At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we believe in the importance of open communication.

Before undergoing surgery, we are dedicated to making sure that our patients are aware of the risks and anticipated results.

Breast revision surgery can significantly improve breast aesthetics, restore symmetry, and address complications from previous procedures.

Our team guides patients through three distinct phases of recovery:

• Immediate Recovery (0-3 Weeks): Immediately following your procedure you may experience discomfort, including pain, swelling, and bruising. Our skilled medical team will provide you with prescribed pain medications and anti-inflammatories to manage these symptoms and will advise you on activities to avoid preventing complications.
• Intermediate Recovery (4-6 Weeks): With our comprehensive post-operative care, most patients can expect to return to work around one week after surgery, only after their job is not physically demanding. During this period, pain gradually lessens, and patients can begin to resume light activities.
• Long-Term Recovery (6 Weeks – Several Months): If your job or activities are physically demanding, A lengthier healing period of more than 4 weeks is what we advise. During this time, the implants settle into their new position, and scars begin to fade. You can anticipate seeing the outcome of your breast implant revision within three to six months after the procedure is performed at our medical spa.

Our team stresses the importance of following post-operative care instructions to influence your recovery timeline positively. This entails taking prescribed drugs, avoiding intense exercises or heavy lifting, and donning a surgical bra. Regular follow-up appointments with our spa are also crucial during the recovery period to monitor progress and to address any potential complications promptly.

We understand the importance of allowing your body to heal at its own pace and provide personalized advice for your recovery from breast implant revision surgery. Trust Shine Cosmetic Surgery for a comprehensive and caring approach to your recovery.

Breast revision surgeries are often necessary after initial breast augmentation surgeries to correct complications or alter the appearance or size of the breasts. The number of revisions a patient can safely undergo varies, with factors such as overall health, surgical technique, type of complication, surgeon’s skill, and the body’s healing abilities playing a crucial role.

Women who opt for breast implants should note that these may require revision surgery every 10 to 15 years due to the natural lifespan of the implants. But each additional surgery does come with an increased risk of complications, such as scar tissue formation, infection, breast feeling changes, as well as implant leakage or rupture.

The number of viable breast revisions depends on several factors, including scar tissue formation, implant stability, tissue quality, and patient satisfaction. We also emphasize the importance of a thorough consultation with our skilled surgeons to discuss potential risks and benefits before deciding on multiple revision surgeries. We believe in a collaborative approach, with the decision being made jointly by the patient and the surgeon, considering all relevant factors.

Several variables can affect the cost of this surgery, such as the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, anesthesia used, the complexity of the procedure, post-surgery care, and whether it’s covered by insurance.

• Anesthesia Fees: We work with anesthesiologists who are experienced in administering the type of anesthesia required for breast revision surgery.
• Procedure Complexity: The extent of the revision surgery needed, such as the amount of tissue removed or added, or if the surgery involves removing a ruptured breast implant, can significantly affect the cost. Our surgeon will discuss this with you in detail during your consultation.
• Post-Surgery Care: At Shine Cosmetic Surgery, we believe in comprehensive care, which includes follow-up appointments, medications, post-surgery garments, and other aftercare costs based on your specific needs.
• Insurance Coverage: Insurance may not cover breast revision surgery costs unless the surgery is deemed medically necessary. Our team can help you understand your coverage and explore your options.

The average cost of breast revision surgery in the United States ranges from $5,000 to $15,000. This is merely an average, though, and the real cost can vary based on your specific situation.
