Breast Revision Overview

What Is Breast Revision Surgery?

If you're unhappy with your results from a previous breast procedure, breast revision surgery could be the right option to achieve the desired look. Breast revision covers many procedures designed to correct breast and/or implant problems or complications. With an experienced and skilled surgeon like Dr. Andres, you can trust that your breast revision in Scottsdale will provide a solution and deliver the look that you have always been hoping for.

What Concerns Can Breast Revision Address?

Hardened scar tissue: scar tissue (capsular contracture) can cause your breasts to feel hard or look distorted and uneven.
Asymmetrical breasts: some breast augmentations leave women with asymmetrical nipples or implants in size and placement.
Deflated implants: deflated implants are far less likely with today's advancements but can still occur, resulting in sagging breasts.
Improperly positioned implants: improperly placed implants can happen, which could result in the implants being too high, too low, too close together, or too far apart on the chest.
Dissatisfaction with size and/or shape of the breasts or scars: correction of breast or implant size or improvement in breast shape may be improved with revisionary surgery to achieve the desired size/shape that you were desiring. Precision suturing to attain a beautiful, inconspicuous appearance of the scars is always done.
