More and more women are headed to the plastic surgeon these days for larger, more attractive cleavage. This is a very popular and safe procedure and leaves many are feeling happier and more confident with their appearance. Yet some are not satisfied with the results of their surgery. In some cases women even want a breast reduction. Here is where a revision surgery would come in to play.
De-Augmentation?
It does happen that some choose larger implant sizes than what they actually wanted and will go back into their surgeon to either have them removed or replaced with smaller implants. They may not have realized just how big certain sizes would look on them or they may not have fully comprehended the extra weight and strain that very large boobs can place on the back muscles. Either way, these women are interested in a reduction.
A typical reduction is usually unconnected with implants. These are generally requested by naturally large chested women who want to remove excess tissue and skin to create more proportionate profiles and alleviate back pain. In this procedure, incisions can be placed in any number of areas, but one of the most common methods is to make an incision around the areola and down the breast, ending under the crease, forming an anchor shape.
Extra tissue is removed as it excess skin, after which the areola is repositioned for a natural look and the incisions are closed. Although this is what most people think of as breast reduction, revision surgeries after breast augmentation can also be a form of reduction.
In these revision procedures, a small incision is made and if the woman has saline implants, some of the fluid from them can be drained to decrease the size of the boobs. This will usually result in more natural looking ones, with the skin sitting much more comfortably over the implants.
If the original implants were of silicone, they will need to be removed altogether so that a smaller sized silicone implant can be inserted. In most cases, the skin has not been stretched large enough or long enough to warrant the removal of excess skin, but the plastic surgeon will certainly help patients determine if this is an issue. The small incisions are closed up and the healing process is typically much easier this second time around.
It may be necessary to reduce after a breast augmentation if the final results are unacceptable to the patient. But in many cases, these revision surgeries are easier and shorter and can produce the originally desired look and feel of a enhancement.
