Why You May Need Revisional Breast Reconstruction
Emotionally and aesthetically pleasing breasts are the ultimate goal of breast reconstruction surgery. If your reconstructed breasts do not look or feel the way you envisioned, you may be a candidate for revision surgery. Dr. Ghaznavi wants you to know that there is still hope for improving your breasts. Our board certified plastic surgeon combines industry-leading approaches with attention to aesthetic detail to offer transformative results through breast revision.
Some of the common complaints from breast reconstruction include:
What Can Make Breast Reconstruction Go Wrong
There are a number of reasons why these issues can occur:
Patients should be at least six months out from their initial breast reconstruction procedure before pursuing revision surgery. This gives the breast adequate time to heal, the implants to settle into position, and all swelling to resolve.
Surgical Techniques for Revision Breast Reconstruction
Improvements can be made whether your reconstruction involved implants or your own transplanted tissue (autologous reconstruction). Revisions of a breast involving autologous tissue are some of the most artistically challenging surgeries in breast reconstruction, making the patient’s choice of plastic surgeon especially important.
The technique used for a revision breast reconstruction will vary, depending on the reasons for revision and the patient’s desired results. Sometimes revision breast reconstruction will be performed in stages, involving more than one operation to optimize healing and results. During the consultation, Dr. Ghaznavi will determine the exact technique needed to improve the breast and provide the most natural looking results.
