Corrective Breast Implant SurgeryCORRECTIVE BREAST
IMPLANT SURGERY
Cosmetic breast surgery is not without risk and some patients may be dissatisfied with the outcome of their surgery. This is particularly the case when choices are made based on the lowest price rather than surgeon expertise.
Added to this, all breast implants deteriorate over time and breast tissue changes as patients age. For these reasons, an increasing number of patients require corrective, renewal or revisional breast surgery.
This type of surgery demands a critical assessment of the breast tissue, the previous surgery, implants and scars, and the likely outcome from further surgery. Such expertise can only be gained from a combined cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery background.
Mr Harris is amongst the most experienced, trusted and respected breast plastic surgeons in the UK.
For over fifteen years he has helped pioneer the development of modern breast surgery procedures and, as an international expert, has presented and written widely on the topic. He is increasingly seeing patients who request corrective surgery and has therefore developed an expertise in this area.
Silicone breast implants do not last forever and usually need to be changed at least once throughout a patient’s life.
Increasingly, as the modern aesthetic changes to a more athletic look and as we focus more on well-being in society, many patients want to have their breast implants removed.
Benefits of Corrective Breast Implant Surgery
Corrective breast implant surgery, also known as breast implant revision or augmentation revision, is a surgical procedure designed to address issues or concerns related to existing breast implants. This surgery offers several important benefits to individuals who have undergone breast augmentation or reconstruction but are seeking adjustments or corrections. Here are the key benefits of corrective breast implant surgery:
Improved Aesthetic Outcome: Corrective breast implant surgery allows individuals to achieve their desired aesthetic outcome, whether it involves changing the size, shape, or position of the implants. It can help address issues such as asymmetry or unsatisfactory results from previous surgeries.
Enhanced Self-Esteem: Achieving the desired breast appearance through corrective surgery can significantly boost self-esteem and body image. It helps individuals feel more confident in their bodies and appearance.
Customized Results: Corrective breast implant surgery is highly customizable. Patients can work closely with their plastic surgeon to tailor the procedure to their specific goals and concerns. This flexibility ensures that the results align with their preferences.
Improved Symmetry: Corrective surgery can address issues related to breast asymmetry, ensuring that both breasts are more evenly matched in size and shape. This is especially important for those who have experienced complications or uneven results from previous surgeries.
Resolution of Complications: Corrective surgery can address complications that may have arisen from previous breast implant procedures. This includes issues like implant rupture, implant malposition, capsular contracture, or implant visibility, which can be corrected to improve overall comfort and appearance.
Updated Implants: For individuals who wish to replace older or less advanced implant types, corrective surgery allows for the update to newer and more technologically advanced implant options.
Restoration After Weight Changes: Weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or other life changes can affect the appearance of breast implants. Corrective surgery can restore the breasts to their desired state following these changes.
Enhanced Comfort: Corrective breast implant surgery can alleviate discomfort or pain associated with issues like implant malposition, rippling, or excessive tightness due to capsular contracture.
Improved Quality of Life: The physical and emotional benefits of corrective surgery contribute to an improved overall quality of life. Individuals often experience greater self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
Resolution of Unsatisfactory Scarring: For those who are dissatisfied with scarring from previous procedures, corrective surgery can address scar revision and minimize the appearance of scars, creating a more aesthetically pleasing result.
Minimized Risk of Complications: When performed by a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, corrective breast implant surgery is associated with a reduced risk of complications and adverse outcomes. It can provide a more predictable and reliable outcome.
Long-Lasting Results: Corrective breast implant surgery aims to provide long-lasting results that align with the patient’s aesthetic goals. When combined with proper postoperative care and maintenance, the results can be maintained over time.
In summary, corrective breast implant surgery offers numerous physical and psychological benefits to individuals seeking adjustments or corrections to existing breast implants. It not only improves the physical appearance but also enhances self-esteem, body confidence, and overall well-being. It’s essential for individuals considering this procedure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss their specific goals and determine if corrective breast implant surgery is the right solution for their unique needs and desired outcomes.
