Why Choose Breast Augmentation Correction

Breast augmentation correction is a surgical procedure that corrects problems or dissatisfaction resulting from previous breast augmentation surgeries. Here’s why choosing breast augmentation surgery can be beneficial:

Improved Aesthetic Results: If the initial breast augmentation does not meet expectations or aesthetic preferences have changed over time, breast augmentation surgery can change the size, shape, and contour of the breast to achieve the desired appearance.
Resolve Medical and Cosmetic Complications: Complications from previous surgery, such as capsular contracture, implant malposition, rippling, or symmastia, can be corrected. This not only improves appearance but also relieves discomfort and other symptoms associated with these problems.
Upgrading Implants for Safety and Comfort: Breast implants are not lifelong devices; upgrades may be necessary to ensure safety and comfort. Revision surgery offers the opportunity to replace old or damaged implants and potentially upgrade to newer models.

Who is a Breast Augmentation Correction Candidate?

Revision breast augmentation surgery is for people who have previously had breast augmentation surgery but are experiencing problems or are unhappy with the results. This surgery solves several issues, making some people ideal candidates: 

Complications During Implantation: Candidates are often those who have had complications from a previous breast augmentation, such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or leakage.
Changes in Aesthetic Preferences: Revision surgery is eligible for those who wish to change their implants’ size, shape, or type. This includes people who feel their implants are too big, too small, or not the shape they want.
Physical Changes Affecting the Appearance of the Implant: People whose body changes have affected the appearance of their implants are also candidates for consideration. This may be due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging, which can change the appearance of the breasts.
Symmetry and Positioning Issues: Individuals with problems such as asymmetry between the breasts or improper placement of implants are candidates for revision surgery. This surgery allows the position of the implants to be adjusted.

How to Prepare for a Breast Augmentation Correction

Preparation for breast augmentation surgery is critical to ensure a successful outcome. Here are the main steps to follow in preparation for the procedure:

Inital Consultation

Discuss thoroughly with your plastic surgeon your reasons for seeking revision surgery, what you are trying to achieve, and any concerns about the procedure.
Medical Examination

Your surgeon will conduct a complete physical examination, including reviewing your medical history and any previous surgeries.
Medication Review

anti-inflammatory drugs, that may affect the results of your surgery.
Give Up Smoking

If you smoke, you will need to stop smoking for at least a few weeks before and after surgery, as smoking can significantly impair healing and increase the risk of complications.
Diet and Hydration

Eating a healthy diet rich in vitamins and proteins can help strengthen your body for surgery and recovery. Drink more fluids to ensure optimal body functions.

The Benefits of the Breast Augmentation Correction

Long-Term Satisfaction

Revision breast augmentation surgery can address cosmetic and medical concerns and lead to long-term satisfaction with appearance and comfort. This ensures that breast augmentation results meet the patient’s needs.

Improved Aesthetic Appearance

One of the main benefits of breast augmentation correction is the ability to improve the aesthetic appearance of the breasts. A revision can correct problems such as asymmetry, incorrect implant size or shape, ensuring that the breasts appear more proportionate.

Updated Implant Technology

Breast augmentation correction surgery can replace old implants with new, more advanced ones. This may include switching from saline implants to silicone implants, or switching to shape-resistant gummy bear implants, which offer better shape retention and less risk of leakage.

Stages of the Breast Augmentation Correction Process

Evaluation and Discussion

The process begins with a thorough consultation where your surgeon evaluates your current breast condition, reviews your medical history, and discusses your concerns and aesthetic goals.

Customized Surgical Plan

Based on your initial consultation, your surgeon will develop a customized surgical plan. This includes choosing the appropriate types and sizes of implants, deciding surgical options to correct specific problems.

Medical Tests and Evaluations

You may have additional medical tests to ensure your readiness for surgery. Preoperative instructions will be provided, including advice on medications, fasting, and other health-related preparations.

Surgical Procedure

On the day of surgery, you will be given anesthesia for comfort. The surgeon will then make any necessary adjustments, which may include removal, replacement, repositioning of the implant, or additional contour and tissue adjustments.

Initial Recovery

You will spend some time in the recovery room under observation to manage immediate postoperative symptoms, such as postoperative pain. Once your condition has stabilized, you can return home with detailed aftercare instructions.

Treatment and Monitoring

Recovery may include wearing compression garments, taking prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments. These appointments are vital to monitoring your recovery.

Aftercare Instructions for Breast Augmentation Correction

Proper care after breast augmentation correction surgery is necessary for a successful recovery and the best results. Here are some basic guidelines:

Compression Garments

As directed by your surgeon, wear a compression bra or garment. They help reduce swelling and support new breast contours.
Rest

Get adequate rest and avoid strenuous activities that may strain the chest area. Schedule a break from work to focus on recovery.
Medications

Take pain relievers and any prescribed antibiotics as directed to reduce discomfort and prevent infection.
Ice Packs

For the first few days, use ice packs or cold compresses to reduce swelling and numb pain. Be sure to wrap them to avoid direct contact with the skin.
Keep the Incisions Dry and Clean

Follow your surgeon's instructions for wound care. This usually involves keeping the area dry and clean to prevent infection.
