breast revision surgery. Medically, issues such as capsular contracture, implant deflation, and implant malposition may necessitate revision. Certainly any change in your physical comfort or the look and feel of your implant should be brought to the attention of Scottsdale breast surgeon Dr. John Corey as soon as they occur. However, the most common reasons women seek revision surgery have nothing to do with medical concerns at all.
If you are experiencing any discomfort or are simply unhappy with results from a previous breast surgery and would like to learn about your revision options, please contact John J. Corey, MD online or call our Scottsdale, Arizona office at 480-767-7700 today to schedule your initial consultation.
Aesthetic Imperfections
Many women look to breast implant revision surgery to correct aesthetic issues such as implant creasing, rippling, or wrinkling. These unsatisfactory results following breast augmentation or breast mastopexy-augmentation may be bothersome enough to motivate a patient to seek help, however, changes in personal desires such as wanting more ideally sized and shaped implants may also play a role in seeking revision. In the end, the choice to pursue breast revision surgery is entirely yours and should be based on your personal wants and needs.
Dr. Corey is a board-certified breast implant revision surgeon with over 20 years of experience. He is here to listen to your concerns, discuss all of your options, and help you choose those that will most enhance and complement your frame.
Practical Considerations
Good candidates for breast implant revision surgery need to be in generally good health and prepared for a surgical procedure and recovery period similar to that following the initial breast augmentation procedure. In most cases, it is also highly recommended to wait at least 6 months from your last surgery before scheduling a consultation. That way, we can be sure that things have healed and settled probably where they are going to stay. Dr. Corey can often use the same breast implant incisions used before, and on rare occasions, the same implants, but he may suggest different placement of implants for optimal results. This, as with all surgical options, will be discussed with you in full prior to your procedure, to ensure results that are in line with your goals.
