About Revision Breast Augmenation
Most females after their initial breast augmentation with or with out a breast lift will need revision surgery and/ or maintaince surgery in the future. There are multiple reasons why revision surgery is preformed:
- patient is unhappy with their initial results, size or position of implant and shape of the breast
- patients that develop capsular contraction (hardening of the implant)
- Breast droop after child birth and breast feeding.
- Breast implant rupture
- Patient who would like change the type of implant, silicone to saline most common.
Dr. Broujerdi has a vast amount of experience in breast augmentation revision surgery. The most important aspect of this procedure is on handeling the internal and existing implant pocket. In some patients the implant pockets need to be changed or tailored into a different shape in order to prove you with a natural lifted appearance. In most cases the pre-existing incision will be used for the procedure. Dr. Broujerdi will inform you the best approach for you and don’t forget to discuss with him your desired outcome.
Our practice is also pleased to announce the addition of 3dMDtorso system that now provides incredible visual aid in the 3D image analysis of patient chest, as well as proper technique planning, simulation surgery or implant selection for various breast related surgeries. The 3dMDtorso software provides a simulation platform for breast surgery, this enables surgeons and patients to visually communicate and collaborate on the outcomes of breast procedures by using the patients own image presented in precise 3D format. The software also allows for the selection of implants from the major manufacturer catalogs, position the implant above or under the muscle, adjust for skin and tissue type.
Procedure is usually preformed as an out-patient surgery in an accredited ambulatory surgical center or hospital. Dr. Broujerdi prefers seeing his patients the next day for follow up. You should expect a minimum of one week of down time after this procedure, some patient will require longer healing period. Dr. Broujerdi’s professional office staff will assist with post surgical care information.
