Breast Revision Procedure
Revision breast surgery is similar to your original breast surgery. Dr. Dreyfuss performs it as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Depending on the initial surgical approach, your aesthetic concerns, and your anatomical needs, he may be able to use the original incision as a guide to perform the revision.
For instance, to perform revision breast implant surgery, Dr. Dreyfuss makes an incision around the original location when medically suitable for the patient. He then removes the original implants, re-closes the implant pocket using dissolvable sutures before closing the incisions with external stitches. Finally, he dresses the incision wounds with bandages and fits you with a surgical bra. This compression garment helps minimizes swelling and supports the tissues during the healing process.
As with the primary procedure, some of the aesthetic effects of revision breast surgery will not noticeable immediately following the operation. However, after a few months, you will see the full benefits as the new implants settle into their natural position, the post-surgery swelling subsides, and your body heals completely.
