What Is A Breast Re-Augmentation?
The goal of breast re-augmentation is to address concerns from a previous breast augmentation. Some patients may need to replace older implants while others may be concerned about the implant positioning, sagging breast tissue (ptosis), implant rupture, and/or capsular contracture. Some patients opt to do a breast re-augmentation surgery because they want a different size implant. our surgeons will address the patient’s needs during the consultation.
The Aesthetica Difference
At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, our surgeons bring a combined 28 years of experience and have performed thousands of breast re-augmentation procedures. Their depth of expertise has established them as some of the most experienced and sought-after breast revision specialists in Utah. Breast re-augmentation can be highly complex, but their extensive experience with challenging implant revision cases allows them to offer advanced, customized solutions. These may include reconstruction using supportive acellular matrices such as GalaFLEX, OviTex, and Strattice, which help reinforce tissue and maintain proper implant positioning. We also provide a variety of silicone implant options, including highly cohesive "gummy bear" implants, to help patients achieve their desired aesthetic outcomes.
Journey To Confidence
At your consultation, you will be able to discuss questions and voice what you would like changed through surgery. Dr Crofts will discuss the details of the procedure and create a surgical plan with you. Our office staff will provide you with a surgery quote and work with you to schedule a surgery date.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions.
Your surgery will take place at an accredited facility. This is generally a 3 to 4 hour procedure and you will be released home on the same day.
Generally, you will be seen 1 to 3 days after surgery and again 4 to 5 days later. Further post operative appointments will continue and be dependent upon your recovery.
Recovery for breast re-augmentation ranges from 2 weeks to 8 weeks depending on what needs to be done. At Aesthetica, post operative care and safety is our number one priority. Patients are seen frequently after their procedure to assure healing and recovery is on track. Patients also have 24 hour access to an on-call nurse for emergencies.
Feel the results, see the difference, and enjoy the confidence.
