest of your body.

Breast Implant Removal

Many women choose to have breast implants for aesthetic purposes, only to find that their tastes have changed with the passage of time. If you have decided that you would like to remove your implants and return your breasts to their natural size and position, our team is here to help. Breast implant removal will help you by eliminating the presence of implants while still maintaining a natural and alluring appearance.

Implant Rupture

Although there have been significant advances in the manufacture of strong, durable breast implants, cases of implant rupture are still evident. Saline-filled implants lead to noticeable breast deflation when they rupture. When it comes to silicone implants, the gel will stay intact and the rupture tends to be less noticeable. Often, an MRI is required to detect the defect. Our expert breast surgeons can perform revision surgery to replace ruptured implants.

Double Bubble

The “double bubble” condition refers to a situation where the implant has migrated and moved out of place, causing a visible crease and double breast look. This may occur due to improperly placed implants or the formation of large scar tissue around the implants. Revision surgery is the typical solution to address this condition, and our surgeons will work with you to ensure that your bust is properly restored.

Scarring

All implants develop scar tissue that forms around breast implants after they have settled in the surgical pocket. Usually, this scar tissue will not cause any problems or harm to the patient. In some cases, though, scar tissue may tighten around the implant and cause displacement. This leads to a hardened breast that is aesthetically unappealing, in addition to physical discomfort. A capsulectomy—revision surgery in which scar tissue is removed—is required to address this concern.

Breast Rippling

In some cases, noticeable rippling may be seen underneath the breast or on the side of the breast following a breast augmentation procedure. This is typically most common with patients who are very thin and have low tissue volume. While not quite a complication, this unnatural wrinkling can trigger discomfort and cause an unsightly appearance, which is most typically seen with saline-filled implants. Breast revision enables you to change the type or size of your implant for more ideal results.

During Breast Revision Surgery in Phoenix

Breast revision surgery typically takes between one and six hours to complete, depending on the details of your personalized surgical plan. The treatment will be carried out while you are placed under general anesthesia so you will remain comfortable throughout the operation. Since this is an outpatient procedure, you’ll be able to return home as soon as the procedure is over. Although it may take up to a few months for the results of the revision to be fully noticeable, patients are usually able to resume their daily routines after a week.

When performing breast revision surgery, our experienced plastic surgeons always take care to utilize the incision lines that were placed during the original procedure. This eliminates the presence of additional scarring once the recovery process is complete.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Revision?

During your initial consultation, one of our expert breast surgeons will walk you through the entire process and work with you to explore the details of your breast revision journey. He will be able to learn about your reasons for considering this procedure and can help you learn about the various methods by which we can create your ideal results.

Breast revision is ideal for women who are interested in the following:

Correcting breast asymmetry
Enlarging their implants
Decreasing the size of their implants
Addressing problems that have developed with their implants
Resolving issues with the surrounding breast tissue
Improving the results of a previous surgery
Resolving poor implant placement or other aesthetic problems

Your Rest, Recovery, and Results

After your breast revision surgery and a brief observation period, you’ll be sent home, where you can start your recovery journey in comfort. The duration of the recovery period after breast revision tends to vary from one patient to another and is usually dictated by the extent of the surgical plan. Revision procedures that require grafting or complex reconstruction usually involve longer recovery durations that can last for up to eight weeks.

Bruising and swelling are common right after the revision procedure but will dissipate with time, and you’ll begin to get an impression of your results. The average recovery period following breast revision is one to four weeks, and you can likely expect to return to work and other light activities after one to two weeks. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities for three weeks, and we’ll be sure to schedule a follow-up visit after 10 to 12 days.
