Breast Revision in Atlanta, GA
Dr. Brandon Mang | Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States. In most cases, it creates outstanding outcomes. Unfortunately, sometimes a patient might be unhappy with the results of her breasts and may need breast revision treatment. While few breast augmentations do end with an undesirable outcome, there are individuals who wish to have a larger or smaller implant while others may have a visible irregularity and prefer to have the breast implant corrected or removed altogether. It is important to note that not all breast revisions are due to practitioner error. In addition, some women need revision surgery for a unique condition. Plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang performs breast revision surgery for Atlanta, GA women at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery so they can have their aesthetic goals met.

Common Reasons for Breast Revision in Atlanta, GA
If you are having breast revision surgery, it is likely to either take out an implant that is defective or not functioning or you no longer want. Breast revision surgery may also be performed to switch implant size or go from an implant to a fat transfer (or vice versa). There are a number of common reasons in which a revision treatment is desired or required.
Asymmetry
This condition occurs when the implant sizes look uneven. This may be due to an incorrect size implant, sagging or drooping on one side, or another condition that would cause asymmetry.
Bottoming Out
This is a condition that can happen when one or both breasts drop too low or “bottom out.” Sometimes, this is a positioning and placement error from the original operation. When this occurs, a different placement technique, tissue grafting, or changing the type of implant may be recommended to help you reach your desired results.
Breast Size
Sometimes a secondary breast surgery is as simple as wanting a larger or smaller sized breast implant. During the first surgery, you may have gone too big or too small, and after time, you’ve realized you’d like a different size to reach your desired look.
Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture is the term used for scar tissue hardening, occurring when the soft tissue around your implant becomes hard and thickens. While breast implants typically do result in some internal scar tissue, there are some cases where that scarring could interfere with implant placement, which can change the implant function and create an undesirable outcome.
Implant Rippling
Implant rippling occurs when you see visible wrinkles and ripples under the skin that typically form just along the edging of the implant. Rippling is more common in women who are of low body weight and can be fixed by simply switching to a silicone implant.
Implant Rupture
Even though this is rare, breast implant rupture can possibly occur. When a saline implant type ruptures, deflation will take place rather quickly. Therefore, visible flattening will be noticeable. On the other hand, if a silicone implant ruptures, it is only detected via an MRI. In either case, if a rupture occurs, additional surgery will be needed.
Symmastia
This condition happens when implants are placed too close together and is most often because the implant used was either the incorrect shape, size, or width.

What Can I Expect After Breast Revision?
After your surgery, you’ll have a brief observation period, then be sent home to complete your recovery there. Your overall recovery time will vary based upon what is involved in your surgery. Revision surgery that requires complex revision techniques will have a longer recovery, possibly taking up to several months. You should begin to see your surgical results when the bruising and swelling begin to disappear. Dr. Mang or someone on his team will go over the recovery process and what you can expect and might even have some suggestions to help you heal faster. It’s important to schedule and attend follow-up appointments as directed so Dr. Mang can monitor your recovery for optimal results.

Atlanta, GA Breast Revision FAQ
How Much Does Breast Revision Surgery Cost?
Your cost for breast revision surgery can vary greatly depending on the complexity of your procedure. In your consultation, Dr. Mang will listen carefully to your needs and goals before performing a physical exam to assess your implants. Then, he will discuss your choices before developing your surgical plan. The cost of breast revision surgery will depend on the complexity of the procedure, plus what you choose for your new implants. It’s better to concentrate on getting great results by choosing an experienced plastic surgeon, like Dr. Mang, instead of the cheapest option. To help make your surgery affordable, Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery accepts several payments and we can help you find low-interest financing.
What if Dr. Mang Wasn't My Original Surgeon?
Dr. Mang can perform your revision surgery even if he was not your original surgeon. Revision surgery is sometimes more difficult than augmentation surgery if you want dramatic changes or have problems, so it is important to find a plastic surgeon like Dr. Mang who has experience and advanced training in breast surgery. Dr. Mang also encourages his patients to come back to Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery for breast revision surgery after their implant surgery if they have an issue or would like new implants.
What About Loose Skin?
If you are getting your implants removed or are changing to a significantly smaller size of implants, you may need to have excess skin removed during your surgery. After hearing your goals and assessing your current implants, Dr. Mang can discuss the need for a breast lift to remove loose skin. If you lose a lot of weight, become pregnant, or breastfeed after augmentation surgery, a revision with a lift gives you better results.
Will There be new Scars?
Whenever possible, Dr. Mang will make the incisions for revision surgery in the same location as your original augmentation incisions. If this isn’t feasible, he will place the new incisions in areas where they will be less noticeable. Revision surgery typically involves one of four incision types: a transaxillary incision (in the armpit), a periareolar incision (around the lower edge of the areola), an inframammary incision (beneath the fold of the breast), or a TUBA incision (transumbilical, through the belly button). Dr. Mang or a member of his team will provide scar care instructions to ensure your new incisions heal well and blend smoothly with your skin.
Do I Have to Change My Implants?
Although implants are designed to last a long time, they will eventually need to be replaced. After your breast augmentation surgery, it’s essential to have your implants checked at least once a year so Dr. Mang can help you decide when it’s time to replace them. With advancements in medical technology, you may also want to explore the latest implant shapes and materials for a more enhanced outcome during breast revision surgery.
Is Breast Revision Painful?
In most cases, patients find breast revision surgery to be less uncomfortable than their original breast augmentation. Pain levels and recovery times are typically much lower, allowing patients to return to their regular routines more quickly.
