Our plastic surgeons are renowned for their unique ability to improve and reconstruct the breasts with breast augmentation revision surgery. They use their surgical skills and artistry to achieve these natural results. We care for and achieve exceptional results with an overall enhancement for patients from all over the United States, as well as from around the world. These patients have sought revision breast surgery, as well as other facial and body procedures, both primary and secondary.
Breast surgery never promises perfection; however, when the results appear unnatural or require correction, patients often choose Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas for their breast augmentation revision.
You may consider breast augmentation revision if you have a problem with:
Depending on the specific concerns you have with your breasts, augmentation revision can be customized to:
While it is generally recommended that breast implants be replaced, there are some instances in which implants can be removed without replacement during augmentation revision. Particular examples of this are when a woman is experiencing continual—and often severe—implant-related pain in the breasts that may not be resolved by the placement of new implants, or when a patient desires to restore her natural breast volume. Depending on the size of the implants being removed, an adjunctive procedure such as breast lift surgery might be needed in these situations to correct a deflated and/or sagging appearance created by the lack of implant and stretched tissues.
Following breast augmentation revision, patients will be dressed in a special sports bra designed to help facilitate healing throughout the recovery process. Some degree of bruising, swelling and/or soreness may be experienced initially, though these side effects should diminish over time. A significant amount of pain is quite rare, but any possible discomfort can often be easily managed with medicine. (Discomfort levels may be slightly higher if scar tissue is removed during surgery.)
Most women are comfortable enough to return to normal daily routines—including office-based jobs, school, errands, etc.—after approximately one week. To help avoid potential complications, however, we advise you to avoid any heavy lifting, intense exercise, physical sports, and other strenuous activities for at least one month, at which point all restrictions are usually lifted.
Fortunately, augmentation revision can typically be performed using the same incision lines that were employed for the original breast augmentation procedure. As a result, there is generally no additional scarring that results from revision augmentation. With proper care and close adherence to post-operative instructions throughout the healing process, scars tend to fade over time, becoming fully mature and losing their pink color after approximately one year (sometimes longer).
Our team is highly skilled in resolving each individual’s specific issues while achieving beautiful, natural-looking results. Whether a patient is not happy with the aesthetic outcome of a prior breast augmentation, her cosmetic goals have changed over time, or she is experiencing a complication related to her previous procedure, our surgeons will custom-design an augmentation revision treatment plan that aligns with her current needs and goals for an ideal outcome. In the end, the satisfaction rate for this procedure among patients at our practice is extremely high.
