Breast Augmentation Revision

Introduction to Breast Augmentation Revision

Innovations have made breast augmentation procedures increasingly advanced and individualized. However, some women don’t achieve the look they were seeking after their first augmentation procedure. In these cases, breast augmentation revision surgery by a skilled surgeon is the only option for correcting the results of the original procedure. Most commonly, women choose to undergo a revision mammoplasty to improve the natural look and feel of their breasts, change the size of the original implants, or correct a capsular contracture. If you are considering a breast augmentation revision procedure in the New Jersey and New York areas, we encourage you to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a skilled surgeon at one of the East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery offices.

What is Breast Augmentation Revision?

Breast augmentation revision is a plastic surgery procedure to revise a previous breast augmentation surgery. This is a highly popular surgery, as patients often require updates or replacements. Patients can sometimes combine concurrent breast lifts and size alterations with this revision surgery to satisfy their current goals, which might have shifted from previous aesthetic desires.

There are many options available for correcting a previous breast augmentation procedure. Your highly experienced and skilled ECAPS surgeon will recommend the best course of action, taking into account your breast tissue, body shape, and personal goals for your body. The breast augmentation revision surgery will be done following the treatment plan to make sure the procedure will produce the intended results according to the goals and expectations of the patients when agreeing to the surgery. The welfare and safety of the patient will be considered throughout the procedure to ensure their comfort.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation Revision?

Patients who received a Breast Augmentation Revision in the New Jersey and New York areas enjoyed its long-lasting impact and the restoration it provided. Other benefits include:

  • Boost in self-esteem
  • Improved comfort
  • Reduced pressure on the upper back
  • Relief from capsular contraction
  • Relief from implant leakage
  • Restoration of a natural or new implant

Who Are the Best Candidates For Breast Augmentation Revision?

You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation revision surgery in the New Jersey and New York areas if one or more of the following are true:

  • You underwent surgery where your implants were inserted incorrectly. (Often, this includes implants that were placed unnaturally high or low on the chest and did not settle into the correct position. Implants may also have been spaced too widely apart.)
  • You are unhappy with the size of your original breast implants.
  • The location or size of each implant is asymmetrical.
  • One or both of your implants may have defects, including deflation or rupture.
  • Your implants can be seen or felt through the skin.
  • If you are experiencing a capsular contracture, revision surgery can help. In these instances, the body has formed a thick scar around the implant, making it feel firmer and more solid.
  • You are experiencing symmastia – the appearance of the breasts being connected in the midline.

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting a Breast Augmentation Revision in the New Jersey and New York areas is to schedule a consultation with one of our expert surgeons at ECAPS. During your one-on-one consultation with a surgeon at one of our ECAPS offices, you will review the aforementioned considerations to ensure your surgery is successful. An open and honest discussion of your desired breast size and expected outcome will determine whether your desires can be realistically achieved. We will address your concerns about the results of your primary breast augmentation and answer any questions you may have regarding the procedure. You should be prepared to discuss your full medical history during your consultation, including any medical conditions, previous surgeries or treatments, drug allergies, current medications, and use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances.

If you and your surgeon agree to proceed with the procedure, they will design your surgical plan. You can then take this to one of our patient coordinators to schedule your treatment, learn more about pricing options, and receive any pre-operative instructions.

Breast Augmentation Procedure Considerations

The following factors are also important to consider before undergoing breast augmentation revision surgery:

  • Breast Cancer: While there doesn’t appear to be any link between breast augmentation and cancer, breast implants can affect your ability to undergo a mammogram. This may be a special consideration for women who have a higher risk of breast cancer.
  • Weight Loss: Any extreme weight loss can affect the results of your revision. It is recommended that you aim to achieve your ideal weight before undergoing any plastic surgery.
  • Pregnancy: Breast implants do not affect pregnancy or breastfeeding, but pregnancy can cause unpredictable breast changes that may affect the long-term results of your surgery.

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery

On the day of your Breast Augmentation Revision surgery in the New Jersey and New York areas, you will be received by your surgeon and their staff at the ECAPS facility. They will settle you in the procedure room and review your surgery to ensure you are fully comfortable. Finally, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia for your comfort during the procedure.

Breast augmentation revision surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general or local anesthesia with sedation. Incisions will be made according to the treatment plan after the anesthesia takes full effect. Usually, the incisions created are the same ones that were used for the primary breast augmentation procedure. The procedure may involve breast implant replacement or repositioning. It could also involve altering one or both breasts to achieve symmetry. The areolae might be repositioned during the surgery. After doing the necessary corrections, the incisions will be closed and bandaged to complete the breast augmentation revision surgery.

Breast Augmentation Revision Recovery

You should be permitted to go home within one day, and you will be walking immediately following surgery. Your breasts will likely be wrapped in gauze dressings or a surgical bra to ensure a successful recovery. These gauze dressings will be removed within several days, and you may be required to wear a supportive garment after that. Any swelling and discoloration that may occur will improve within 3-4 weeks. It is essential to remember that not all recovery processes are the same, and your experience may vary depending on your specific circumstances. Following your procedure, you will be sent home with detailed care instructions to ensure a successful recovery process.

Your East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery surgeon will be there to support you through every step of the process, from initial consultation to recovery. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to evaluate the progress of your recovery. The results will also be evaluated according to the original goals.
