“Be Prepared to Have Them Redone and Redone Again... I Just Had Them Done for the 4th Time in 30 Years - Expensive!”

Any patient who is contemplating breast surgery should have some important facts addressed before they make their final decision. Yours is one that I address on the initial visit. "If you have a breast implant surgery, you are essentially guaranteed another operation related to your breast within you lifetime" This may be due to many different factors and conditions. A common scenario would be a ruptured implant. Other causes such as in your instance is capsular contracture, changes can also me related switch in size or material (saline vs. silicone). There are other reasons for a revision. The bottom line is that once you have had breast implants you will need another breast surgery in the future. Just an F.Y.I., I hear many questions about removal and replacing implants every 10 years. I don't feel like anything should be done if it is not broken.
