When to Consider Breast Revision Surgery
Breast augmentation continues to be one of America’s most sought-after cosmetic surgery procedures. Its popularity has rapidly increased the number of surgeons specializing in implant placement and choosing the most advanced technologies for optimal patient safety. Yet, even with all these advances, many women still desire breast revision surgery. Why could this be?
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Bresnick takes pride in his ability to boost women’s confidence by making them feel more feminine. But if your breast implants aren’t making you happy anymore, it might be time for a do-over to achieve the result the original surgery did not provide.
First Things First
Before thinking about breast revision, make sure you are healthy enough for surgery. It is essential to take a full account of your mental well-being and any extraordinary stressors that may impair judgment. Typically, it is best to avoid cosmetic surgery during significant life changes or at times of financial difficulty. In other words, make sure you choose breast revision surgery after careful consideration and assessment of your needs.
Size Matters
If you originally wanted a breast enhancement because you weren’t happy with what Mother Nature gave you, and your initial surgery fell somewhat short of your expectations, you deserve to get the size, shape, and projection you’ve always wanted. Sometimes, unsatisfactory surgical results happen because not all plastic surgeons take time to learn all about their patients’ cosmetic concerns. After carefully evaluating your anatomy and asking questions about your goals, Dr. Bresnick will show you visual size options to let you select the optimal implant before surgery.
So Much Can Change in 10 Years
Many women who seek breast revision surgery do so an average of 10 years after their initial procedure. Think about how many priorities in your life might change after living with your breast implants for a decade. Maybe you’ve realized that larger breasts are no longer your aesthetic ideal because they prevent you from wearing specific clothing styles or get in the way when you’re exercising. Or, perhaps your skin has lost elasticity with age, allowing your implants to shift downward and causing sagging.
Successful revision requires a surgeon with proper training, an artistic eye, and the technical skill necessary to deliver aesthetic results.
Complications May Be a Problem
When done correctly, breast augmentation is one of the safest medical procedures. Still, any surgery can involve complications. Factors like implant rupture, capsular contracture, and rippling can cause issues that require surgical intervention.
