What is breast revision surgery?

If you're unhappy with your results from a previous breast procedure, breast revision surgery could be the right option to achieve the desired look. Breast revision covers many procedures designed to correct breast and/or implant problems or complications. With an experienced and skilled surgeon like Dr. Andres, you can trust that your breast revision in Scottsdale will provide a solution and deliver the look that you have always been hoping for.

What concerns can breast revision address?

  • Hardened scar tissue: scar tissue (capsular contracture) can cause your breasts to feel hard or look distorted and uneven.
  • Asymmetrical breasts: some breast augmentations leave women with asymmetrical nipples or implants in size and placement.
  • Deflated implants: deflated implants are far less likely with today's advancements, but can still occur, resulting in sagging breasts.
  • Improperly positioned implants: improperly placed implants can happen which could result in the implants being too high, too low, too close together, or too far apart  on the chest.
  • Dissatisfaction with size and/or shape of the breasts or scars: correction of breast or implant size or improvement in breast shape may be improved with revisionary surgery to achieve the desired size/shape that you were desiring. Precision suturing to attain a beautiful, inconspicuous appearance of the scars is always done.

Breast revision recovery

Once you’re out of breast revision surgery, you can return home. Your breasts will be carefully bandaged to promote proper healing and limit chance of infection. You may experience bruising and swelling for the first week or so; this is very common. Typically, patients feel ready to return to work within approximately one week.
