Breast Implant Revision Dallas

Looking for the best breast implant revision in Dallas? While most breast implants are meant to last at least a decade, there are also several reasons why patients may be interested in replacing their implants early, with a procedure known as breast implant revision surgery. This surgery can correct issues that may arise directly following breast augmentation or fix or replace breast implants after many years.

What Is Breast Implant Revision Surgery?

Breast Revision procedure refers to a surgery that removes and replaces a patient’s breast implants. Patients may opt to get a breast implant procedure because they are having trouble with their current breast implants (breast implant rupture, a leaking implant, visible implants, bad positioning, smaller implants, implant stretching, breast asymmetry, etc.).

Or, it can be a common procedure for patients who simply want a new implant, to change their implant size, shape, or positioning.

Candidate for Breast Implant Revisions

Good candidates for breast implant revision have breast implant concerns that are aesthetically or medically related, or both. You may be unhappy with how your primary breast augmentation feels or looks (shape, size, position, etc.). Or, you may have concerns related to a rupture, capsular contracture, or another medical issue. In either case, breast implant revision is generally recommended. Aside from your desire to get this secondary procedure, a qualified patient must also:

Be a non-smoker
Have realistic expectations regarding outcomes
Be physically healthy
Be at a healthy weight

How Is Breast Implant Replacement Done?

Every breast implant replacement surgery is different, as we tailor our revisions to the individual. Generally speaking, however, most surgeries follow these basic steps:

Administration of anesthesia

Different procedures necessitate varied types of anesthesia. Most revision procedures require general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

Incisions

There are several incision types that may be made with implant revision surgery. Which incision(s) your surgeon uses will depend on what method of breast augmentation you underwent during your original surgery, what procedures you’re undergoing now, the extent of those procedures, and what your overall goals are. Periareolar (around the areola) and inframammary (in the breast crease) incisions are the most common.

Breast implant removal

The old breast implants, along with any abnormal scar tissue, are removed.

Breast implant replacement

New silicone or saline breast implants are placed in the breast implant pocket.

Incision closure

All incisions are closed.

Breast Implant Replacement Recovery

You will be able to return home from surgery on the same day as your procedure. You will be in bandages and, in some cases, a surgical bra. Some patients require a drain following surgery as well, which will help reduce fluid buildup. Recovery from your breast implant procedure will last several weeks.

The duration of your recovery and the specific symptoms you experience will vary depending on the type of surgery you choose. Discomfort, bruising, swelling, numbness, and tingling are all common side effects during this time. Recovery instructions will be provided following your procedure.

It is of the greatest importance that patients follow these directives to maximize their results and reduce the risk of complications. Ensure that you attend all follow-up appointments, take care of your surgical sites, get plenty of rest, avoid exercise and physical exertion, and take your prescription medications as directed.

Breast Implant Revision Cost Dallas, TX

We completely understand the desire to know how much your breast implant revision in Dallas will cost. However, it is nearly impossible to provide an accurate cost estimate as every procedure is unique to the patient and their situation.

For example, one patient’s breast tissue may be severely damaged and require extensive scar tissue excision. Furthermore, this patient may opt for both implants and a breast lift. Contrast this with a patient who has clean, healthy implants but simply wants to swap them out for a larger pair, and you can see the inevitable difference in cost between these two surgeries.

All in all, the cost of your procedure will be based on the following:

Geographic location of surgery
Surgeon’s fee
Whether pre-surgical medical x-rays and exams are needed
Anesthesia costs
Surgical facility/hospital costs
Price of new implants
Cost of various incidentals, such as surgical bras and medications

Before committing to breast implant replacement surgery and scheduling your surgery date, your breast revision specialist will provide you with a more accurate cost estimate.

Additionally, certain instances may involve the implant warranty covering a portion of the expenses linked to this procedure.

How painful is breast revision surgery?

How is breast revision done?

To perform this procedure, your plastic surgeon will first administer anesthesia, then make the primary incisions. Sometimes, your original breast augmentation incisions can be reused. In other situations, your surgeon may need to make new incisions.
Your old implants and scar tissue will then be removed, and your new implants will be placed into the breast pocket. Finally, your surgeon will close your incisions, and you will be relocated to a recovery room.

Is breast revision more expensive than breast augmentation?

Typically, yes. Because breast revision surgery is usually more complicated than initial breast augmentation, it is often more expensive for many patients.

Do implants drop and fluff after a revision?

After implant revision surgery, your chest may feel tight, and your breasts will sit higher up on your chest than usual. After two to three weeks, you should notice your implants “dropping” to a more natural final position, and the lower pole of your breasts will fill out more.

Is it cheaper to have breast implants replaced?

The cost of breast implant replacement and correction surgeries tends to be slightly higher than that of the initial augmentation procedure.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Raj’s nurse injector. It was my first time getting filler and she was very confident and comforting. My lips turned out great! I’ve had Botox several times, but this was by far my best experience. My friends have had surgery by Dr. Raj and he did a fantastic job.
