revision breast surgery

• breast augmentation
• breast lift (mastopexy)
• breast reduction
• gynecomastia
• revision breast surgery
• breast reconstruction (cancer)

This category is primarily for women following breast implants.  As a specialist in breast surgery and augmentation, I am referred many difficult issues with breasts.  The reasons vary.  Women with older implants, particularly the first generations of gel implant, can have hardening of the breast.  Some people simply want to go larger, some smaller.  Over time asymmetry may form or worsen.  With time, the breast ages.  Pregancy and breast feeding also take a toll.

These surgeries are difficult.  Every patient is different.  I perform revision surgery, including neopocket, change of implant plane, change from gel to saline or vice versa, size changes, capsular contracture (hardening) release, complete removal of implant, and revisions including a breast lift.

If possible, please bring a copy of your original operation report and your card of implant type and size with you.  (You can get this from your original surgeon’s office or from the hospital you where you had your surgery.)  Unlike a first time breast augmentation, we know a lot more information about what you want.  Do you like the implant volume? Do your right and left side feel even? These and other questions let me tailor your next surgery to insure we get you to your desired result.
