Each year, millions of women undergo breast augmentation surgery to enhance their appearance and confidence. While the surgery does just that for many women, other women may look to correct results from surgery several months or years after the initial procedure.
Fortunately, New York plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, specializes in revision breast augmentation, which helps patients correct disappointing results from previous breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Greenberg says patients usually seek this procedure to correct issues with the shape, size, or placement of the implant. Other reasons for undergoing the surgery include changes to the breasts caused by weight gain, weight-loss, or pregnancy. Implants may also leak or rupture, and need to be replaced.
Prior to surgery, Dr. Greenberg evaluates the state of a woman's breast by performing a mammogram or MRI. This helps him to identify any issues or complications with the existing breast implants, such as leakage. He also reviews the patient's medical history, and formulates a surgical plan based on the patient's needs.
Dr. Greenberg explains that revision breast augmentation surgery, which is performed under general anesthesia, is performed in a very similar manner to breast augmentation surgery. What happens during the surgery will depend on what the patient is looking to accomplish. Depending on the specific case, Dr. Greenberg may completely remove the existing implant, replace the implant with a smaller or larger one, or simply readjust the implant's position. This procedure is often combined with mastopexy (breast lift surgery).
According to Dr. Greenberg, recovery from revision breast augmentation surgery is easier than recovering from normal breast implant surgery. There is little swelling or discomfort associated with the procedure, and most patients are back to their normal activities within several days. Dr. Greenberg says that the best way of avoiding revision procedures is to work closely with a plastic surgeon that is experienced with breast augmentations, and will offer the patient personalized attention.
Dr. Greenberg has extensive experience in both breast augmentation surgery, and revision breast surgery. He has offices located in Southampton, Woodbury, and Manhattan. Interested parties are encouraged to contact 516-364-4200, or visit http://www.breastauglipocenter.com.
