Complex Breast Revision in Beverly Hills, CA

Breast revision is a cosmetic surgical procedure to correct previous surgery results or multiple surgeries. These are often complex breast revision cases because there is complex internal healing, or the implants may need to come out and allow the patient to go implant-free. In addition, the patient may be dealing with textural changes in the skin, have concerns with the location of the nipple or the shape of the breast, in general.

Dr. Gould is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, CA. When he takes on a complex breast surgery case, he wants his patients to know that this is likely their last surgery. Learn more about a Beverly Hills breast revision surgery by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Gould today.

Am I a good candidate for breast revision?

It is important to discuss your concerns with your physician and understand your expectations because complex breast surgery is not a traditional procedure like breast augmentation. However, you don’t have to be unhappy with your current breast implants; often, the patient’s results change or their body changes, and now a revision is necessary. You are an ideal candidate for complex breast revision if:

You want your breasts lifted.
You want your implants removed.
You want lower maintenance breasts for your breasts in the future.
You have had previous breast implants and are unhappy with the results.
You want to replace the volume in your breasts with fat from your own body (fat transfer breast augmentation).

In addition, for women who may be older and want a lifestyle change that gives them a surgical intervention and enables them to live a lifestyle that is more in line with how they live now, a breast revision is an excellent choice. Other patients may want to maintain implants but choose to downsize or change the type of implant to fit their bodies better.

Changing breast size or implant placement

Dr. Gould may need to manipulate the space inside the breast tissue to fit your new implant or place a surgical mesh to add additional support within your breast pocket.

Capsular Contracture

Scar tissue (capsule) that forms around implants becomes painful. In this case, Dr. Gould performs a capsulectomy and removes the firm capsule before inserting your new implant.

Breast Lift

When a mastopexy is needed as part of your breast revision, new incisions are required depending on the amount of lift necessary to position the breasts back to a more youthful position.

Breast Revision Recovery & Results

Once your breast revision is completed, Dr. Gould will bandage your incisions and place you in a compression bra. You will spend the first night in an aftercare facility to ensure your safe recovery. Your next day includes a visit to a hyperbaric chamber which infuses your tissues and cells with oxygen and speeds up healing. The oxygen treatment can also help you feel more alert and get rid of the leftover brain fog from the anesthesia.

You can expect seven to ten days of downtime and will need to avoid lifting your arms and heavy objects. However, light exercise is encouraged, such as walking, because it helps circulation and decreases swelling. For breast revision Beverly Hills patients will see results immediately, but you should wait about three months after your surgery to see your final results. It takes up to a year for your incision scars to fade.

Breast Revision Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the size of my implants during my breast revision?

Dr. Gould will discuss your options during your consultation and determine what is suitable for your body and surgery.

Will my incisions be in the same place?

Once Dr. Gould assesses the needs for your breast revision, he will determine the placement of your incisions. It is unlikely they can be placed in the same area because of scar tissue. However, Dr. Gould is a highly skilled surgeon and can place incisions in inconspicuous areas with minimal scarring.

How much does it cost?

Breast Revision surgery differs for each patient because the complexities of the revision will vary. After a thorough evaluation and consultation, Dr. Gould will customize your treatment plan, and his patient coordinator will discuss the cost of your procedure.

Does my insurance cover it?

It is crucial to discuss your coverage options with your insurance provider. Typically, Breast Revision surgery is considered an elective procedure and not covered by medical insurance. However, Dr. Gould offers payment and financing options for your convenience.
