Breast reconstruction surgery is performed to restore the fullness and natural contours of your breast after a mastectomy, but sometimes the surgery doesn’t quite give you the appearance you want. You can choose to have minimally invasive revision surgery to restore the appearance of your breasts. The doctors at Constructive Plastic Surgery in Garden City, New York offer minimally invasive revision surgery to help you look your best.
Minimally invasive revision surgery is a great option if you’ve been told you are not a good candidate for a breast reconstruction. Revision surgery can help restore the natural appearance of your breast if a full reconstruction is not an option for you.
There are many ways minimally invasive revision surgery can benefit you, and one of them is to help with pain you may be experiencing from previous surgical treatment. Revision surgery can help patients deal with the pain from previous flap reconstruction surgery. Minimally invasive revision surgery can also help with deformities associated with previous breast surgery.
One method of revision surgery is to use liposuction to gather fat and transfer the fat to the breast area, rebuilding tissue against the chest wall. In this way, small indented areas can be filled in with fat, and breast symmetry can be restored. This technique is also a good option to restore a natural look to your breasts if you have had a lumpectomy.
Another common type of minimally invasive revision surgery is to do an implant exchange to remove textured implants and replace them with smooth implants. This procedure can be performed to reduce the risk of lymphoma associated with textured silicone implants.
The goal of minimally invasive revision surgery is to reduce recovery time and lessen the side effects of surgery by making it as minimally invasive as possible. This is especially important if you have already experienced considerable discomfort and downtime from previous surgeries.
