Breast Implant Revision FAQ
How long will the results of breast revision last?
Breast revision surgery is intended to provide long-term results, with the outcomes generally considered to be permanent. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, the natural aging process may eventually affect the breasts' appearance. Additionally, while the risk of complications is generally low, it is still possible to experience issues with your breast implants over time. Therefore, it is essential to continue monitoring your implants regularly and scheduling check-ups with your board-certified plastic surgeon as needed. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following postoperative instructions, you can help ensure the longevity and optimal appearance of your breasts for years to come.
Will there be scarring after breast revision surgery?
One of the significant benefits of breast revision surgery is that in most cases, the same incisions from the original breast augmentation can be used, resulting in minimal additional scarring. However, depending on the revision techniques required, additional incisions may be necessary, or the original incisions may need to be lengthened. Nevertheless, these scars can typically still be concealed with bras and bathing suits. It is important to note that all surgical scars will fade over time. While it may take up to a year or more for the scars to fully mature and fade, there are several things you can do to minimize scarring, including avoiding sun exposure and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Chivers and his team will work closely with you throughout the entire breast revision process, including scar management, to ensure that your results look as natural and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
