Corrective Surgery of the Breast

Corrective surgery of the breast includes women who come here seeking additional breast surgery to improve the disappointing results of earlier procedures performed elsewhere. Revision breast surgery may include replacing breast implants, revising the pocket that the implant sits within, removing excess skin or fat, excising hardened areas, repositioning nipples, revising scars or a combination of several of these methods. Men also seek out surgery for enlarged breast tissue (gynecomastia) and are frequently dissatisfied with the result. This is usually because there is either too much tissue removed or not enough. Dr. Moliver has experience with these revisions as well.

Women are sometimes concerned that revision surgery may not completely "fix" their cosmetic concern. Dr. Moliver has many years of experience and advanced training to deal with the issues that arise when revising a prior breast augmentation, breast lift, or other breast surgery.

Process

The exact process of your plastic surgery procedure, after-surgery care and recovery are specific to each patient. Generally, revision surgeries are outpatient procedures lasting from one to three hours under general anesthesia, with the expectation of some discomfort and swelling that follow any surgical procedure. Patients are encouraged to have a responsible adult drive them home after the procedure and provide 24 hours or so of in-home care. The schedule for resumption of normal activities and the risk profile is similar to other breast enhancement procedures with variations to suit each patient's situation.
