Breast Augmentation (Breast Implant) Revision Surgery San Francisco – Part 4

Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery, has become an important area of specialization in my Walnut Creek plastic surgery practice. As many as 25% of women undergoing breast augmentation, will require a second surgery in the ten years after surgery.

Breast augmentation revision surgery may be elective, and may be performed to increase or decrease the size of your breast implants. Increasing breast implant size is one of the most common, and simplest forms of breast implant revision.

Breast implant revision surgery may be needed to replace a deflated implant or to revise the scar around the implant (capsular contracture). The major US breast implant manufacturers offer lifetime replacement of their breast implants if a breast implant deflation occurs. They also provide financial support if the breast implant leaks occur within ten years of the primary breast augmentation.

You will find videos on breast augmentation and breast augmentation revision surgery posted on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog. They can be viewed here or on my YouTube channel. Please remember, the 800 number appearing on the video was only for the live show, to contact my office for additional information or to schedule a private consultation appointment, call (925) 943-6353.

This video comes from a segment of KRON’s Body Beautiful. You can hear:

  • What is Breast Augmentation Revision surgery?
  • Who needs Breast Implant Revision surgery?
  • Do your silicone breast implants or saline breast implants come with a warranty?
  • Is there an expiration date on my breast implants?
  • Before and after pictures of Breast Implant Deflation Replacement Surgery?
  • Can breast implant asymmetry be improved?
  • How does Capsular Contracture present?
  • Can breast surgery be performed for a diabetic (a person with diabetes)?

If you are considering Breast Implant Revision Surgery in the San Francisco Bay Area, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can help. This first step is a consultation appointment so that existing problems can be defined and achievable goals can be set.
