Revision Breast Procedures
RESHAPE & REPOSITION
Patient preference and breast shape continue to evolve following surgery. As a result, nearly all patients will be interested in revision surgery at some point in their life to address breast size, shape or simply the age of their implants. It is important to know that you always have options. Beautiful breasts, according to you.
What to Expect
All procedures are done in a balanced and natural esthetic.
Consultation
During the in-depth consultation, we will thoroughly review your goals and expectations. If your surgery was performed by another surgeon, please bring the operative report from any prior operations as well as the information on your current breast implants. This is extremely helpful in planning your successful implant exchange.
If you are electing to undergo implant removal without replacement, we will thoroughly review the anticipated post-operative appearance of the breasts. If indicated, we will discuss any re-shaping procedures that will enhance the aesthetics of the result.
Surgery
Surgery is performed at an accredited surgery center in Newport Beach, California, USA and typically lasts 1-3 hours depending on the degree of shaping required to achieve your desired look. Under the care of a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, general anesthesia (fully asleep) is used to ensure maximal comfort and safety.
Use of the existing incisions is typically sufficient; however, may be modified depending on the extent of reshaping required.
Recovery
Patients are discharged home the same day and generally experience very minimal discomfort, often returning to light work within a week following surgery. Post-operatively, patients are advised to gradually resume their exercise regimen over a 4-week period in order to ensure proper healing. I ask that my patients wear a supportive bra with underwire for 6 weeks following surgery.
Results
The results are intended to be long lasting provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained. Skin gradually loses its innate elasticity as we age, which unavoidably compromises the robustness of the result in time. As such, patients may desire additional revisionary procedures to re-elevate and tighten the breasts.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. As such, additional replacement/revision may be required in the future. It is a good idea to check in with your plastic surgeon at least every 10-12 years. The earlier the replacement is done, the easier the surgery and recovery.
