Revision Breast Augmentation in Brandon, Florida

Why Might I Need a Revision Breast Augmentation?

There are several reasons why someone might consider a breast implant revision:

• Implant Complications: Sometimes, breast implants can cause complications like capsular contracture (hardening of the scar tissue around the implant), implant rupture, or implant malposition (shifting out of place).
• Changes in Your Body: Over time, your breasts can change due to aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. These changes may affect the appearance of your implants and require a revision to restore a natural look.
• Change of Preference: Your aesthetic goals may evolve. You might desire a different implant size, shape, or type to achieve a look that better suits your current preferences.
• Unsatisfactory Initial Results: If you're not happy with your original breast augmentation results, a revision can help you achieve the look you've always wanted.

Benefits of Breast Implant Revision

A breast implant revision can offer numerous benefits:

• Improved Aesthetics: Achieve a more natural and balanced breast appearance that complements your body shape.
• Enhanced Comfort: Address any discomfort or complications associated with your current implants.
• Boosted Confidence: Feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.
• Peace of Mind: Resolve any concerns or anxieties you may have about your previous breast augmentation.

The Breast Augmentation Revision Procedure

While the specifics of your breast augmentation revision will be tailored to your unique needs and goals, here's a general idea of what you can expect. The procedure will be performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you're comfortably asleep throughout. Dr. Sessa will typically utilize the same incisions from your previous surgery to minimize additional scarring.

Depending on your desired outcome, your existing implants may be replaced with new implants of different sizes, shapes, or types. If you have any scar tissue buildup (capsular contracture), Dr. Sessa will carefully remove it to restore a natural feel and appearance. In some cases, a breast lift may also be performed with the implant revision to address sagging skin and create a more youthful look.

Recovery After Your Revision

After your breast implant revision, you can expect some downtime for recovery. Here's a general timeline:

• Initial Days: You'll need to rest and limit your activity. We'll provide you with pain medication to manage any discomfort.
• First Few Weeks: You can gradually return to your normal activities but avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.
• Full Recovery: Most patients can resume all activities within 4-6 weeks. The final results of your revision will become more apparent as the swelling subsides.
