"Dr. Lapuerta and his staff gave me the best experience during my procedure, and exceeded my expectations. Dr. Lapuerta took his time during the consultation and reviewed many important points regarding my health and desired look. He made an amazing decision during the procedure to maintain perfect symmetry, this shows his great experience and interest in patient successful outcome, and I'm so thankful for that. His wife is his anesthesiologist, she really educated me on all the steps involved and ensured me I was in good hands. Brandi the office manager maintained a very professional character during the process and helped me obtain important paperwork. Sonia always greeted me with a smile and was attentive and delegated all my questions. The nurse Jana took the time to work on my paperwork and advocated for me as her patient. Shelby was also amazing, I love how she explained the medication as she applied to my incisions and kept me informed of everything that was being done to me.

Breast revision is a surgical procedure that may be needed if you’ve had issues with your implants. The implants can move out of place, rupture, deflate, or develop other issues that cause discomfort to you. Some women choose to have their implants removed or exchanged for a different size. Dr. Lapuerta can provide breast revision in Richmond, TX, so that you don’t have to travel far for surgery.
This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia as outpatient surgery. The surgeon will choose the best option for incision placement based on your needs. The surgery takes about one to two hours, depending on what you are having done. You can expect some swelling and bruising similar to the original surgery, with recovery about the same length of time.
When you have a breast revision, it allows you to make any changes to the shape or size of your breasts. It can also enable you to maintain the look you’ve been enjoying with new implants. If you’ve had issues with your current implants, it can relieve the discomfort.
If you’ve suffered from capsular contracture, breast revision surgery can break up the scar tissue. It can also reposition implants that have moved out of place or don’t look the way you want them to.
One of the main reasons people choose Dr. Lapuerta as their surgeon is because he’s had over 30 years of experience. He has performed more than 30,000 surgeries, many of them involving the breasts. As a triple-board-certified surgeon, he stays current on the latest trends in breast surgery and the newest techniques to provide the best care for his patients.
Dr. Lapuerta’s kind and compassionate nature is another reason patients choose him and the Plastic Surgery Institute of Southeast Texas. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions so you can feel confident about moving forward with the procedure. He also knows that plastic surgery can affect the way you feel as well as your appearance. Because he has surgical privileges at the local clinics and hospitals, he can provide quality services close to home.
If you want to find out more about breast revision in Richmond, TX, you can schedule a free consultation with Dr. Leo Lapuerta. He can talk to you about your options, whether that’s replacing the implants or removing them. He’ll help you know what to expect during and after the surgery, so contact the office for your appointment.
