What Is Breast Revision Surgery?
Breast augmentation using implants is one of the most effective cosmetic procedures in America, and in most cases, it allows for beautiful, natural outcomes. Unfortunately, sometimes a woman can be unhappy with the results of her breast implants and may require breast revision treatment. While there are a few surgeries that do end with an unpleasing outcome, there are individuals who desire a different size implant while others may prefer to have the implant changed or removed altogether. In addition, some women must have breast revision to treat a medical condition. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andre P. Marshall is an expert in breast revision surgery and can provide more information during a thorough consultation at Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, CA.

How Is Recovery from Breast Revision Surgery?
After your procedure and an observation period, you can go home to start your recovery. The overall recovery varies depending on what is involved in your surgery. Revision surgery that warrants complex revision techniques will have a longer recovery which may take up to 6 – 8 weeks. You should slowly start to see your results once the swelling begins to disappear. Dr. Marshall or a member of His team will discuss what is normal during your recovery as well as suggestions to help you heal faster. You should attend your follow-up visits as directed so Dr. Marshall can assess your healing and results.

Breast Revision FAQ
How much does breast revision surgery cost?
The cost of breast revision surgery can vary based on what needs to be done. In your consultation, Dr. Marshall will listen to your concerns and goals before performing a physical examination of your current implants. After this, he can discuss your options before creating your surgical plan. The cost of breast revision surgery will depend on the length and complexity of the procedure, plus your new implants. It is best to concentrate on getting great results by finding a skilled surgeon, like Dr. Marshall, rather than the cheapest surgeon. As a way to help make your surgery affordable, Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery accepts many payment methods and can give you information on low-interest financing.
What if Dr. Marshall wasn't my original surgeon?
Dr. Marshall can perform your revision surgery even if he wasn't your original surgeon. Revision surgery can be more difficult compared to the original augmentation, especially if you want dramatic changes or have problems, which is why it is important to choose a surgeon like Dr. Marshall who has years of advanced training and experience in breast surgery. Dr. Marshall also invites his patients to return for revision surgery after their original breast augmentation surgery if they notice an issue or would like a change.
Can breast revision surgery address loose skin?
When you are having your implants exchanged or removed, you may want to have excess skin removed during your surgery. After hearing your goals and evaluating your current implants, Dr. Marshall can discuss the need for a breast lift to remove sagging skin. If you lose a significant amount of weight, become pregnant, or breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery, a revision combined with a lift can help you get better results.
