Frequently Asked Questions About Revision Breast Surgery
It's essential for patients to maintain realistic expectations. While revision surgery can improve previous results or rectify complications, it may not always achieve the "perfect" outcome. The human body has its limitations, and factors like age, genetics, and skin elasticity can impact results.
Why do some people need revision breast surgery?
Reasons can range from medical complications like capsular contracture, implant rupture, or leakage to personal preferences like wanting a different size or type of implant.
Is the recovery process the same as the first surgery?
Recovery can be similar, but it often depends on the extent of the revision. Some patients find revision surgery recovery easier, while others may find it more intensive.
Can I combine revision breast surgery with other procedures?
Many patients choose to have additional procedures done with their revision surgery. The most popular choices are breast lift, liposuction, and tummy tuck. Combining surgeries offers a comprehensive approach to body contouring.
