Breast Augmentation and Breast Implant Revision Surgery

Breast augmentation involves surgical placement of a breast implant behind each breast to increase its volume and enhance its shape. The surgery can give you the proportional figure that you have always desired. Most patients are extremely happy with their breast implants and their breast augmentation surgery. However, there are times when patients desire a correction and revision of their breast implants. When a correction and revision of breast implants are needed, it is important to find a breast augmentation specialist who can best perform the surgery. Breast implant and breast augmentation corrections and revisions are more complicated than a standard breast augmentation. It is usually a longer surgery along with requiring more expertise and careful attention to details. Dr. T. Y. Steven Ip is a plastic surgeon who specializes in the correction and revision of breast implants, breast augmentation, and breast asymmetry.

There are various reasons that patients may seek the correction and revision of their breast implants. Two common causes may be saline breast implant deflation and rupture of silicone implants. For the saline breast implants, the detection of the deflated implant can be easy to spot. There will be a marked asymmetry of the breast volume. The correction and revision of the saline breast implants require removal and replacement of the breast implants by either saline or silicone breast implant. For silicone breast implant rupture, the detection can be more difficult. The breast may show no asymmetry and have the same volume, but the breast implants can be broken. The correction and revision of silicone breast implants require complete remove of the breast implant and all leaking silicone followed by replacement of the breast implants.

Another cause for seeking correction and revision of breast implants and breast augmentation can be scar formation (Capsular Contracture). Excessive scar formation around the breast implants is called capsular contracture. Excessive scar formation can make the breast implants feel hard along with causing breast distortion and breast asymmetry. In severe cases, the breast implants can become painful. The correction and revision of breast implants with excessive scar formation (capsular contracture) wills requires complete removal of the capsular scar and exchange of the breast implants. Early and aggressive massaging of the breast implants after the surgery can also help decrease the chance of recurrence of the problem.

Unhappy results can also be another cause for seeking correction and revision of breast implants and breast augmentation. The cause for unhappiness is very personal. It can be due to a desire for larger or smaller size breast implants. It can be due to a change in your body shape like weight gain or weight loss. It can also be due to pregnancy. The correction and revision of the breast implants in these cases has to be individualized. Sensitivity to the patient's concerns and understanding the patients desires will help meet their expectations.

Finally, another reason for seeking correction and revision of breast implants and breast augmentation is to re-do a poorly performed original breast implant surgery. Again, the correction and revision of the breast implants has to be individualized according to the problem.

Breast implant and breast augmentation revision and correction is a highly individualized procedure. Choosing to have breast augmentation and breast implant revision and correction surgery is a very personal decision. Every patient's body and breasts are unique and different. In addition, every patient's desires and goals are unique and different. By giving his personal attention to every detail, Dr. T. Y. Steven Ip aims to perform the best possible breast augmentation and breast implant revision and correction result for your body.
