BREAST AUGMENTATION REVISION

The Top Benefits Of Breast Augmentation Revision

Breast augmentation revision is a service Dr. Wells offers for those who have problems with their previous breast augmentations. These problems could include leaking implants, asymmetry, capsule contracture, changing size, and implant exchange. Dr. Wells is known throughout Lexington, Louisville and the plastic surgery community for his work with breast surgery and is a leading specialist in this area.

There are many reasons women seek out breast augmentation revision. One of the more common reasons is simply dissatisfaction with the original size. Some doctors fail to work with the client to give them the proper information to make an informed choice when it comes to the size they desire. Women may choose to go too large, based on pictures or an ideal in their head, without regard for their own body type and shape, which can cause a certain size to look dramatically different on one woman as opposed to another. This can be corrected by removing the existing implants and placing new implants that meet the desired size, whether larger or smaller.

Another reason for breast augmentation revision is implant leakage. This can happen a few years after breast augmentation is done, and cause the implant to deflate and take on a misshapen quality. Dr. Wells can remove the leaking implant and either replace it with a new implant or leave it alone and remove the other as well, if the patient has decided to return to their natural shape. The dangers of silicone leakage are still debated in the medical community, but it is generally agreed that the dangers of saline implant leakage is negligible.

Asymmetry is another common reason patients come in for breast augmentation revision. This can be fixed by adding a smaller or larger implant to either breast to correct the symmetry and produce a more natural, aesthetically pleasing result.

Some patients consult Dr. Wells for breast augmentation revision as a result of capsule contracture. This is when scar tissue forms around the implant, causing the breast to harden as the tissue surrounding the implant tightens and squeezes. While this complication can be unpredictable, it is also one of the most common side effects of breast augmentation. Procedures to correct this can range from a regimen of antibiotics, medication, or a capsulectomy.

Other reasons for having breast augmentation revision can include a fluctuation in breast size and a desire to exchange old implants for new ones. This can include a switch from saline implants to silicone, or vice versa. Dr. Wells is well versed in breast surgery revision techniques and has over 20 years of experience to draw on to assist you with whatever problem you may have.
