Breast Revision in Manvel, TX

Breast revision is a surgery that can be performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. This procedure begins with a consultation to determine the specifics of the surgery, such as where the incisions will be located and whether new implants will be inserted.

The surgery itself will take around one to two hours, depending on the work that needs to be done. After you awake from the surgery, you’ll be allowed to go home with someone to drive you and take care of you for the first few days. You can expect to see some swelling along with bruising. You may be instructed to wear compression garments to help reduce the swelling, which you can expect to clear up in a few weeks. You’ll also be restricted on how much you can lift or bend as the incisions heal.

Breast revision surgery can take care of several issues that you may experience with implants. During this procedure, the surgeon can break up any scar tissue that has formed around the implants. Capsular contracture, which is the official name of the condition, can be painful if not treated. The surgery can also take care of issues with deflated or rippled implants, those that have moved out of position, or implants that are at the end of their usefulness.

You may also enjoy the benefit of breast revision if you want to get rid of the implants and go back to your natural size. An alternative is to change the shape or size of the new implants.

Another reason to choose breast revision in Manvel is that you don’t have as much traveling to do for surgery or follow-up appointments.
