Breast Revision in Richmond, TX

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.
