Breast Revision

If you are disappointed with the outcome of a previous breast augmentation procedure, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Renee Burke can help you achieve your desired goals with breast revision surgery in Barrington, IL.

REVISIONS TO PRIOR BREAST SURGERY

Revision of prior breast surgery may be desired or recommended for a number of reasons, including:

YOUR REVISION BREAST AUGMENTATION CONSULTATION

Dr. Burke understands the frustration you experience when faced with the desire or need for breast revision. During your consultation, she will address your specific goals, concerns, and expectations. These are carefully evaluated prior to offering you an individual recommendation for correction of prior breast surgery and an expectation of what is possible to achieve or correct.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BREAST REVISION SURGERY

Breast revision surgery can generally be performed through the same incisions sites as your initial breast surgery. Specialized techniques and the use of tissue substitutes (or fat grafting) may be recommended if you lack tissue to cover an implant or require additional support for an implant.

This is generally an outpatient procedure, performed under general anesthesia. However, if it is combined with other procedures such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, it may require an overnight stay.

BREAST REVISION SURGERY RECOVERY

Recovery depends on the extent of your breast repair. Patients are typically ready return to light activities within 2 to 3 days and regular activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Results can be long-term, but weight loss/gain, future pregnancy, or natural aging may impact the shape and appearance of your breasts.
