Breast Revision Surgery London

Breast implant revision is a procedure designed to correct or improve the results of previous breast augmentation.

You might require this type of surgery for various reasons, including dissatisfaction with the size or shape of your existing breast implants, complications such as capsular contracture, or changes in personal preference over time.

During the revision process, Mr Banwell will assess your existing breast implants and discuss your goals and concerns.

Breast implant surgery can involve replacing the current implants with new ones, removing them entirely, or making adjustments to achieve a more natural appearance.

Capsular contracture is a medical condition that involves the formation of scar tissue around the breast implant, which can cause the breast implant to feel firm or hard and may lead to changes in its shape.

The condition occurs when the body’s natural healing response creates a capsule of fibrous tissue around the implant, intended to isolate it from surrounding tissues.

When breast implants rupture, the outer shell breaks apart which can lead to the leaking of the breast implant’s contents. The condition can occur with both saline and silicone implants, although the implications differ slightly between the two types.

In saline implants, a rupture typically results in immediate deflation as the sterile saltwater solution escapes, leading to noticeable changes in breast size and shape. Silicone breast implants may not show immediate signs of rupture since the silicone gel often remains trapped within the surrounding tissue.

Implant malposition occurs when breast implants are not positioned correctly within the breast pocket during breast augmentation surgery, leading to asymmetry or an unnatural appearance. Misalignment can result from various factors, including inadequate surgical technique, tissue characteristics, or post-operative changes.

Symmastia, on the other hand, refers to a condition where the breasts appear to merge in the middle of the chest, creating a uni-boob effect. This complication typically arises when implants are placed too close together or if there is insufficient tissue coverage between them.

Over time your preferences for your aesthetic can change and you may end up being unhappy with the size or shape of your current breast implants.

Breast surgery can be an ideal solution to change the appearance of your breast tissue and achieve the look you desire.

Addressing complications from previous breast surgery can result in several benefits including:

• Improved breast shape and size
• Greater self-confidence and peace of mind
• Correction of potentially hazardous conditions
• Gain a refreshed appearance with newer and more advanced breast implants

Breast revision surgery usually takes a few hours but will vary depending on the particular technique that’s deemed right for you.

There are various options to choose from for breast revision surgery including:

• Breast implant replacement
• Revision surgery targeting the breast implant pocket
• Breast lift or mastopexy
• Breast fat transfer

Before any surgical procedure, you will be required to have an in-depth consultation with Mr Banwell. During this meeting, you can discuss your goals and desired results. The best type of breast revision surgery for your particular condition can then be explored.
