Motiva Breast Revision Surgery, When to Replace Textured Implants?
Hello, this is Melon Plastic Surgery.
Today, we'd like to talk about breast revision surgery!
The best way to overcome the disappointment of a first surgery is to achieve a more perfect revision, wouldn't you agree?!
Because it must be the last, breast revision surgery allows no room for error. With precise capsulectomy and pocket creation techniques, we eliminate all concerns from your first surgery, from dissatisfaction with feel and shape to capsular contracture.
Dr. Kim Ju-won began her career in breast augmentation as a specialist in breast reconstruction at a university hospital.
She possesses exceptional revision surgery expertise, meticulously and delicately examining every aspect of breasts requiring revision, from common to rare cases, based on her extensive experience.
Types of Breasts Requiring Revision Surgery
case 1. Capsular Contracture
The implant and capsule from the first surgery are completely removed, or the thickened capsule is thinned, then replaced with an implant suitable for revision surgery. If the shape is unsatisfactory, the breast pocket is reconstructed through precise dissection to effectively improve feel and shape.
case 2. Breast Ptosis (Sagging)
The sagging inframammary fold line is fixed, and the upper part of the breast is precisely dissected. The breast pocket is reconstructed to re-establish breast shape and correct asymmetry.
case 3. Upper Pole Fullness
The implant and thickened capsule from the first surgery are removed. The breast pocket in the lower part of the breast is widened to reveal the overall breast shape, feel, and contour.
case 4. Close Cleavage
Through precise dissection using an endoscope, the space in the breast pocket on the outer side of the breast is widened to change the implant's position. Revision surgery is decided considering the balance of the upper body, breast volume, shape, and symmetry.
case 5. Wide Cleavage
Through precise dissection using an endoscope, the breast pocket on the inner side of the breast is widened, and the outer breast line is fixed to change the implant's position. A natural cleavage is achieved by considering the balance of the upper body, breast volume, shape, and symmetry.
