Revision Breast Augmentation
Did you know that the most common reason for someone to undergo another breast augmentation procedure is not because of leaking implants or some other type of complication; it’s because they aren’t happy with the outcome of their first surgery, and it’s usually due to size.
A frequent complaint is that the size of the implants they’ve chosen is too small, and the only way to amend this problem is to undergo another procedure to replace the implants with a bigger size. This secondary breast augmentation, also known as revision breast augmentation, tends to be more complicated than the first.
Increasing size for saline implants can be easier than when dealing with silicone, since a minor change may be achieved by simply adding a bit more saline into the implant. This requires a smaller incision and less trauma to the body.
When changing the size of silicone implants, however, the implants must be completely removed and replaced, which usually means a larger incision and more complicated procedure. This is the same if a bigger boost for saline implants is required as well.
Some other reasons to have a subsequent breast augmentation are the following:
the implants were incorrectly placed, creating an unnatural/undesirable appearance
a preference for different implant filling (for example, switching from silicone to saline)
Also, some women just don’t like the way their life has changed since undergoing surgery, even though the results met their expectations.
