How soon after breast augmentation can I undergo breast implant revision surgery?
It takes approximately four months for breast implants and surrounding tissue to settle and heal after breast augmentation surgery. Until that time, your breasts may feel and look firmer or larger than you had anticipated. It is important to allow the body to recover from the procedure before evaluating your results. If, after four to six months, you're still unhappy with the appearance of your breast augmentation, then it may be time to consider breast implant revision.
How long does breast implant revision take?
The length of breast implant revision surgery can vary greatly depending on the specific details of the procedure. Typically, the surgery will take anywhere from 30 to 150 minutes to complete.
Will breast implant revision result in any additional scarring?
Your breast implant revision will likely be performed using your original incision pattern. In some cases, an additional incision is needed to perfect the projection and height of the breasts. This additional incision may begin at the areola and run down the center of the breast to the inframammary crease. Your surgeon will do her best to minimize the length and number of incisions made during your procedure, and with proper aftercare, any new scarring will gradually fade over time.
What is “bottoming out,” and can it be corrected during breast revision?
Bottoming out occurs when an implant slips too low on the chest, causing the nipple to appear too high. This can usually be corrected during breast revision by repositioning the implant and reinforcing the internal support structures.
Can I go from saline to silicone implants during my breast revision?
Yes, switching from saline to silicone implants is a common part of revision surgery. Many patients prefer silicone for its natural look and feel, and the change can be made safely during the procedure.
Will my breast revision improve the appearance of scars from my initial breast augmentation?
In many cases, yes. Our surgeons often use existing incisions or advanced techniques to minimize or improve the appearance of old scars during a breast revision.
Are there any risks associated with breast revision?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, implant complications, or asymmetry. At Austin Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we take every precaution to reduce these risks and ensure you feel confident and informed throughout your care.
