Why consider breast revision:

Size: One of the most common reasons to consider breast revision is to adjust the size of the breasts, whether your primary breast augmentation is too small or too big.

Deflation or Leakage: It is possible for saline implants to deflate or silicone implants to develop a shell leak. Deflated or leaking implants should be replaced.

Scar tissue: Excessive scar tissue may cause the implants to feel hard or can cause discomfort. Scar tissue can be removed to make the breasts feel more natural.

Loose skin: Loose breast skin can cause the breasts to sag in appearance. A breast lift can help your breasts look more youthful.  

Visible or palpable rippling of the implant:  Women who notice rippling may elect to replace their implants with a more molecularity cohesive silicone gel implant.

Whatever the reason may be, schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. David Motoki to learn about your options and find out if breast revision surgery is right for you.
