Breast Augmentation Revision - Santa Monica, CA

Breast implant Revision can often be difficult for women who are not initially pleased with the shape or contour of the breasts after breast implants or implant mastopexy. The common problems include visibility of the implant shell, poor aesthetic contour, a mishapen breast, recurrent droopiness, capsular contracture, or poor scarring. In my practice in Santa Monica, I feel that breast implant revision should be approached from ground up, by reassessing the entire breast complex and determining which of the problems are contributing to the ultimate cosmetic appearance of the breast. These attributes include the type of implant, the position of the implant, the current status of the implant, the soft tissue, the position of the nipple and areola, the type of scar, and the existence of current or previous capsular contracture.
