Breast revision is a category-defining any breast surgery performed some time after an initial operation on the breast. The reasons for revision surgery are numerous (see below under “who is a candidate”). These surgeries are often very complex.
Galanis Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills has extensive background in breast reconstruction uniquely qualifies him to take on some of the more challenging breast revision cases.
The procedure may be performed under either IV or general anesthesia. The procedure includes the following:
Breast Implant revision is an outpatient surgery that ensures immediate results, with ongoing size reduction over 4 to 8 weeks. Pain management varies, requiring oral medication for 7 to 10 days.
A compression bra is provided for 2 weeks, followed by a sports bra at 2 weeks and avoiding wire bras until 4 weeks postoperative. Drains are seldom used, and if so, removed within a week. Dissolvable sutures eliminate the need for removal.
No activity restrictions are imposed; walking is encouraged. Patients may shower after 2 days but should refrain from lifting over 10 pounds for 2 weeks, driving while on narcotic pain medication, and strenuous activity for 6 weeks.
Expect a 1 to 2-week work hiatus based on job demands. Postoperative follow-up appointments occur at 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and as needed.
The cost of breast implant revision surgery may fluctuate depending on a plastic surgeon’s experience and location. Health insurance and implant warranties can cover certain expenses. If insurance doesn’t apply, inquire about patient financing plans many surgeons offer for breast implant revision surgery.
