Want to Go Bigger or Smaller? Maybe You Need a Breast Implant Revision

Have you had breast implants for a while, or do you no longer like the look of your breast implants? Are you unhappy with the shape or size, or have you had other complications that have affected your self-confidence surrounding your implants’ look and feel? Breast revision surgery, or breast implant replacement, might be a good option for you.

If you want to replace your breast implants, consider a breast implant revision surgery with board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Bryan S. Armijo. This procedure can improve your overall happiness and comfort with your appearance.

What Is a Breast Implant Revision?

A breast implant revision, or a breast augmentation revision, is a surgery that replaces your old breast implants with new ones, changing or improving the appearance of your breasts at the same time. This surgery can include a lift or reduction, or increase or decrease the implant size, depending on your specific goals or concerns.

Dr. Armijo often performs revision breast augmentation through a procedure much like the initial augmentation surgery, with some slight modifications made depending on the reason for revision.

Why Consider Breast Implant Revisions?

Most women seek an implant revision because they want to change their breasts’ shape, size, or projection. While many women are happy with their breast augmentation performed by other surgeons, some patients seek revision surgery after unsatisfactory results from their initial procedure. Sometimes, your aesthetic ideals or lifestyle might change, leading you to seek a more natural look. Breast implant revisions can also include a lift to reduce the appearance of sagging breast tissue that occurs over time.

Your Surgeon Choice Matters

If you are one of the many considering a breast implant revision surgery, remember that this type of breast surgery can be more complex. Dr. Armijo must specifically tailor it to achieve your goals and desires, and the surgery will also involve existing complications and scarring, among other issues from your previous breast augmentation surgery.

For these reasons, it is vital to have your breast implant revision be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with all breast enhancement surgeries, including breast implant revision. Dallas-based plastic surgeon Dr. Armijo understands the profound difference reconstructive surgery can make in a person’s life.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Implant Revision Surgery?

 

Breast implant revision surgery is for individuals who have previously had a breast augmentation and are unsatisfied with their results for various reasons including the shape, size, and overall look and feel of their breasts. If you are worried about the condition and state of your breast implants, you may also be a candidate for breast augmentation revision surgery.
