Why Choose Breast Revision Surgery?
Many women choose breast revision surgery for both aesthetic and medical reasons. Dr. Robey understands that each patient’s situation is unique, and she approaches each case with careful consideration of individual needs and goals.
Implant Replacement & Upgrades
Over time, you may wish to exchange your existing implants for newer models that offer improved aesthetics or enhanced comfort. Advances in implant technology have introduced options with a more natural feel and movement. Additionally, while implants don’t have a strict expiration date, many surgeons recommend evaluation and replacement after 10 years to ensure continued safety and aesthetic satisfaction.
Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture is a condition when the natural scar tissue around a breast implant becomes unusually hard or tight, potentially causing discomfort or distortion of the breast shape. This condition can develop months or years after the initial surgery. Dr. Robey employs advanced surgical techniques to remove the hardened tissue and create a new implant pocket, helping restore a soft, natural feel to the breasts. Dr. Robey also utilizes various techniques that help reduce the risk of capsular contracture.
Managing Implant Complications
While rare, implant rupture or leakage can occur and requires appropriate attention. Dr. Robey will develop a plan for you to remove damaged implants followed by the necessary steps to improve the aesthetic results; this may involve a capsulectomy, implant replacement, breast lift or fat transfer. We prioritize your safety and peace of mind throughout this process.
Optimizing Size and Shape
Your aesthetic goals may change over time, or you might feel your initial breast results could be improved. Whether you’re seeking a size increase, reduction or refined shaping, revision surgery can help achieve the proportions that better align with your current preferences and lifestyle.
Correcting Breast Aysmmetry
Natural breast asymmetry can sometimes become more noticeable after augmentation, or it may develop over time. While true mirror-image symmetry is not a realistic goal, Dr. Robey will implement careful surgical planning and precise techniques to adjust implants, improve positional symmetry and optimize shape to create more balanced, harmonious results.
