Breast augmentation revision is a surgical procedure designed to modify or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation. It can address various concerns, such as implants not being in the right place, hardening around the implant, or aesthetic dissatisfaction.

Occasionally, patients need mesh added to help support the weight underneath and on the sides of their implants. Dr. Reddy, a skilled plastic surgeon with extensive experience in breast and body aesthetics, understands each patient’s unique needs and strives to achieve the best possible outcome.

Benefits and Expected Outcomes of Breast Augmentation Revision

Dr. Reddy will work closely with you to understand your specific goals for the revision procedure. Common benefits include:

  • Improved aesthetics: Achieve a more balanced, symmetrical, and natural-looking breast appearance.
  • Correction of complications: Address issues like capsular contracture, implant rupture, or asymmetry.
  • Enhanced comfort: Alleviate pain or discomfort caused by the previous implants.
  • Increased confidence: Feel more confident and satisfied with your body image.

What is the Recovery Process like, and What Can I Expect Post-Surgery?

While the initial recovery period is similar to the first breast augmentation, most patients can return to work and normal activities within one to two weeks.

It’s crucial to follow post-operative instructions carefully, including:

  • Wearing a support garment
  • Attending follow-up appointments
  • Avoiding strenuous activities

You can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over time. Throughout your recovery, Dr. Reddy and her team will be there to support you and answer any questions.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation Revision?

If you’re experiencing complications from a previous breast augmentation, you’re unhappy with the results, or you’re due for an implant exchange, you might be a good candidate for revision surgery.

This procedure is also suitable for those who have experienced changes in their breast shape due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging. Dr. Reddy will assess your individual situation and discuss your goals to determine if breast augmentation revision is the right choice for you.
