Breast Implant Revision

After primary augmentation, some women experience discomfort, pain or are dissatisfied with the results. Breast implant revision can include removal of the implants (if the patient has had the implants for an extended period, the surgeon may need to remove the capsule – which is the scar tissue – around the implant during this surgery) or the replacement of breast implants (implants don’t last forever and a patient may want to replace the implants due to natural aging or the patient may want to switch from saline to silicone implants and vice versa).

Breast implant revision isn’t always a more challenging procedure than the initial breast augmentation surgery. Some mistakes or natural changes in the breast implants are easy to correct, while others may require the skills of an experienced breast implant revision surgeon.

Some of the benefits of breast implant revision include improving the appearance of the breasts, removing any rippling, correcting malposition as well as relief from any physical discomfort (if the patient was experiencing any physical symptoms).

Preparing for breast augmentation revision

If you have decided to undergo breast augmentation revision, there are a few things you will need to take care of before the breast augmentation revision surgery can take place, such as:

• Choosing a surgeon. Pick a surgeon who has at least five years of experience in breast augmentation revision surgery. During the consultation, the cosmetic surgeon will discuss all the important considerations with you, such as incision placement, type of implant, shape, recovery and so forth. Make sure the doctor understands your expectations and that he or she gives you all the details you need to make an informed decision.
• Get healthy. Besides the obvious health criteria (such as not being overweight, not smoking prior to the surgery and so forth), it is also important that you aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding during the time of your breast augmentation revision surgery.
• Make the necessary arrangements. Remember that you will need a friend or family member to drive you home after the surgery. Also get a friend to stay with you for the first two or three days when you begin your recovery.
