Understanding Reconstruction Revision Surgery

Breast reconstruction revision surgery is performed to address issues or enhance the appearance of breasts following an initial reconstruction surgery. This may involve correcting asymmetry, improving the shape or size of the reconstructed breast, or addressing complications such as implant-related issues or tissue flap concerns. Our goal is to help you achieve outcomes that align more closely with your expectations and contribute to your overall sense of well-being.

Reasons for Reconstruction Revision Surgery

• Cosmetic Concerns: Adjustments to size, shape, or symmetry to better match the natural breast or to meet the patient’s aesthetic preferences.
• Complications: Addressing issues such as capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implant), implant rupture, or flap complications.
• Natural Changes: Changes in the reconstructed breast due to weight fluctuations, aging, or hormonal changes may necessitate revision for optimal results.
• Advancements in Technology: Upgrading to newer implant types or utilizing advanced techniques not available during the initial reconstruction.

The Procedure

Reconstruction revision surgery is highly individualized, based on the specific concerns and goals of each patient. Procedures may range from relatively minor adjustments to more comprehensive reconstructive surgeries. Techniques can include:

• Implant Exchange or Removal: Replacing old or damaged implants, changing implant size, or removing them altogether.
• Fat Grafting: Using the patient’s own fat to enhance the shape, smooth out contours, or correct asymmetry.
• Flap Revision: Modifying or repairing tissue flap reconstructions to improve appearance or address complications.
• Scar Revision: Improving the appearance of scars from the initial reconstruction surgery.
