Breast Revision Surgery in Orlando

Breast revision surgery can correct or improve the results of a previous breast augmentation. There are several reasons why you might consider breast revision surgery, including achieving your desired look and addressing any issues that might have developed over time.

When you schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons for breast revision surgery in Orlando, we can discuss the reasons you are seeking this type of breast procedure, the surgical process, and what you can expect during your recovery so you can make an informed treatment decision.

Why You Might Consider Breast Revision Surgery

If you live in Orlando, there are several reasons why you might consider a corrective breast procedure. For example, if there were complications during your breast implant surgery, such as the implant rupturing, you may consider breast revision surgery to address the issue. Or, you might be experiencing rippling or implant displacement that requires correction. Capsular contracture, for instance, is a rare occurrence in which the scar tissue that forms around the implant continues to grow, squeezing the implant and causing pain and discomfort.

Aesthetic Reasons

You might choose revision surgery because you want your breasts to be a different size or shape, or you may want to switch from a saline to a silicone implant. Your aesthetic preferences can change over time, and factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can alter the appearance of your breast implants and influence your decision.

If your initial surgery created uneven results or the outcome did not meet your expectations, revision surgery can refine those results.

Health Reasons

Some people also experience discomfort or health concerns related to their implants, called breast implant illness. Breast implant illness is characterized by a collection of symptoms that broadly impact the body. It is not formally recognized as a medical diagnosis, but signs and symptoms are known to include:

• Anxiety
• Hair loss
• Headaches
• Joint and muscle pain
• Memory and concentration problems

During your consultation, we will discuss your reasons for breast revision surgery and determine if this procedure is right for your needs.

Your Breast Revision Options

The type of breast revision surgery will depend on the patient’s goals and concerns. You might want your old implants replaced with new ones or altered to another size, material, or shape. Breast implants typically last 10 to 15 years, so you may want to replace the old implant with the same size at the end of its life span.

Removing the implants without replacement is another option. In this case, you might request a breast lift to help reshape your breast tissue and create a more natural appearance or provide a more youthful shape. The breast implant pocket may also need to be repositioned or adjusted to offer better support to the implants. In the case of capsular contracture, breast revision surgery may remove the scar tissue that formed around the implant.

Our Orlando surgeons can help determine the right type of breast revision surgery for you and develop a personalized treatment plan.

What To Expect During Recovery and Healing

In the first few days after surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising. You will likely be wearing a compression garment to help your breast tissue heal in the correct position and to reduce swelling. While your healing process is individualized and depends on the type of breast revision procedure you had, you can expect to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity in and around Orlando for at least four to six weeks.

Most people can return to light activities or work within the first 10 days, and swelling typically subsides within several weeks. While the incision lines will scar, they fade over time and can be minimized with proper care.
