What is Breast Revision?

Breast revision is a general term that refers to corrective plastic surgery performed to address issues, complications, or dissatisfaction following any type of breast surgery. Whether a patient has undergone a breast lift, reduction, or augmentation, sometimes the original results may change over time, or the outcome might not meet expectations initially. The process varies depending on your specific concerns, such as implant issues or shape adjustments, and is tailored to your needs.

How is it performed?

Breast revision surgery is performed based on the specific issue that needs to be corrected. This involves a thorough assessment of the breast tissue, implant position, and skin quality. For example, if the problem involves implant displacement or asymmetry, Dr. Cocco will work to reposition the implant or adjust the pocket where the implant sits to improve its placement and balance. When scarring or tightening of scar tissue around the implant occurs, she may remove or release this scar tissue to relieve discomfort and improve appearance.

In cases of advanced capsular contracture or implant rupture, implant removal is necessary to address these complications. If the concern is related to changes in breast shape or firmness after a breast lift or breast reduction, the surgery may involve tightening loose skin or reshaping breast tissue. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, with minimal discomfort and a focus on safety.

The incision for breast revision can be made in several locations depending on the situation. It can be through the original incision from the previous breast augmentation, under the breast, or around the areola. The choice of incision depends on the specific issues being addressed. Rest assured, this precise technique aims to restore confidence and harmony, helping you serve others with renewed self-assurance.

Whether you need an implant replacement, repositioning, or a pocket revision, these procedures can help restore your desired look and comfort. We’ll work with you to determine the best approach tailored to your goals.

    Breast Implant Replacement / Exchange

    Breast implant replacement, also known as implant exchange, involves removing your existing implants (whether you have a silicone implant or saline implant) and replacing them with new ones. This revision breast procedure allows you to change the size, shape, or type of your implants to better match your aesthetic goals. Whether you’re experiencing complications like rupture or capsular contracture, or simply want a different look, implant exchange offers a tailored solution.

This breast implant revision targets the pocket where your implant sits, ensuring proper support and alignment. If your breast appearance has changed due to implant displacement, rippling, or capsular contracture, this procedure can restore a natural look and feel. During this procedure, Dr. Cocco carefully adjusts or repairs the pocket to enhance implant stability and symmetry. Implant pocket revision is a precise approach to address issues caused by the initial breast augmentation or aging, helping you regain confidence in your silhouette.

    Breast Implant Repositioning

    Breast implant repositioning is a targeted revision procedure designed to correct implant displacement and achieve a more natural and balanced appearance. If your implants have shifted or settled unevenly, this procedure can realign them for improved symmetry and comfort by addressing issues related to the breast pocket’s support, ensuring the implants sit properly within your breast tissue. It restores natural breast contours, corrects implant displacement or asymmetry, enhances long-term cosmetic results, and improves overall comfort and confidence. Breast revision through implant repositioning is a safe and effective way to refine your cosmetic breast results, helping you look and feel your best.

     

    What to Expect After Setting a Surgery Date

    Details of the surgical process, such as pre/post surgery instructions, informed consent, surgery center requirements and financial obligations will be fully discussed days to weeks before surgery. As a patient, we want you to feel positive about your upcoming surgery, including being comfortable with your surgeon and confident of your decision to move forward.

    Rest assured, the aftercare will be personally directed by Dr. Cocco. There will be a series of postoperative appointments scheduled for the following year and it is important that you follow all instructions for optimal healing. The nose is one of the few areas in the human body that can take months to fully heal. Even though the results will be immediately appreciated, it takes time for all swelling to subside and the process of scaring to fully mature. We are happy to walk you through the process and look forward to seeing the final results as much as you do!

    How Do I Prepare For Surgery?

    Preparation is key for a successful revision recovery. To help you get ready, consider these steps:

    1. Schedule a thorough revision consultation with Dr. Cocco to discuss your goals and review your medical history.
    2. Follow all pre-operative instructions, including any recommended tests or medications.
    3. Arrange for someone to drive you home and assist during your initial recovery period.
    4. Stock up on comfortable clothing and plan for rest to promote healing and reduce stress.

    Proper preparation makes certain your body is ready for the procedure, minimizes risks, and supports ideal results in your breast revision. Trust your surgeon’s guidance for a smooth, safe experience.

     

    What To Expect After Your Breast Revision?

    After your breast revision surgery, you can expect a period of healing that varies depending on the extent of the procedure. During this time, your body will recover from the surgical trauma, and you may experience swelling, tenderness, or discomfort. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully to guarantee proper healing. If your revision involved breast implant revision or implant replacement, you might notice changes in breast size, shape, or feel as scar tissue forms and settles. You may also experience some firmness as the tissue adjusts. While initial swelling and soreness are normal, these symptoms should gradually improve. 

    Recovery After Breast Revision Surgery

    Recovery following breast revision surgery involves a careful, step-by-step process as your body heals. During this time, you’ll notice gradual improvements in comfort and appearance. To optimize your healing, keep these key points in mind:

    1. Rest and limit physical activity for the first few days, allowing your body to recover.
    2. Wear supportive garments as advised, to help reduce swelling and support the healing tissues.
    3. Follow Dr. Cocco’s instructions for wound care and medication to minimize complications.
    4. Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor progress and guarantee your results are on track.

    Recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual healing. Generally, patients can expect a recovery period of about one to two weeks before returning to light activities, with full recovery taking several weeks.

     

    Risks and Considerations

    While breast revision surgery can effectively address issues from previous procedures, it carries certain risks you should consider carefully. Risks include infection, bleeding, or unfavorable scarring, which are rare but possible. You should also be aware that additional surgeries might be required over time. Choosing an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Cocco, helps minimize these risks and guarantees your safety. Understanding potential complications allows you to make informed decisions, aligning your goals with realistic outcomes. Rest assured, with proper planning and care, breast revision can restore both your confidence and the natural appearance you desire.

    Breast Revision FAQs

    (Frequently Asked Questions)

    How long should you wait for a breast revision?

    It is generally recommended to wait 6 to 12 months after your initial surgery before having a breast revision to allow for proper healing and accurate assessment of results.

    How many breast revisions can you have?

    The number of breast revisions varies by individual and depends on factors like tissue health and surgical outcomes, but multiple revisions are possible if medically appropriate.

    What happens if you don't change your breast implants every 10 years?

    Implants do not always need to be changed at exactly 10 years, but over time risks like rupture or capsular contracture increase, so regular monitoring and potential replacement may be necessary to maintain safety and appearance.

    Why might someone need breast implant revision?

    Patients may need breast implant revision due to various reasons such as dissatisfaction with the aesthetic results, complications like capsular contracture, leaks or ruptures of the implants, or simply a desire to change the type of implant or size.

    Can I keep my original breast implants during the revision?

    In some cases, it is possible to keep the original breast implants if they are still in good condition. However, if there are issues such as rupture or capsular contracture, it may be necessary to remove them and replace them with a new implant.

    Will I have visible scars after breast revision surgery?

    Scarring is a possibility after breast revision surgery, but skilled plastic surgeons aim to minimize incisions and strategically place them to make scars less noticeable. Over time, scars may fade significantly, but they will not completely disappear.
