Schedule ConsultationBreast implant revision or replacement is a surgical procedure that exchanges your existing breast implants with new ones. Sometimes the goal is to correct any problems from your earlier breast augmentation surgery or to update the implant material.
Breasts can change shape over time and many women decide to replace or exchange their implants. If you have had significant weight loss or pregnancy since you had your original breast augmentation, you may have experienced a change in your breasts and may need a revision.
A breast lift may be done at the same time as well. If you have rippling of the implant or if the implant is poorly positioned, the surgery may be a bit more involved. Fat grafting to the breast is another way to improve your breast appearance. This involves harvesting fat from areas like your abdomen or thighs in order to inject into the breast tissues overlying the implants. General anesthesia is usually used to keep you comfortable. The length of the procedure depends on what is required to deliver the results you and Dr. Lee have discussed.
Capsular contracture is a hardening and contracting of the scar tissue surrounding the implant. When any kind of implant surgery is done, a capsule of scar tissue will form around the implant as a normal part of the healing process.
That capsule helps to keep the implant in place. However, some patients experience breast pain and misshapen breasts because of the tightening of the scar tissue. Surgical intervention may be needed to correct this problem. Dave Lee, MD, is a skilled and extensively trained Chelmsford plastic surgeon who can assess your situation and your goals and then determine the need for revision and the best course of treatment.
There are many benefits to be had from precisely applied breast implant revision in Chelmsford. If you are dissatisfied with the shape or size of your existing implants, the revision or replacement can solve the issue.
The revision procedure can correct any tightening scar tissue and any discomfort or complications from your previous breast augmentation. The procedure can also correct any wrinkling or folding of the implants. Breast implant revision can also return a more youthful shape to your breasts.
If you have experienced changes in the shape of your breasts after breast augmentation, you may be a good candidate for breast implant revision or replacement.
Wanting to increase or decrease the breast size after augmentation is also a good reason for the procedure. You should be in good health, be a nonsmoker, and have a realistic view of what revision can do for the shape, size, and symmetry of your breasts.
