Every woman who undergoes a breast augmentation hopes and expects that her results will be beautiful and long-lasting. Unfortunately, complications or changes in aesthetic preference can affect how your implants look or how you feel about your implants following breast augmentation.
A breast revision is a secondary breast procedure that repairs or adjusts the results of your initial surgery.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF a Breast Revision?
CORRECTION OF IMPLANT COMPLICATIONS
While implants are durable, they are not foolproof. Implant shells can weaken with time and physical stress, resulting in implant ruptures or leaks, displacement, capsular contracture, double bubble deformity, or implant rippling. A breast revision restores implant health by removing the damaged implant and replacing it with a healthy one.
BETTER IMPLANT SIZE
Choosing the specifications for your implants during your initial breast augmentation can be challenging. While many women are pleased with their implant choices, others wish that they had chosen larger or smaller implants. A breast revision allows women to swap out too-small or too-large implants for ones that best match their desires.
NATURAL BREAST AESTHETICS
While some women decide that they want to downsize their implants, others decide that the look of augmented breasts is not for them. A breast revision allows women to part ways with their implants permanently to return to a natural aesthetic, regardless of whether or not they experienced complications with their implants.
INCREASED EMOTIONAL COMFORT
Some women choose to remove their implants over concern of breast implant illness (BII), breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), or another breast-health-related fear. While these conditions are unproven (as is the case of BII) or rare (like BIA-ALCL), some women decide that implants are not worth the hassle.
