Revision Breast Implant Surgery may be performed for multiple reasons. Dr. Richard Tepper will review your options, based on your concerns and desires, and a personalized plan will be developed.
Capsular contractures can negatively affect the breast shape and position. Revision Breast Implant Surgery can loosen tight areas of capsule or remove actual portions of the capsule altogether. New implants are then inserted, helping to restore a softer and more balanced appearance. Before and after images of patients can be viewed in the gallery section.
Ruptured implants are not all the same. Older models of gel implants had more of a “liquid” center, and ruptures resulted in gel leakage. Revision breast implant surgery removes the ruptured gel and as much of the capsule as is feasible, and new implants are then inserted, imparting a new look and feel with a concurrent sense of well-being. Patients tend to be thrilled after such a procedure.
