Breast Implant Revision
Breast implant revisions are done for women who wish to adjust the results of a previous breast surgery. This can be performed for many reasons, and Dr. Davis can provide you with options to help make an informed decision on how to achieve the results you want.
Sometimes, despite a surgeon’s best efforts, the early results from an implant surgery are not ideal and warrant correction. For others, time and life changes such as pregnancy, gravity, weight change, and personal body/breast goals change make women think about doing something about their implants.
Capsular contracture and implant rupture or deflation are also reasons women choose to have revisionary surgery. These surgeries span the spectrum from very straight forward to quite complex and can result in very high patient satisfaction.

During Your Consultation
During your breast implant revision consultation, Dr. Davis will assess the shape, volume, and symmetry of both breasts and take measurements. He will also asses if you have any signs of a capsular contracture or implant malposition. You will have an opportunity to discuss your goals and ideal result. You can also share any specific concerns and have all of your questions answered. If possible, it is very helpful to bring with you any records of prior surgeries and your current breast implant information (size, style, fill volume if saline).

Technique
Depending on what each individual patient needs to get the results that she wants, various different techniques are utilized. During surgery, Dr. Davis makes every effort to use the previous incision sites to reduce additional scarring, but there are times where additional incisions are necessary.
Common parts of implant revisions include changing implant size or switching from saline to silicone, adjusting implant position, removing scar tissue called capsular contracture, or completely removing the implants. It is very common to perform a lift with implant revision surgery. Dr. Davis will tailor the plan to you depending on your starting point and goals.
Recovery
After surgery, you will be placed in a supportive bra and will return to the office the next day for us to check on you. Sometimes drains are needed as part of the healing process to make sure fluid does not collect around the new implant. We will continue to check on you as you recover, and are of course here and available any day if you have any questions or concerns.
Recovery from a breast revision varies depending on what you had done. This will be thoroughly explained to you at both your consultation and pre-operative appointment.
