Reasons for Revision Surgery
Any number of factors could lead to unsatisfying breast appearance. Sometimes, an implant has stretched out the surrounding skin or has shifted into an unattractive or uncomfortable position. Other times, excess scarring, drooping of the breast, implant asymmetry, or implant rupture leads a patient to seek out surgical correction. Increasingly, women who originally chose saline implants, are now interested in upgrading to the more natural look and feel that silicone implants can offer.
Challenges of Revision Surgery
When women visit Dr. Sorokin from New Jersey and Philadelphia for breast augmentation surgery it is a relatively straightforward procedure. Corrective breast surgery, however, is often more technically challenging and usually takes longer than the original procedure. Breast implant revision requires a surgeon with extensive experience. It's important to understand what makes this surgery more technically complex. First, internal and external scar tissue can make implant revision more complicated, particularly in patients who have had several prior breast surgeries. Second, the skin has often stretched and thinned out since the initial surgery, which can limit Dr. Sorokin's reconstruction options. Lastly, the initial surgery usually has altered the anatomy of the breasts and chest wall, in many cases requiring individualized corrective techniques to restore the area to its natural appearance.
Revision Techniques
Dr. Sorokin often finds that implant revision is a life-changing experience for his patients. Breast implant revision can boost self-esteem and result in dramatic aesthetic improvements. In addition, Dr. Sorokin, as a board-certified plastic surgeon, is optimally trained for the unique challenges and techniques that the procedure requires. These techniques may include moving existing subglandular implants under the pectoral muscle, reconfiguring the breast pocket for more tailored support of an implant, modifying the size or position of the areola, or revising scar tissue.
Implant Exchange
As more women learn of the benefits of the latest generation of silicone implants, they are increasingly interested in replacing their saline implants with cohesive silicone gel implants. Other women seek breast implant revision in order to adjust the size of their original implants. In these cases, while the initial breast augmentation surgery did not result in an abnormal or aesthetically-challenged breast, patient preference and personal satisfaction are legitimate and common reasons to seek implant revision.
As he does with all his breast augmentation patients, Dr. Sorokin spends a significant amount of time during consultation to understand your concerns and craft a surgical plan that will provide you with an optimal outcome. Dr. Sorokin finds that again and again this extensive patient dialogue is critical to success and patient satisfaction. Note that not all problems can be corrected and Dr. Sorokin will never promise a result unless he believes it can be delivered.
