Revision breast surgery is performed to address breast surgery issues regardless of whether the patient previously underwent a breast augmentation, reduction or mastopexy (breast lift). Dr Goldman provides tailored breast surgery revision in Perth.
Why Consider Revision Breast Surgery?
Patients may seek revision breast surgery to:
- Remove Implants – Due to personal preference, implant lifespan or other implant specific complications.
- Replace implants – To meet the patient’s personal preference or address an implant specific issue.
- Adjust size or shape – To align with a patient’s requested outcome or preferred symmetry.
- Correcting other concerns – Including capsular contracture.
During the consultation, Dr Goldman provides a comprehensive assessment discussing options and expected outcomes to help patients make informed decisions.
What Happens During Revision Breast Surgery?
This will depend on the patient’s original operation and their goals. The procedure may involve:
- Implant exchange – Replacing existing implants with a different type or size.
- Implant removal – With or without additional reshaping of the breast tissue.
- Correction of complications – Addressing capsular contracture, rippling or asymmetry, to name a few.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
Recovery will vary based on the procedure performed, any previous surgery and the patient themselves. All patients receive detailed guidance on postoperative care, activity modifications and follow-up assessments.
