There are several reasons why a person may consider revision breast surgery:
Our plastic surgeons review a variety of factors to ensure plastic surgery is a safe choice for you.
During your consultation, Dr. Amalfi will review your health history and listen to you describe your primary concerns. Additionally, your breasts will be carefully examined to assess your personal characteristics and the opportunities for aesthetic and functional improvement. The consultation is an important opportunity to discuss your short and long-term cosmetic goals and ask questions about your treatment options. Dr. Amalfi will explain the procedure, what you can expect during recovery, and the involved risks of revision surgery.
Dr. Amalfi will then create a personalized treatment plan designed around your needs and lifestyle, based on the information gathered at the consultation. Careful implant selection is determined in cooperation with your surgeon to ensure the appropriate size and type is chosen.
Dr. Ashley N. Amalfi is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery of the breast and body. With her experience and innate attention to detail, Dr. Amalfi achieves personalized surgical outcomes that help patients look and feel their best.
No two revision breast surgeries are the same. The specific approach for revision breast surgery depends on the individual’s unique circumstances and desired outcomes. Dr. Amalfi makes incisions in strategic locations, often in the same areas as the original breast augmentation surgery, to access the breast implants. The old implants are removed, and adjustments are made to improve the position of the breast implant. Any scar tissue or implant malposition is addressed, and new implants placed if desired.
Various tools and techniques are used to ensure a natural, consistent result. These may include:
Recovery after revision breast surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure. It is essential to follow the pre- and post-operative instructions given to you prior to surgery, including wearing a supportive bra, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments.
The final results of revision breast surgery may take several weeks or months to fully appreciate as the breasts heal and settle into their new shape. Patients often experience improved symmetry, enhanced breast appearance, and increased self-confidence.
The ideal candidate is someone who:
The first step in deciding if you are a good candidate is to meet with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Amalfi for a private, personal consultation appointment to discuss your specific situation and goals.
Yes, it is safe to breastfeed after revision breast implant surgery and complications or limitations due to the implant are rare.
Patients travel to see Dr. Amalfi for her specific expertise in these cases. She has extensive experience in breast reconstruction revision surgery and uses her specific skills and techniques to help her aesthetic patients achieve their desired results.
Absolutely! It is always advised to have a breast consultation so Dr. Amalfi can take a closer look at your anatomy and understand your goals. Many of her patients have been told there is nothing to be done to improve their results and have found Dr. Amalfi to help achieve their goals.
Many patients simply want their implants removed. Depending on the type of implant, sometimes they can be removed in the office. Other patients may desire a breast lift to improve their outcomes after explantation, and that may be done in the same surgical procedure or at a later date in the operating room.
