Breast Enhancement/Augmentation/Implant Revision
Breast Augmentation can be a life changing procedure that creates a feeling and look for you that enhance self esteem and general well being. As time progresses, changes may occur in breast size and appearance due to weight fluctuation, the normal aging process, implant deflation or leakage, pregnancy and breast feeding.

Sometimes, breast implant surgery does not produce the appearance desired, or scar tissue may develop around breast implants (capsular contracture), and the implant position may shift over time. Malposition, asymmetry, bottoming out, implant rippling, symmastia or double bubble may have occurred as time has passed.

-
Correction by removal of older implants which may have deflated or degraded and replacement with new implants using newer generation silicone or saline breast implants with further.

-
Revising the internal scar (capsule) around the implants or removing the capsule completely.

-
