Breast Augmentation Revision
Breast Reconstruction
Breast augmentation revision is necessary when a patient does not achieve the desired result following her first procedure. At the Hunstad Center, we do see some patients who are dissatisfied with their breast augmentation results. In most cases, individual healing and anatomy are the common denominators. Fortunately, we are able to significantly improve the results for almost all of the patients that we see.

 
Dr. Hunstad talks about:
Breast Augmentation Revisions

In the situation below, this patient had breast augmentation with saline implants placed above the muscle. She developed capsular contracture and did not have a very natural result. We converted her to silicone gel sub muscular implants with an outstanding result. We utilized the inframammary scar which was used for her initial procedure, avoiding any additional scars. The breasts are soft with beautiful shape and contour and she is ecstatic to have her desired result.
 


60 years old – This client had previous submuscular breast implants placed. She presented to us with bilateral Baker IV capsular contracture and ruptured double-lumen implants. We removed the ruptured implants and thickened capsules, replacing the implants with a moderate plus 300cc gel. She also had a full mastopexy to lift her breasts to a more youthful position.

Breast augmentation revision is a procedure frequently performed at the Hunstad Center. Many patients are saying that they have previously undergone a breast augmentation elsewhere but are dissatisfied with the results. Commonly, we replaced the implants and modify the pocket to achieve amore natural and beautiful result. Many times we see patients suffering from capsular contracture and we remove scar tissue and replace the implants. As with the next patient, if the patient is having difficulty with saline implants, we utilize silicone gel usually with great success. If an unnatural or undesired appearance is present with implants in the subglandular position, we convert to a submuscular position. It is commonly seen that the patients we see for secondary breast augmentation are dissatisfied with their original breast implant size. It has been our standard practice for many years to have our patients select their own implant size because this is a very personal decision. We do, however offer guidance during the decision-making process.

The following patient had submuscular saline implants. She had some rippling of the skin around the implants, which warranted an augmentation revision. She chose to convert her augmentation to a slightly larger gel implant. She is happy with her results and the natural feel of her new implants. *The post-surgery photos were taken only 2 weeks after surgery. ScarGuard® is applied to new incisions to reduce redness and soften scars.
