Three Reasons Women Seek Breast Implants Revision

Many women in Lubbock have found increased confidence and satisfaction with their bodies through the routine and generally safe surgery for breast implants. However, some patients do experience complications as a result of the procedure. Even when a breast augmentation surgery is performed perfectly, problems can still arise. But don’t get discouraged; you are not stuck with implants that have gone wrong. Thankfully, these issues can be resolved through breast implant revision surgery.

Implant Rupture

If you opted for saline implants when you had your initial breast augmentation, you should be able to tell if your implant leaks. The rupture will cause the shell of the implant to deflate like a balloon would if the air is let out. The breast will have a noticeable change in size and shape, but the saline leaking into your body is not harmful. Silicone implants are not as obvious when they leak. It is recommended that Lubbock women with this type of implant have an MRI every one to two years to make sure it is still intact.

Capsular Contracture

When an implant is placed inside the breast, the body creates a pocket of scar tissue around it. If your breasts begin to appear unusually firm and round, it could be an indication that the tissue has become too tight around the implant and need removal. Other signs of capsular contracture include pain and discomfort, tightness, and high-riding or misshapen breasts.

Dissatisfaction with Breast Implants

Some women end up wishing they had chosen a different size for their breasts, and others experience asymmetry or eventual sagging after augmentation.
