What is Breast Revision Surgery

Over time, breast implants can change shape or size, and the overlying breast tissue can also change, creating an appearance or feel to the breast that is less desirable than the original result. Breast revisionary surgery replaces old breast implants with new implants. Often the goal is also to change or improve the appearance of the breasts while updating the implant material, which can include:

  • A concurrent breast lift or reduction
  • Reshaping the breast implant pocket to reposition the implant on the chest
  • Either increasing or decreasing the size, shape, or style of the breast implant

Breast revisionary surgery is not a standard or routine procedure and needs to be tailored specifically to the patient’s goals and desires. Therefore, this surgery should be performed by a plastic surgeon who is well-trained and experienced in all types of breast surgery, such as Dr. Moon and Dr. Scurci. They will listen to the patient’s goals and desires and will develop a surgical plan specifically to address all of the issues at the time of surgery.

What to expect on the day of Breast Revision Surgery

Before breast revisionary surgery, your surgeon may prep you for the procedure by asking you to fast for a certain amount of time or avoid certain medications such as blood thinners. It is important to follow all pre-operative instructions precisely, ensuring a smooth surgery and recovery process. 

On the day of your surgery, before beginning the procedure, your surgeon will walk you through the procedure explaining the techniques being used, as discussed in your consultation. 

The first step will be to administer a type of anesthesia to numb the area and minimize discomfort. 

Next, your surgeon will make the incisions on the breasts. The type of incision used will vary depending upon the type of procedures that will be performed, whenever possible Dr. Moon and Dr. Scurci will utilize existing incisions from previous surgery. The existing implants will be taken out, and new ones put in their place. The surgeon will also make adjustments to the placement, and size of your breasts if this is what you discussed beforehand. 

Once the new implants are in place, the final step is to close the incision using sutures. 

As your surgeon completes the procedure, you will be taken into a recovery room while the anesthesia wears off. 

We advise every breast revisionary surgery patient to arrange for transportation to and from the practice on the day of your appointment. 

 

Breast Revision Surgery Recovery

Following your surgery, gauze dressings or bandages may be applied to your incisions. Depending on the details of your surgery, you may or may not be placed in a support bra or other type of garment. In some cases, a small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect.

Before leaving our practice, your surgeon and medical team will carefully go over all your recovery steps and instructions, so you know what to expect. Some of the instructions may include: 

  • Keeping the wound clean at home
  • Type of medications needed to manage pain
  • Activities to avoid in the immediate aftermath
  • Clothing to avoid while in the healing stage
  • What to expect during wound healing
  • When to schedule your follow-up appointments. 

You can expect to see swelling and some pain in the initial days and weeks of your recovery. Healing will continue for several weeks as swelling decreases, and it can take up to a couple of months to be completely healed.
