What Is Breast Revision?

Breast revision is a secondary surgery that can help women who are not happy with the results from their initial breast lift or breast augmentation surgery.  Whether problems are apparent soon after the original surgery or have developed over time, breast revision surgery can help your breasts look and feel more natural. 

How Can Breast Revision Help Me?

Breast revision surgery can help with a wide variety of problems, including leaking or deflated implants; rippling, folding or visible edges around implants; poorly positioned implants; shape or contour problems; imbalance between the breasts; and capsular contracture (the development of thick scar tissue around the implants).  Women may also elect to have breast revision surgery to change their implant type or size.

Is Breast Revision Right For Me?

There are many women who, for one reason or another, are not happy with the results of their initial breast surgery.  Perhaps physical changes in your body over the years have allowed the implants to become more visible and palpable.  Perhaps you’ve developed scar tissue, or noticed a change in the shape or position of the implant.  Maybe you were never satisfied with the results of your surgery.  Often, these women are told that they should live with their dissatisfaction, that the results cannot be improved.  In most cases, that’s simply not true.  If you’re not happy with the way your breasts look, whether you had your original surgery last year or 20 years ago, we can help.  Make an appointment today to be evaluated by Dr. Kim.  In most cases, we can provide you with a number of options to help improve the appearance of your breasts. 

What Kind Of Revision Techniques Are Available?

Dr. Kim has experience with the most advanced, state-of-the-art breast revision techniques to help give you the most balanced, proportional and natural-looking breasts.  We can provide a wide variety of options to give you the best results, including replacing the implant, reshaping the implant pocket, suturing the implant into proper position, tightening the skin, and performing a short-scar breast lift to further improve the shape and position of your breasts.   Talk to Dr. Kim today about what approach might give you the best results.

Can A Breast Revision Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Yes.  In addition to correcting issues from your initial breast surgery, you may elect to make additional changes to further enhance your breast or body.  For example, a breast revision may be combined with a breast lift for even better results.  Dr. Kim will discuss with you what approach can help you realize the look you desire.
