In addition to offering breast augmentation and reduction, our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in breast augmentation revision for those patients who underwent unsatisfactory breast surgery at another facility. Some reasons that patients pursue breast revision surgery at La Peer include:
- Implant hardening
- Implant displacement
- Breast asymmetry
An outpatient surgery center in the heart of Beverly Hills, La Peer offers the most advanced treatments and equipment in order to facilitate the best surgical experience and get you the results you originally desired from breast augmentation. If you are unsatisfied with the results of a previous procedure, don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation.
REASONS TO CONSIDER BREAST REVISION SURGERY
More specifically, patients may opt to undergo repeat or revision breast surgery for the following reasons:
- General dissatisfaction with the appearance of the breasts after implantation
- Implants that are not the desired size
- The desire to switch from saline breast implants to silicone breast implants
- A rippling appearance to the implant
- Capsular contracture, which is an uncomfortable, “hardened” feeling in the breast caused by scar tissue forming around the implant
- Unnatural positioning of the implant
- Implant deflation or leakage
- Asymmetry of the breasts not corrected in the original procedure
Although most breast augmentation procedures are extremely successful, patients who are dissatisfied with the results of their procedure should know that options exist. During your visit to La Peer, your surgeon will create a procedure plan specifically designed to revise the results from an earlier surgery and provide you with a beautiful, natural-looking outcome that is more in line with your original goals.
THE PROCEDURE
The procedure for breast augmentation revision will vary depending upon what needs to be revised or improved. There are several steps that can be taken to correct an undesired result including a re-creation or modification of the implant pocket and removal of scar tissue. Revision breast surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
RECOVERY TIME
Depending on the type and extent of revision breast surgery you require, recovery times may vary. Patients who undergo implant removal can expect some degree of post-operative swelling and bruising. Since our plastic surgeons use minimally invasive procedures, they are able to reduce the amount of bruising and swelling seen in a typical patient. As was the case with your initial augmentation procedure, you will need to refrain from strenuous activity, wear a surgical bra for extra support and follow the after-care instructions your doctor provides in the wake of surgery.
