What Are Some Common Reasons for Breast Revision Surgery?
There are several reasons a woman may seek revision surgery after a previous breast augmentation:
- Implant displacement: Implants positioned too high or too low can be corrected by adjusting the implant pocket to achieve a more balanced, proportional result.
- Capsular contracture: When scar tissue hardens around an implant, causing discomfort or distortion, Dr. Najera can remove the affected tissue to restore a softer, more natural feel.
- Implant rupture: Whether gradual or sudden, a ruptured implant can be safely removed and replaced through implant exchange.
- Size or shape dissatisfaction: Because implants are measured in cubic centimeters rather than cup size, some patients find their results don’t match their vision. Dr. Najera works with you to select a replacement that better aligns with your goals.
- Rippling, poor scarring, or excess skin: These aesthetic concerns can also be addressed through revision surgery.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Revision Surgery?
Revision surgery can resolve both functional and aesthetic concerns — from physical discomfort caused by capsular contracture to dissatisfaction with size, shape, or symmetry. For many women, it’s an opportunity to finally achieve the outcome they originally envisioned, or to update results that no longer reflect who they are today.
Am I a Candidate for Breast Revision Surgery?
Good candidates are women in overall good health who are experiencing complications from a previous breast augmentation or are unhappy with their current results for any reason. During your consultation, Dr. Najera takes the time to thoroughly understand your concerns, review your history, and recommend the most appropriate course of action, whether that involves implant exchange, pocket adjustment, scar tissue removal, or another approach entirely.
