What to Expect The Revision Breast Surgery Procedure

During a revision breast surgery procedure, we begin by making an incision, typically in the same location as the previous breast augmentation incision. The specific incision pattern may vary, depending on your anatomy, the reason for revision, and the desired outcome. Once the incision is made, Dr. Higdon carefully accesses the breast implant and surrounding tissue, assessing the existing condition and identifying any issues that need to be addressed. Depending on the nature of the revision, he may remove and replace the implant, adjust the implant pocket, remove scar tissue (capsulectomy), or perform other necessary modifications to achieve the desired result. Implant exchange may involve changing the implant's size, shape, or material to suit your aesthetic goals better or address complications. Many patients need to have a concurrent mastopexy (breast lift) or reduction, and some may even need fat grafting or scar revisions to achieve their ideal result. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Higdon prioritizes precision and attention to detail to ensure optimal outcomes for every patient. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the complexity of the revision and any additional procedures performed but typically ranges from two to three hours. Revision breast surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure.

Initially, there may be some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the breasts, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and wearing a supportive surgical bra.
