In the examples below as depicted, this patient had revision breast augmentation with implants or removal and replacement of breast implants. All patients have different goals following revision breast surgery. This patient decided to have larger implants compared to her initial surgery. After a thorough consultation with Dr Nara, this patient decided to have removal and replacement of breast implants, partial removal of capsules, capsullorrapphy, and insertion of synthetic absorbable mesh. The existing pockets were thoroughly washed with antibiotic solution. Not only was the mesh secured to the breast foot print but it also provided a complete envelope of the implants.
Removal and replacement of breast implants alone with larger sized implants may not provide a favourable outcome in the long term. This is why further adjuncts of surgery especially with insertion of absorbable mesh was required.
It is vital to understand that all patients who have revision breast implants will have incisions and scarring. The unedited photography as below as consented by patient allows the viewer to appreciate the natural formation of scars following cosmetic revision breast implants. The scar placements for the surgery are shown as well as the incision lengths. These results are unique to this patient. Each patient will have varying outcomes depending on genetics, medical illness, and capacity to heal. In addition, depending on the surgical options chosen by the patient, this will alter the results of scarring significantly. Therefore these results are not generalisable and are used for education purposes. Dr Nara and the team at RevAesthetic will tailor the surgical plan unique to each and every patient. Hence, a tailored consultation unique to each patient is vital in line with Medical Board of Australia guidelines. To learn more about the risks of surgery click here.
