Breast Revision Surgery in San Diego, CA

The goal of breast augmentation is to achieve beautiful results that enhance the contours of your body. Choosing a size, shape, profile, and type of breast implant will have a dramatic impact on your results. However, the most important decision is selecting an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform your procedure. If you didn’t get the results you envisioned from another doctor, you may feel more self-conscious about the appearance of your breasts than you did before surgery. Luckily, you don’t have to live with these complications forever. If you are unhappy with the results of your initial breast augmentation or if the appearance of your breasts has changed over time, breast revision surgery can help you achieve or restore your desired look. At San Diego Body Contouring, we’re proud to offer breast revision surgery to change the size or type of your implants, or to correct problems from a prior procedure.

What is breast revision surgery?

Breast revision surgery involves removing or replacing breast implants from a prior enhancement to achieve a natural contour and appearance. The procedure offers a solution for women who have changed their minds about their ideal breast size, or who are unhappy with how their breast implants have changed the look of their breasts over time. Even the most perfectly placed implants can ripple, harden, change shape, shift position, rupture, or leak. Breast implants typically last between 10 and 15 years before a breast revision surgery is necessary to maintain volume and shape.

When to consider breast revision surgery

There are many medical and cosmetic reasons to consider breast revision surgery. If you are unhappy with the results of a prior breast enhancement or if you’re suffering from complications, it might be time to consider a second procedure to correct the problem.

• Your breast tissue has changed due to skin stretching or weight loss/gain
