Breast Revision Surgery
Breast revision surgery is most commonly sought out to correct problems that have arisen from a previous breast augmentation procedure. While there are many reasons for seeking consultation for breast revision, often the reasons fall into one or more of the following categories: implant malposition, asymmetry, implant issues (such as implant rupture, rippling/palpable implants, and capsular contracture), poor scarring, and/or breast pain or, simply, just being unhappy with results of your previous surgery. Fortunately, with proper identification of the problem, combined with expert surgical technique, these problems can usually be corrected during a single, or staged, revision breast surgery.

Since the reasons for breast surgery revision are so varied and individual, the procedure will vary as well. In all cases, we will carefully review the specifics regarding your surgical options for revision and ensure that you understand what your particular procedure will involve.

During your consultation, you will explain your concerns and go over what your goals are for surgery. Since breast revisions are significantly more complicated than the original surgery, a thorough examination and review of your previous operative reports, is required to identify the cause of the problem. If possible, please bring your previous operative report(s) with you to your consultation, as well as other supporting medical record, if applicable. Our dedicated staff will be happy to assist you with obtaining these records.
