Your Consultation for Breast Revision in Menlo Park

The first step toward achieving your desired breast appearance is a personal consultation at our Menlo Park practice. We offer a welcoming and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your concerns and goals. Our surgeons understand that the prospect of undergoing surgery again can be daunting, especially when it concerns your appearance. That's why we take the time to listen carefully to your needs and address all your questions and concerns. During your consultation, you can expect a thorough discussion of your options, as well as a physical examination to determine the best surgical approach for your specific needs. Whether you're interested in updating your breast implants, addressing capsular contracture, or correcting aesthetic defects, our surgeons are committed to delivering exceptional, customized results that align with your vision.

Reasons for Considering Breast Revision Surgery

There are several reasons why women opt to undergo breast revision surgery.

Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture is a condition that sometimes occurs after breast augmentation when the scar tissue around the implants becomes too tight, leading to discomfort and an altered breast shape. While scar tissue formation is a natural part of the healing process, it can become problematic if it creates excessive pressure on the implants. This condition can be both painful and cosmetically displeasing, as it may cause the breasts to appear distorted. Through breast revision surgery, our surgeons can remove the problematic scar tissue and replace the implants, restoring a more natural and comfortable breast shape.

Aesthetic Changes

Over time, some women may become unhappy with the appearance of their breasts due to cosmetic imperfections that develop after their initial augmentation. These issues can include 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," sitting lower than the natural breast fold. Additionally, some women opt for breast revision surgery to increase or decrease the size of their implants. Breast revision surgery can address these concerns, helping you feel more confident and satisfied with the appearance of your breasts. In other cases, women who were initially pleased with their breast augmentation results may find that the aesthetics of their breasts change over time due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. These changes can lead to asymmetry or sagging, which can be effectively corrected through breast revision surgery, allowing you to regain a more youthful and balanced appearance.

Defects from Breast Surgery or Biopsy

Certain breast surgeries, such as biopsies or lumpectomies, may leave behind indentations or irregularities that affect the natural contour of the breast. While these procedures are often necessary for medical reasons, they can result in permanent changes to the breast's appearance. Breast revision surgery can correct these defects, restoring a more natural and aesthetically pleasing shape. Additionally, if you are dissatisfied with the outcome 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 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 is crucial to have the implants removed promptly. Many women choose to have new 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 with 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.

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 can 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.
