What to Expect During Your Breast Revision Surgery
Sitting down for a private consultation with Dr. Rahgozar is an important first step if you’re considering breast revision surgery. During this meeting, the doctor will need to know your reason for pursuing the procedure, including the specific issues you want to have addressed with your breast implants and any complications you’ve been experiencing. By understanding the problems you’re having and your specific aesthetic goals, Dr. Rahgozar will be able to curate a personalized treatment plan that will ensure satisfactory results.
Your breast revision procedure will likely be performed on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia. To begin, Dr. Rahgozar will make small incisions either around your areolas, along the natural creases of your breasts, or under your arms. If possible, he will use the original incisions from your breast augmentation to prevent additional scarring. The specific details of the surgery will depend on your unique treatment plan.
For example, Dr. Rahgozar may replace your current breast implants with new, customized implants of a different size, type, or shape. He may also lift or adjust the position of your implants, tighten your breast pockets with sutures, and/or remove unwanted breast tissue. Once he has finished making your desired changes, he’ll close your incisions with sutures and bandage the treatment area. You’ll then need to be monitored for a couple of hours, but after that, a friend or family member can drive you home.
