Breast enlargement in Los Angeles is a common surgical option for women. With breast augmentation procedures ranking as one of the most popular surgical procedures available, it is inevitable that there are instances where correction is necessary. Breast revision is different for each patient, depending on her concerns. Below are a few common reasons why women may require or want a breast revision:

1. Unhappy with the results

In some cases, a woman may not be pleased with the outcome of her breast enhancement. In such situations, different implants may need to be used. These reasons are cosmetic.

2. Implant Deflation or Rupture

Implant deflation or rupture is not entirely common; however, for a small amount of women, this does occur. It is important to follow your surgeon’s advice after surgery to prevent such issues.

3. Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture occurs when the tissue that naturally forms around the breast implant begins to tighten and constrict the implant. This creates a hardened breast that feels and looks unnatural.

As stated earlier, following your surgeon’s advice after your procedure will help prevent the need for breast revision. If you do need to have breast revision surgery, the best thing to do is to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience performing this procedure.
