Breast Implant Deflation & Repair

view breast photo gallery

Although breast augmentation is and continues to be one of the most satisfying cosmetic surgeries, problems can arise that may prompt a revisionary surgery procedure or breast implant removal. Problems that have been documented in the literature include the following:

• Capsular contracture
• Rippling
• Deflation
• Displacement
• Infection
• Asymmetry
• Breast droop
• Nipple droop
• Symmastia

Patients may also change their preferences and decide to alter some aspect of their breast implants. Breast augmentation patients may seek a revision for such reasons as the following:

• Change in breast implant size
• Switch implant type (saline to silicone)
• Surgery to revise a scar
• Need for a subsequent breast lift
• Breast implant removal

Breast implant removal can be done for medical reasons or because of the patient’s choice. A revisionary surgery can be simple or relatively extensive.

Dr. Samaha consistently seeks to mitigate the negative consequences of procedures like breast implant removal. Performing a breast lift is one available option that can help patients maintain an attractive breast shape.
