Breast Revision
Three of the most common reasons women seek breast revision surgery are: a hardening around the implant due to internal scar tissue formation (capsular contraction); dissatisfaction with the size/shape of the initial implant; and the desire to upgrade from one implant type to another (often from saline to silicone). Breast revision surgery from our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Louis P. Bucky, can be an effective way for you to correct problems you may have experienced from a previous breast augmentation and give you results more in line with your original goals.
Your Individual Goals
Every woman has unique aesthetic goals for her breast revision procedure. Consequently, Dr. Bucky makes sure to give each patient the time they deserve during the consultation process to achieve the results they originally sought. He will review your sizing and shape options and use innovative imaging technology to ensure that both you and Dr. Bucky have clear expectations going into surgery.
Breast Revision Procedure
A successful revision can be accomplished using a variety of surgical techniques. In most cases, the old implants will be replaced with breast implants that will better achieve the desired look. In addition, the pocket that holds the implant may be moved from above the muscle to below – or vice versa, depending on your unique needs and aesthetic goals. One of Dr. Bucky’s primary concerns during breast revision is that the breast sits comfortably against the chest wall. In order to achieve a natural look, each breast revision procedure is custom-tailored to create a silhouette that is proportionate with the body.
A board-certified Anesthesiologist and a board-certified Nurse Anesthetist work closely with Dr. Bucky to ensure each procedure is optimized for safety. Dr. Bucky performs breast revisions at Pennsylvania Hospital and Tuttleman Surgery Center and, following surgery, patients can take advantage of Dr. Bucky’s extensive post-operative care program. With a combination of a pre-operative vitamin regimen, personalized nursing, and a personalized post-operative protocol, patients can typically expect a rapid recovery.
