Revision Breast Surgery: Restoring Confidence and Harmony
At The Plastics Atelier in Omaha, we understand that pursuing revision surgery is often a deeply personal and emotionally charged decision. If you are dissatisfied with the results of a previous breast augmentation or lift, our practice is dedicated to providing the skilled, compassionate care needed to achieve the beautiful, satisfying outcome you initially desired.
Dr. Hall has extensive experience in Revision Breast Surgery, focusing on complex cases where subtle imbalances, technical issues, or natural body changes have compromised a patient's results.
Why Patients Seek Revision Surgery
It is not uncommon for women to require revision surgery for aesthetic or medical reasons. The breast is dynamic and changes over time due to aging, weight fluctuations, and gravity. Technical issues may also arise after the initial procedure.
We commonly address the following concerns at The Plastics Atelier:
Asymmetry: Discrepancies in the size, shape, or position of the breasts that were not present or fully corrected after the initial surgery.
Implant Malposition: When implants have shifted from their intended pocket. This includes:
Bottoming Out: The implant has dropped too low.
Lateral Displacement: The implant has moved too far to the side.
Symmastia ("Uniboob"): The implants have migrated toward the center, eliminating the natural cleavage line.
Capsular Contracture: A tightening and hardening of the scar tissue (capsule) that naturally forms around the implant, often causing pain, distortion, and firmness.
Ptosis (Sagging): When the breast tissue has dropped over time, often making the implant appear high on the chest wall (sometimes called a "waterfall" deformity).
Rippling or Palpability: Visible or feelable folds in the implant.
Size or Shape Dissatisfaction: Simply wishing to change the size, type, or projection of the current implants.
Our Approach: Precision and Personalization
Revision surgery is inherently more complex than the primary procedure. It requires not only placing or removing an implant but also correcting existing scar tissue, reshaping the breast pocket, and managing skin envelope issues.
At The Plastics Atelier, our approach involves a thorough diagnostic process:
Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct a detailed review of your surgical history, current implant specifications, and perform a physical examination to precisely diagnose the cause of your concerns.
Addressing the Root Cause: We focus on correcting the underlying anatomical issue, which may involve:
Capsulectomy: Removing the hardened scar capsule (for contracture).
Pocket Adjustment: Surgical techniques to tighten or modify the implant pocket to correct malposition.
Mastopexy (Lift): Combining a lift with implant exchange to correct significant ptosis and reposition the nipple/areola complex.
Fat Grafting: Using your own fat to camouflage implant edges, soften contours, or correct minor asymmetries.
Achieving Harmony: The goal is always to create a final result that is balanced, natural, and harmonious with your overall physique and expectations.
