Overview
Every Revision Has a
Different Story
Breast revision surgery is highly individualized because there are many reasons you may be unhappy with the appearance or feel of your breasts after a previous surgery.
You don't need to know exactly what has changed or what procedure you need. My job is to understand your concerns and determine the best approach for you.
Understanding What Has Changed
- Implant — Size, profile, saline vs. silicone, rupture, or rippling
- Pocket — Implant position, bottoming out, falling to the sides, or asymmetry
- Breast Tissue — Sagging or drooping
- Capsular Contracture — Firmness, pain, or a change in shape
YOUR OPTIONS
Building Your Revision Plan
Your revision is built around what needs to be corrected and what you want to achieve. Often, that means addressing more than one component.
Issues With the Implant
Address rippling, rupture, or changes to size and type
Breasts that feel too big or too small, visible or palpable rippling, or a ruptured or deflated implant may call for a new implant. Together, we'll choose the size, profile, and type — silicone or saline — that best fits your anatomy and preferences.
When implants fall low or to the sides, create wide cleavage lines, lose upper pole fullness, or sit unevenly, the implant pocket can be reshaped and the implant repositioned. An internal bra can provide additional support when needed.
If breast tissue sits low or is sagging, hangs below the implant, or the nipples sit lower than desired, a breast lift or reduction can reshape and reposition the tissue. An internal bra can add support, and fat grafting can restore volume when needed.
When breasts feel hard or firm, cause pain or discomfort, or show changes in shape or asymmetry, treatment may include removing or replacing the implant and performing a capsulectomy to remove the surrounding scar tissue. An internal bra can provide additional support to the implant and breast tissue when needed.
