Why Choose Breast Surgery Correction?
Patients may seek breast implant revision for various reasons, including:
- Dissatisfaction with size or shape: Some patients may desire a change in the size or shape of their implants to better suit their body frame or aesthetic preference.
- Implant complications: Issues such as rupture, leakage, or capsular contracture (scar tissue forming around the implant) can necessitate revision.
- Cosmetic concerns: Over time, changes in body weight, aging, or pregnancy can affect the appearance of breast implants, leading to a desire for revision.
- Updating implant material: With advancements in implant technology, some patients opt to replace older implants with newer, more natural-feeling options.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Breast implant revision surgery is typically more complex than the initial augmentation due to the presence of scar tissue and changes in the breast tissue. The procedure duration varies depending on the complexity of the corrections being made but generally lasts between one to three hours.
Recovery and Care
Recovery from breast implant revision surgery varies by individual but generally follows the timeline of primary breast augmentation. Patients can expect some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients resume normal activities within two weeks, but full recovery can take several weeks.
Results and Longevity of Breast Implant Revision
Breast implant revision aims to achieve long-lasting results, enhancing both the aesthetic appearance and comfort. The longevity of the results depends on factors such as age, lifestyle, and the type of implants used.
