Breast implant revision is a secondary breast plastic surgery performed if you are unhappy with the initial surgery or if you want to improve the initial results. Also, breast implant revision is done in case of some complications like implant rupture or capsular contracture. Aesthetic reasons for breast implant revision include recontouring, implant replacement, or implant repositioning.
Dr. Dragana Spica performs breast implant revision with great precision and skill. After your consultation with this renowned plastic surgeon, you can achieve the desired aesthetic results from the breast implant revision procedure.
There are different reasons why you may opt for breast implant revision. You can remove or replace the implants to increase or decrease the size of your breasts, change the shape of your breasts, or get new implants after you had the old ones for more than 10 years.
Other reasons for breast implant revision include:
If you are unhappy with the results of your initial breast augmentation with implant surgery, you may be a good candidate for a breast revision procedure. Also, if you are experiencing pain or your beasts appear significantly asymmetrical, breast implant revision might be a good solution for you. Asymmetrical breasts may appear after implant rupture or weight fluctuation and may look unattractive and unnatural.
To be a good candidate for breast implant revision surgery you need to be generally fit and healthy and have realistic expectations.
Before your breast implant revision surgery, you are first consulted with Dr. Dragana Spica. She discusses your concerns, symptoms, and aesthetic goals. She also asks you about your medical history, current medications, and previous surgeries. She examines your initial breast surgery results and recommends breast implant revision options. Finally, she creates a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and brings you the desired aesthetic goals.
On the day of your breast implant revision, you are prepped for the surgery and given general anesthesia.
Dr. Dragana performs the procedure to improve your breasts' appearance according to your treatment plan. She may perform breast implant revision to eliminate excess scar tissue or replace your breast implants. She may replace saline with silicone gel implants because you desire a more natural feel or appearance of your breasts.
The goal of breast implant revision is to bring you a natural-looking breast shape that resolves your cosmetic or medical concerns from your initial breast surgery.
After the surgery, you can go home the same day unless Dr. Dragana advises you to stay overnight.
Before leaving the surgical facility, arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
Generally, Dr. Dragana Spica recommends waiting for 6 to 12 months after your initial breast surgery before you consider breast implant revision. During this time your body fully heals and you can see the final results of your initial surgery. If you are experiencing severe complications after your initial breast implant surgery, like implant rupture or capsular contracture, Dr. Dragana may recommend undergoing breast implant revision sooner.
Breast implant revision surgery can be more complicated than your initial breast surgery because of the need to correct the issues and maintain or improve aesthetic appeal. Concerns like skin laxity, scar tissue, or changes in breast tissue require careful consideration. Dr. Dragana Spica is an expert in breast implant revision and ensures that even complicated cases are resolved with precision and attention.
After breast implant revision surgery you may experience swelling, bruising, and soreness which should resolve after a couple of weeks.
The time you will need to recover depends on the complications and technique used in your initial breast surgery.
During your healing period, you should wear a compression garment and take time off work to rest. You can return to work after about a week if your work isn’t very strenuous. You should listen to your body and return to your normal daily routine when you feel completely ready. Generally, the recovery period lasts between 4 to 6 weeks.
Regarding scars, Dr. Dragana Spica takes great care to minimize any additional scars during your breast implant revision. She can even use the existing scars from your initial surgery to avoid creating new scars.
To achieve the best results from your breast implant revision surgery you should follow Dr. Dragana Spica’s recommendations carefully. Also, you should maintain healthy lifestyle habits to maintain the results.
