There are many reasons why you might choose to have breast implant revision surgery. You may not be happy with the way your breasts look after your original surgery. Or, you may have developed a complication, such as capsular contracture or rippling.
Breast implant revision surgery is usually more complex than your original breast augmentation surgery. This means that it will take longer to recover from and there is a greater risk of complications. Nevertheless, many women feel that the results of revision surgery are worth the extra effort.
Goal of Breast Implant Revision
The goal of breast implant revision surgery is to improve the appearance of the breasts by correcting any problems with the implants, such as size, shape, symmetry, and position.
Additionally, revision surgery may be performed to address any medical issues that have arisen due to the presence of the implants.
Some of the most common reasons for undergoing breast implant revision surgery include:
- To change the size or type of implants
- To correct implant malposition
- To treat capsular contracture
- To treat a ruptured implant
- To remove or replace an old implant
Breast revision surgery can be a complex procedure, and it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing this type of surgery
