Boulder Plastic Surgery Provides Breast Implant Replacement to Denver Area Patients
It is important to determine the cause of any complications that you may be experiencing with your current implants. Also, in conjunction with your doctor, you must decide which type of replacement implants will be best for you.
What Can I Expect During Breast Implant Replacement Surgery?
First, your doctor will determine whether you need implant revision or replacement. If you’re experiencing scar tissue, it may be possible to do an implant revision, which means the doctor will remove the scar tissue and leave your current implants in place. If your implants are proven to be defective or they are improperly positioned, it is possible that your surgeon will recommend a full replacement with new implants.
The surgical process for breast augmentation revision will be very similar to your original breast augmentation procedure. General anesthesia will be used, although the replacement surgery will most likely take less time than your original procedure, as there are fewer steps involved. Most likely you will be in surgery for under an hour, and then kept for observation for three to twenty-four hours. Bed rest is required for two to three days after your procedure and patients can generally return to work in a week or two.
Your breast augmentation revision will leave you with plenty of options to consider. Below are some choices you’ll need to make in conjunction with your doctor’s advice.
- Are saline or silicone implants best for you?
- Would you prefer smooth or textured implants?
- Do round or teardrop shaped implants best suit your figure?
- What size of implants are best for you?
