Breast implants can significantly boost your confidence and satisfaction with your appearance, but they may not be a lifetime solution for everyone. Whether due to changes in preferences, lifestyle, or the natural aging process, you may eventually consider replacing your breast implants. Chicago plastic surgeon Dr. Marco Ellis specializes in breast revision surgery, offering patients a chance to renew or improve their breast augmentation results. Here are the key benefits of undergoing breast revision surgery.
Enhanced Comfort and Symmetry
One of the primary reasons patients opt for breast revision is to address issues such as discomfort, shifting, or asymmetry that can occur over time with breast implants. Breast revision surgery allows Dr. Ellis to adjust or replace the implants to ensure they fit more comfortably and symmetrically, aligning better with the patient’s current body shape and aesthetic goals.
Updated Implant Technology
Breast implant technology has advanced significantly over the years. Today’s implants are more durable and natural feeling than ever before. By opting for breast revision, patients can take advantage of these advancements, replacing old implants with new ones that offer improved safety and aesthetic features, such as highly cohesive silicone gel implants that maintain shape better and offer a more natural feel.
Personalized Aesthetic Changes
Over time, a person’s aesthetic preferences may change. Breast revision provides an opportunity to alter the size, shape, or even type of implants to better suit current tastes and lifestyle. Whether you desire a more subdued look or want to adjust the size up or down, Dr. Ellis can tailor the surgery to meet your new aesthetic objectives.
Correction of Complications
Although rare, complications such as capsular contracture (where scar tissue forms around the implant, causing it to harden), implant rupture, or wrinkling can necessitate revision surgery. Dr. Ellis has extensive experience correcting these issues, ensuring both the health and the appearance of the breasts are restored.
