Achieve Your Ideal Look with Expert Breast Revision Surgery in Marin County

At Aesthetx in Marin County, our surgeons understand how important breast shape and size are to a woman's sense of self and confidence. If you are unsatisfied with the results of a previous breast surgery, our skilled plastic surgeons offer fully customized breast revision options to help you feel comfortable with your body once again. With a comprehensive approach that focuses on restoring symmetry and enhancing beauty, our team has helped countless women achieve their desired results.

Breast revision surgery is often considered by women who have experienced less-than-optimal outcomes following a breast augmentation or other breast procedures. Whether you are dealing with aesthetic irregularities after a biopsy, capsular contracture, or simply want to adjust the size or shape of your implants, breast revision surgery can help you achieve the look that aligns with your cosmetic preferences.

Reasons for Considering Breast Revision Surgery

There are several potential reasons why you may consider breast revision surgery in Marin County with our team.

Aesthetic Changes

Over time, some women may become dissatisfied with the appearance of their breasts due to cosmetic imperfections that arise after their initial augmentation. These can include issues like rippling, dimpling, or the shifting of implants from their original position. You might notice that your implants have moved too close to the sternum (synmastia), toward the underarms (lateral displacement), or have "bottomed out" and are now sitting lower than the natural breast fold. Additionally, some women seek breast revision surgery to increase or decrease the size of their original implants. Breast revision surgery can address these concerns, helping you feel more confident and comfortable with the appearance of your breasts.

In other cases, women who were initially pleased with their breast augmentation results may find that the appearance of their breasts changes over time due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. These changes can lead to asymmetry or sagging, which can be effectively addressed through breast revision surgery, allowing you to regain a more youthful and balanced appearance.

Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture is a condition that can occur after breast augmentation when the scar tissue surrounding the implants becomes too tight, leading to discomfort and distortion of the breast shape. While scar tissue formation is a natural response to surgery, it can become problematic when it exerts excessive pressure on the implants. This condition can be both painful and cosmetically undesirable, as it may alter the intended appearance of your breasts. Through breast revision surgery, our surgeons can remove the problematic scar tissue and replace the implants, restoring a more natural and comfortable breast shape.

Defects from Breast Surgery or Biopsy

In some cases, previous breast surgeries, such as biopsies or lumpectomies, may leave behind indentations or irregularities that affect the breast's natural contour. While these procedures are often necessary for health reasons, they can result in permanent changes to the breast's appearance. Breast revision surgery can correct these defects, helping to restore a more natural and aesthetically pleasing shape. Additionally, if you are unhappy with the results of a previous breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, our surgeons can provide additional procedures to enhance the overall appearance of your breasts.

Implant Rupture

Although rare, implant rupture is a potential complication that can occur after breast augmentation. This happens when the outer shell of the implant is damaged, which can occur due to physical trauma, compression, or simply the aging of the implant. If you have saline implants, a rupture will typically cause the implant to deflate rapidly, and the saline solution will be safely absorbed by the body. Ruptures in silicone gel implants, however, may not be immediately noticeable. For this reason, regular MRI screenings are recommended to detect any potential issues. If a rupture is detected, it's important to have the implants removed as soon as possible. Many women choose to have a new set of implants placed during the same surgery to maintain their desired breast aesthetic.

How Breast Revision Surgery Is Performed

The specifics of your breast revision surgery will depend on the reason for the revision and your desired outcome. Here are some common approaches:

  • Capsular Contracture: For patients experiencing capsular contracture, the scar tissue surrounding the implants will be carefully removed, and new implants can be placed to restore a more natural and symmetrical appearance.
  • Aesthetic Changes: If you're seeking to improve the aesthetics of your original breast augmentation, your implants will be removed and replaced with new ones that better suit your current cosmetic preferences and anatomy. A breast lift may also be recommended to address any sagging that has developed.
  • Defects After Breast Surgery or Biopsy: To correct irregularities resulting from previous breast surgery or a biopsy, our surgeons may use breast implants or fat transfer. Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from another part of your body and injecting it into the breasts to achieve natural-looking contours
  • Implant Rupture: If your implants have ruptured, surgery will be required to remove them. Many patients opt to have new implants placed during the same procedure to maintain their desired breast shape and size.

Recovery After Breast Revision Surgery

The recovery process following breast revision surgery will vary depending on the specific procedures performed. In general, recovery is similar to that of a standard breast augmentation. You may experience some pain or tightness in your breasts during the first week, but most patients are able to return to their regular activities within one to two weeks. However, it's important to avoid strenuous physical activity and exercise for approximately four to six weeks to ensure proper healing.
