Although we wish it weren’t so, sometimes breast surgery revision for implants is necessary. There are many reasons you might need a re-do of a prior breast implant surgery. Dr. George Solomon at Solomon Cosmetic Center in Tampa, FL, understands that you may have hopes, expectations, and even disappointments related to your prior surgery. Please know that Dr. Solomon will hear what you have to say and help you meet your goals.
While many women choose to keep their implants for the entire life of the implant, there are several reasons breast implant removal may be necessary. In the case of certain breast revision surgeries, such as capsular contracture or saline rupture, removal of the implant is mandatory. Additionally, the removal of implants may be desired for personal reasons. Patients may feel the original implants are too large or may want to replace them with other methods such as an internal breast lift or fat grafting.
The procedure for breast implant removal or replacement is short, generally lasting 30 minutes. If a patient is undergoing a removal without a replacement implant, Dr. Solomon will likely use the same incision that was used for the original breast augmentation surgery. If the implant is filled with a saline solution, he may deflate the implant before removal. The saline solution will be naturally absorbed by the body over time and is not dangerous.
Breast surgery revision to correct a capsular contracture consists of removing the scar tissue that has formed in the implant pocket as well as the implant. If another implant will be inserted during the breast revision surgery, the procedure will include the use of acellular dermal matrices or ADMs which are highly successful in helping the body accept the implants and keep them in place.
