VIEW PHOTOSWhat is Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast revision surgery is a procedure designed to correct or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation, lift or reduction. This surgery aims to address complications, dissatisfaction, or changes in the appearance of the breasts that may have occurred over time, or from a previous breast augmentation. Dr. Rolando Morales, a highly regarded plastic surgeon, specializes in breast revision surgery, ensuring patients achieve the desired aesthetic outcomes and regain confidence in their appearance.
Why Would Breast Revision Be Needed?
There are several reasons why a patient might seek breast revision surgery
Implant Issues
Complications with breast implants, such as rupture, deflation, capsular contracture (scar tissue formation around the implant), or implant displacement, may necessitate revision surgery.
Changes in Aesthetic Preferences
Over time, a patient’s aesthetic goals may change. They might desire a different size, shape, or type of implant, or they may wish to remove the implants altogether.
Aging and Body Changes
Natural aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can alter the appearance of the breasts, leading to sagging, asymmetry, or changes in breast volume that revision surgery can address.
Symmetry and Shape Issues
Some patients may experience asymmetry, rippling, or other shape-related concerns that were not adequately addressed in the initial surgery.
Previous Surgical Outcomes
Dissatisfaction with the results of a previous breast surgery, whether due to surgical technique or healing complications, can prompt a patient to seek a revision.
What Does the Procedure Entail?
Breast revision surgery is tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. The procedure involves several key steps:
Consultation & Evaluation
Dr. Morales conducts a thorough consultation to understand the patient’s concerns, evaluate the condition of the breasts and any existing implants, and discuss the desired outcomes. He will review the patient’s medical history and previous surgical details to create a customized surgical plan.
Surgical Plan
Depending on the patient’s needs, the surgical plan may involve implant removal or replacement, correction of implant position, removal of scar tissue, breast lift (mastopexy), or reshaping of the breast tissue.
Anesthesia
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
Incision Placement
Dr. Morales carefully selects the incision placement to minimize scarring and achieve the best possible aesthetic results. The incisions may be made along the previous scar lines or in new locations, depending on the required corrections.
Implant Removal or Replacement
If implants are being removed or replaced, Dr. Morales will carefully remove the existing implants and, if necessary, insert new ones. He may also adjust the implant pocket to improve positioning and symmetry.
Tissue Adjustment
If the patient requires a breast lift or reshaping, Dr. Morales will remove excess skin, tighten the surrounding tissue, and reposition the nipple and areola to create a more youthful and balanced appearance.
Closing the Incisions
The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, and dressings or a surgical bra are applied to support the breasts during the initial healing phase.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from breast revision surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure.
- Patients can expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
- Most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume more strenuous activities after several weeks, following Dr. Morales’s specific post-operative care instructions.
- The results of breast revision surgery are typically long-lasting and can significantly improve the appearance and feel of the breasts.
- Scars from breast revision surgery typically start to fade significantly within 3-6 months, with full maturation and fading taking up to 18-24 months.
- Initially red and raised, scars gradually soften, flatten and blend more with the surrounding skin.
- Following proper post-operative care, including keeping the area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and using recommended treatments, can help improve the healing process.
Breast Augmentation FAQS
Will I Have More Scarring After Breast Revision Surgery?
While there will be some additional scarring, Dr. Morales carefully places incisions to minimize visibility and often uses previous incision sites to reduce new scars.
How Soon Can I Return To Work After Breast Revision Surgery?
Most patients can return to work within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job and the extent of the surgery.
Are The Results of Breast Revision Permanent?
The results are long-lasting, but factors like aging, weight changes, and lifestyle can affect the longevity. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Morales can help maintain the results.
Is This Procedure Covered By Insurance?
Insurance coverage for breast revision surgery varies. It’s best to check with your insurance provider and discuss coverage options during your consultation with Dr. Morales.
