What is Breast Implant Revision?

Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing issues related to existing breast implants. It may involve modifying the implant size, shape, or type, or correcting complications like rupture, leakage, or capsular contracture. When performed by Dr. Lampert, breast implant revision in Miami can help improve the aesthetics and comfort of the breasts after initial implantation.

Dr. Lampert’s Approach to Breast Implant Revision

Dr. Lampert puts patient safety and satisfaction as his top priorities. In order to do this, he sees only a select few rather than a high volume of patients. To these individuals, he applies the same delicacy and meticulous precision as he would offer to any family member or loved one. In place of aggressive sales tactics, Dr. Lampert uses the tools of patient education and information, empowering others to make their most authentic choices. In order to fulfill his ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of patient safety, Dr. Lampert created his own state-of-the-art Ambulatory Surgery Center, Miami Surgery, LLC, a facility that houses among the most cutting-edge technology and equipment in the industry. Unlike almost every other plastic surgery operating room in South Florida, Miami Surgery, LLC is Federally Certified by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), the same agency that licenses all of the best hospitals in the state of Florida.

Miami Surgery, LLC is one of only three other AHCA-certified ASCs in Miami-Dade County dedicated to plastic surgery and operated by only Board Certified Plastic Surgeons (American Board of Plastic Surgery) and Board Certified Anesthesiologists. Patients and their families can remain confident that Dr. Lampert’s facility meets and exceeds the same operating standards as the ambulatory surgery centers found in world-class hospitals.

Breast Implant Issues

Unfortunately, some women naturally develop conditions that cannot be predicted or prevented. When this is the case, Dr. Lampert finds that revision surgery is usually indicated.

The Lifespan of Breast Implants

Many consider breast implants to have a “lifespan” of about 10 to 15 years. Most women do not experience any major complications or unwanted cosmetic changes regarding their breast implants initially. Time and conditions such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and any significant weight fluctuations can cause changes to the breast tissue and position of the implants in relation to the breasts. This can create an undesirable change in the cosmetic appearance of the breasts.
Some of the cosmetic breast augmentation problems that can develop are:

Nipple asymmetry
Rippling over the implant
Loss of sensation
Unnatural feel to the implants
Implants too large
Implants too small
Wrong type of implant -- desire to switch to a different type of implant

Do You Need Breast Implant Revision?

Revision surgery is used to correct a number of problems connected with breast augmentation. It is estimated that early breast revision surgery will be desired by 20% of all breast augmentation patients. Some complications that require breast revision surgery are:

Ruptured implants
Symmastia—the appearance that the breasts fuse together in the middle
Poorly positioned implants or breast droop that has not been addressed
Visible rippling over the implant
Capsular contracture or tight scars around the implant
Muscle flex deformity

In some women, complications can occur, which makes revision surgery a necessity. Ruptured implants always need to be removed. Capsular contracture problems can sometimes be relaxed using oral medication. When this fails, surgery is necessary to relieve the pressure of the tight capsule on the constricted breast. Typically, the final result of the primary breast augmentation will take at least 6 months to settle in.

During this time, deep scars soften, and breast implants typically drop and “fluff” for a softer and more natural look. After time, however, it may become obvious that the hoped-for result has not been achieved. Miami cosmetic breast surgery specialist Dr. Joshua Lampert finds that women who try to simply accept their disappointing results are never able to fully enjoy their new image. In this case, breast revision surgery should be considered to avoid years of regret and frustration.

What is the Consultation Process Like?

Patients who have undergone a primary breast surgery and are seeking revisions may already feel frustrated and distressed about not being able to achieve their original goals. Dr. Lampert in Miami understands this unhappiness and has designed a detailed consultation process that will help to empower you with knowledge and confidence for a successful outcome the second time around. He listens carefully and uses your input to create a personalized surgical plan that will resolve your cosmetic issues and restore your quality of life.
