Corrective Breast Surgery

Women have corrective breast surgery at Houston Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Webster, TX, to improve the disappointing results of breast augmentation procedures performed elsewhere. Revision breast surgery is more complicated than primary breast augmentation procedures and requires a plastic surgeon who has extensive experience and expertise, such as the surgeons on our team.

The surgery may include replacing breast implants, revising the pocket that the implant sits within, removing excess skin or fat, excising hardened areas, repositioning nipples, revising scars, or a combination of several of these methods. Men also seek out surgery for enlarged breast tissue (gynecomastia) and are frequently dissatisfied with the result. This is usually because there is either too much tissue removed or not enough. Our surgeons have experience with these revisions as well.

Women are sometimes concerned that revision surgery may not completely “fix” their cosmetic concerns. We have many years of experience and advanced training to deal with the issues that arise when revising a prior breast augmentation, breast lift, or other breast surgery.

Corrective Breast Surgery Process

The exact process of revision breast surgery, after-surgery care, and recovery are specific to each patient. Generally, revision surgeries are outpatient procedures lasting from one to three hours under general anesthesia, with the expectation of some discomfort and swelling that follow any surgical procedure. Patients are encouraged to have a responsible adult drive them home after the procedure and provide 24 hours or so of in-home care. The schedule for resumption of normal activities and the risk profile are similar to other breast enhancement procedures with variations to suit each patient’s situation.

Those who are interested in corrective breast surgery may also be interested in corrective torso procedures or a breast reduction. To learn how our plastic surgeons can help you, request a consultation or call (281) 282-9555 to schedule your visit and learn more about this procedure.
