Breast Implant Revision Procedure

Have you ever undergone breast implant surgery? If yes, you may be a good
candidate for breast implant revision surgery. This surgery aims to change the shape
of the original implants or to replace them with new ones. Breast implants lose their
firmness and shape over time, and you would not want to walk around with sagging
breasts. That’s why you may need corrective surgery to improve your breasts’
appearance by replacing the implant material.
The revision surgery may involve breast reduction/breast lift or changing the
position of the implant material on your chest. It can also involve decreasing or
increasing the size of the implant material or changing its style.

Where a Breast Implant Revision Surgery Is Applicable

Despite the best execution and technique used during your original breast implant
surgery, some changes are bound to occur along the way. These changes may cause
your breasts to lose the appearance they had immediately after the surgery.
Some of these changes may make you feel uncomfortable. The best solution would
be to visit your plastic surgeon for a breast implant revision surgery to restore your
breasts to their original position and state.
Some changes to your breast implant may result from weight gain, weight loss, or
pregnancy. Some issues that a breast implant revision surgery can address include:

Change in your breast size

The most common reason many women go for breast implant revision surgery is to
either decrease or increase the sizes of their breasts. Most women, after undergoing
breast implant surgery, may feel that they could have looked prettier with smaller or
larger breasts. This makes them go for revision surgery to change the sizes of their
breasts.

When you go for this kind of change, your plastic surgeon will simply replace the
small implant material will a bigger one, if you want a bigger breast, or replace the
big implant material with a small one, if you need smaller breasts. If you know the
size of the original material used, you’ll make the work of the surgeon to be easier.

Deflation of Your Breast implant

Saline implants can leak or rupture, making your breasts deflate and sag. Leakage
isn’t a health concern, but it has esthetic consequences that can leave you with less
attractive or lopsided breasts.
Your plastic surgeon can remove the leaking implant and then fix a new one for you.
You may ask your surgeon to fix a new design or a new type of implant material. The
good news is that most of these implants have lifetime guarantees, meaning you
won’t be charged for the replacement.

Implant malposition

When the pocket holding the implant material is larger than necessary, implant
malposition will occur. In this case, the implant material will shift its position, making
the shape of your breasts to be distorted. This way, your breasts will lose their
attractiveness, and you’ll need a breast implant revision surgery to return the
implant material to its original position.
The surgery will also be necessary to reduce the size of the pocket so the problem
can not occur again. If you delay until the implant material gets damaged, then you
must have a new implant material installed. In most cases, the discomfort caused by
implant malposition may force you to seek help before the implant material gets
damaged.

Changing the Implant Type

There are many types of implant materials that you can choose from. If you feel that
the one you are having no longer suits your taste, you can go for a breast implant
revision surgery. This decision has nothing to do with any medical need or a feeling

of discomfort but is a matter of preference. However, to make such changes, let your
surgeon advise you on the best replacement.

Capsular contracture

When the scar around your implant tightens, the implant may change its position.
This is the condition referred to as capsular contracture. If it happens to you, revision
surgery will be necessary to return things to normal. Capsular contracture can be
caused by an infection in your breasts, bleeding in the breast, especially around
where the implant is, or trauma. It may also result from other factors unknown to
the surgeons.
Depending on the problem you are facing, your surgeon will decide on the best way
to deal with it. If it results from an infection, you may need to get treatment before a
new implant material is inserted for you. The surgeon will have to diagnose your
situation then put you on the treatment.

Improving the Feeling of Your Breasts

When you’ve had an implant for a long time, the feeling of your breast may change
because of the growth of breast tissues. Sometimes you may not notice this, but in
some cases, your breast may feel unpleasant and uncomfortable. If that is the case,
you may need an implant correction surgery.
The surgeon will change the size or shape of the implant material, then put it at an
optimal position to accommodate your breast tissues.

Reshaping and Repositioning in your Chest

Naturally, as you age, your breast will lose its firmness. As this happens, any implant
material that you had may also change in shape. This will change the overall look of
your breasts.
You’ll need revision surgery to reshape both the pocket and the implant material so
your breast can have a new look. This process may necessitate the replacement of
the old implant material with a new one.

Final Words

When you have chosen to have breast implant revision surgery, you need to pick a
qualified surgeon to carry out the procedure. This is because this surgery is not like
other routine or standard procedures. It needs to be designed to meet your specific
desires and goals.
For example, if you need a specific breast size, your surgeon will have to assess your
current breast size and the size of the original implant material before deciding on
the size of the implant material to be used as a replacement. The surgeon must
develop a specific surgical plan to take care of all the issues you have raised.

    Can anyone get cosmetic surgery?

With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
