Breast Revision Overview

Correcting and Restoring Your Bust

In others, patients might discover that they’re not happy with their results to begin with. Whatever your particular situation may be, Dr. Fisher is here to help, performing breast revision in Connecticut to restore the results of your breast augmentation or reconstruction and finally give you the look you deserve.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for the Breast Revision Procedure in Westport, Connecticut?

Most patients who come to Dr. Fisher for a breast revision procedure are unhappy with the results of a prior augmentation or reconstruction. This can take many forms, as it is common for the results of a breast procedure to change over time. The position of your implants may change, or an implant can sometimes rupture or lose its shape.

Sometimes the results of breast augmentation or reconstruction are simply not what the patient was expecting, and Dr. Fisher’s skills are sought to revise the outcome of the previous procedure. This can happen when breasts don’t look or feel quite as natural as the patient was expecting, or if the patient finds that their new breasts don’t look proportional or naturalistic.

Dr. Fisher will work closely with you to learn about the concerns you have with your previous breast surgery. Together, you’ll develop a treatment plan that restores your appearance and enables you to finally enjoy the shape and curves you want.

Will My Insurance Cover Breast Revision Surgery in Connecticut?

While breast augmentation is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, sometimes breast revision surgery can become a medical necessity. Breast revision after breast reconstruction is often covered by insurance. In addition, complications that can come after augmentation can sometimes become medically urgent, and in these cases, it’s increasingly likely that your insurance provider will cover a breast revision surgery.

The following conditions usually create a sufficient amount of medical urgency to warrant insurance coverage:

Capsular contracture, which involves a hardening of the tissue capsule that forms around the implant once it’s been placed.
Breast asymmetry can occur when an implant migrates out of its proper position.
Implant rupture, which may cause deflation of saline implants or leakage of silicone.
Poor incision healing can cause painful complications.

When Should I Consider Breast Revision Surgery?

Adjusting Size or Shape

Sometimes, a patient will decide that they are no longer satisfied with the size and shape of their bust after a previous procedure, even if the results initially meet their expectations. A change in mind is not at all uncommon, and Dr. Fisher has the skills needed to help you find the bust size that is right for you.

Implant Rippling

Rippling refers to a condition in which the edges of the implant become visible just under the skin, or when an implant develops ripples that are externally visible. Breast revision can restore the implant’s naturalistic appearance, often by replacing a saline implant with a silicone one, as they are less likely to ripple.

Sagging or Bottoming Out

Sometimes the weight of an implant can stretch the skin, while in other cases the implant can simply sit lower on the chest than was anticipated. In either case, a breast revision can help to lift the position of the breast and restore a more perky and youthful appearance by either removing extra skin or inserting smaller implants.
