A Thoughtful Approach to a Complex Surgery

When Dr. Firouz performs a breast augmentation revision in Beverly Hills, he will remove your old implants and replace them with new ones. Although it sounds simple, these are delicate surgeries that are often complex due to scar tissue and other complications with your primary procedure. It is important to partner with a board-certified plastic surgeon who understands these nuances, has experience navigating them, and can safely create the beautiful and balanced chest you want.

What Is Breast Augmentation Revision?

The goal of a breast augmentation revision is to improve the appearance of your breasts and correct complications with your implants. It almost always involves replacing your old implants with new ones, but it may also include complementary surgeries and tweaks, such as:

A breast lift
A breast reduction
Adjusting the implant pocket
Repositioning your implants

What Can a Breast Revision Do for You?

Patients undergo breast revision for many reasons. Pain, capsular contracture, implant rupture, and dissatisfaction with their aesthetic results are all common reasons that women seek out a revision.

Capsular Contracture

This complication arises when scar tissue surrounds and squeezes the implant, resulting in painful, firm, and distorted breasts. It is a serious complication that requires revision surgery.

Cosmetic Issues

A revision can correct problems with the size, shape, projection, location, and symmetry of your breast implants.

Rupture

A rupture can be a serious breast implant complication. It occurs when the implant’s outer shell breaks open and the implant filling leaks out. With a saline rupture, the breast implant visibly deflates. However, an MRI may be required to detect a silicone rupture because a ruptured silicone implant may retain its shape.

Rippling

Visible rippling may occur if your implant is too large or you lack enough breast tissue to cover the implant. During the revision, Dr. Firouz can replace your implant with a smaller one and change its position in your chest.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Augmentation Revision?

If you are concerned about your current implants or if you want to change the size, shape, or appearance of your breasts, you may want to consider a breast augmentation revision. As long as you are in good general health and your weight is stable, you are likely a candidate for breast revision in Beverly Hills with Dr. Firouz.

The Procedure

The specifics of your breast augmentation revision will depend on the reason you are having the surgery. Often, we can use the same incision that was created during your primary procedure. However, in some cases Dr. Firouz will need to extend that opening or create a different one.

From there, Dr. Firouz will remove your old implants and potentially adjust the size, shape, and location of the pocket that holds each implant in place. Depending on your needs, he may also lift the breast tissue and release scarring in the area.

Your Recovery

After Dr. Firouz closes the incisions, we will apply bandages to protect the area. Once at home, it is important to prioritize rest. After the initial recovery period, you will remove the bandages and wear a special surgical bra for several weeks to ensure proper healing.

Dr. Firouz will prescribe medication to ease post-operative pain. Complications at this stage are very rare and can be avoided by following your detailed recovery instructions.
