Breast Implant Revision

Due to various reasons, many women are in need of breast implant revision following their initial breast enhancement. It has been my experience that many patients are often unsatisfied with the results of their breast augmentation surgery due to either receiving the wrong size or shape. Some of the most common reasons why a woman may need a revision are due to experiencing unsatisfactory results, implant shifting, capsular contracture, and implant leaking. Recently, I have also seen those who wish to upgrade from saline implants to silicone gel breast implants.

Therefore, prior to the patient’s initial breast augmentation procedure, she must be clear and direct regarding her goals. In addition, it is important to follow all pre- and post-surgery instruction in order to ensure proper healing. Open communication is the key to achieving an optimal outcome and reducing the need for a secondary surgery. Should the occasion arise, I do perform implant revision surgery at an accredited surgical center in the Inland Empire.

I understand that each patient is a unique individual and I strive to provide my patients with the information they need to make an educated decision. Being the second time around for them, I am sensitive to their needs and do my best to make them feel at ease throughout their breast enhancement procedure. If you have any questions regarding breast revision surgery, I encourage you to visit my Inland Empire Plastic Surgery practice to discuss your options.
