Breast Augmentation Revision in Naples

There are many reasons why women choose breast implant revision surgery, though there are a few that are more prevalent than others.

Unsatisfying Cosmetic Results

In some cases, a woman may not be happy with her primary breast augmentation outcome and seek corrections for their breast implants. Other women trade older saline implants for silicone breast implants made of cohesive silicone gel. Dr. Prysi can perform a breast implant revision procedure in the Fort Myers area.

Capsular Contracture

This complication occurs when the tissue that naturally forms around the breast implant pocket begins to tighten and constrict, creating a hardened breast that feels and looks unnatural. Following Dr. Prysi’s instructions regarding breast care is the first step in preventing capsular contracture.

Implant Deflation or Rupture

Though silicone implant rupture is not very common, it does occur in a small percentage of women. The current generation of silicone gel implants will maintain their shape if torn or ruptured, so regular MRI screenings are needed to detect rupture.

If a saline implant ruptures, the effects of said rupture are immediately obvious, with the implant seeming to “deflate” while the sterile saline is harmlessly absorbed into the body. You will then be able to have it replaced and reinflated, if you wish, or removed entirely.

Is Breast Augmentation Revision Right for Me?

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your breast implants, experiencing discomfort, or noticing changes in your implants over time, breast augmentation revision may be the right choice for you. Whether your goals have shifted or complications have developed, Dr. Prysi can help restore your confidence with a personalized treatment plan. During your consultation, he will listen to your concerns, examine your results, and recommend the best options to help you achieve your goals.

Types of Breast Augmentation Revision       

Breast augmentation revision can address a range of concerns, from correcting implant size or placement to replacing outdated implants with newer technology. Some revisions focus on treating complications such as capsular contracture or implant rupture, while others are purely cosmetic adjustments. Dr. Prysi will work closely with you to determine the specific type of revision that meets your needs.

Before Your Breast Augmentation Revision Procedure

Before your procedure, you will undergo a consultation with Dr. Prysi. It is essential to avoid certain medications and blood thinners under your doctor’s supervision. To promote optimal healing after surgery, it is recommended to be a nonsmoker, maintain a healthy diet, and get an adequate amount of sleep. Some patients may need to obtain medical clearance and lab work before surgery.

During Your Breast Augmentation Revision Procedure

Your breast augmentation revision procedure will be carefully tailored to your goals and the condition of your existing implants. Dr. Prysi typically works through the original incision sites whenever possible to minimize additional scarring. Depending on your needs, he may remove scar tissue, replace or reposition implants, or combine your revision with additional techniques such as a breast lift for the best possible results.

After Your Breast Augmentation Revision Procedure

The recovery time for a breast revision procedure is normally four to six weeks. You should expect downtime to last between one to two weeks. These factors depend on the extent of your surgery, and your body’s healing abilities. For the first two weeks after your breast revision surgery, you should avoid prolonged lifting of your arms. This can decrease bleeding and can allow the body to heal as best as possible.

What Can Be Combined with Breast Implant Revision?

Breast implant revision surgery can be an ideal opportunity to enhance your overall figure and address other concerns in a single procedure. Many women choose to combine their revision with complementary surgeries to achieve a more comprehensive and balanced results.

Mommy Makeover with Breast Implant Revision

A mommy makeover with breast implant revision allows women to restore their bodies after pregnancy, childbirth, or significant weight changes. This combination procedure typically includes breast surgery along with body contouring treatments such as a tummy tuck or liposuction. By performing these procedures together, Dr. Prysi can help you achieve a rejuvenated, youthful silhouette with a single recovery period.

Breast Implant Revision and Lift

For women experiencing sagging or a loss of breast shape, along with concerns about implants, combining breast implant revision with a lift can provide exceptional results. A breast lift (mastopexy) can reposition the breast tissue higher on the chest, creating a perkier and more youthful contour. This combination is helpful for patients who have had implants for many years or experienced changes due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.

Breast Implant Revision and Nipple Repair

In some cases, patients may wish to address nipple position, size, or symmetry during their breast implant revision. Dr. Prysi offers nipple repair procedures that can be customized to your specific needs, helping you achieve a more balanced breast appearance. Whether performed alone or alongside implant revision and lift techniques, nipple repair can further enhance the look of your results.
