Revision Breast Reconstruction in Dayton, OH
Not all breast reconstruction surgeries provide permanent results. Many women find that their previous reconstruction no longer suits them as time goes on. These ladies are a good candidate for revision breast reconstruction performed by one of the board-certified surgeons at Miami Valley Plastic Surgeons.
What Is Revision Breast Reconstruction?
Put simply; revision breast reconstruction involves revamping the results of a previous breast reconstruction. This may be done for a number of reasons such as to:
- Remove implants that have moved out of position, are rippling, or have leaked
- Correct symmetry between the two breasts
- Eliminate scar tissue or nodules due to radiation
- Create a nipple, particularly if the reconstruction involved an outdated technique that did not allow for one
Benefits of Revision Breast Reconstruction
Some of the benefits of revision breast reconstruction can include:
- Eliminating anxiety about unpleasing results, particularly if it involves a faulty implant
- Creating a more pleasing form
- Providing more uplifted breasts
- Increasing self-esteem
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for a Revision Breast Reconstruction?
Any woman who is not currently being treated for any chronic medical condition and is displeased with her previous reconstruction could be a good candidate.
What do I Need to do Before a Revision Breast Reconstruction?
That will depend upon the type of reconstruction you have and the kind of revision you are interested in.
What Should I Expect on the Day of my Revision Breast Reconstruction?
Revision procedures are too numerous to go into in great detail, which is why we cannot tell you what to expect until after your consultation.
How Long Does it Take to Perform a Revision Breast Reconstruction?
Most revisions take about the same amount of time as initial reconstructions, lasting anywhere from two to four hours.
What to Expect After a Revision Breast Reconstruction
Some swelling and tenderness is always possible after a revision breast reconstruction. Depending upon the technique used, you may also experience light bruising.
Will I Have Scars After Getting Revision Breast Reconstruction?
Perhaps, although our goal is to use the same incisions as before whenever possible so that you do not have any more scars than necessary.
When Will I See the Results?
You should notice some results right away, but it could take a few weeks for the full benefits to be visible.
How Long Will the Results of a Revision Breast Reconstruction Last?
Your revision breast reconstruction will provide you results for many years, often even a lifetime.
Additional Procedures to Enhance Your Revision Breast Reconstruction Results
Consider a tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck or brachioplasty to help highlight and emphasize your new figure.
How Much Does Revision Breast Reconstruction Cost in Dayton?
Because you may have different needs than any other patient, we will not be able to discuss the exact cost with you until after your consultation. Cash, personal checks, and credit cards are always accepted for any of the procedures we offer, and many of our patients will also qualify for low-interest financing.
