Frequently Asked Qestions
Breast surgery revision refers to a secondary procedure to correct or improve previous breast surgery results. This may involve removing or exchanging the breast implants, reshaping the breast tissue, or addressing complications that have arisen following the initial surgery.
The cost of breast revision surgery depends on the complexity of the revision, surgeon’s fees, facility costs, and anesthesia fees. If breast revision surgery is done for implant-related issues and falls under the manufacturer’s warranty, some costs are covered. However, due to the additional work required, breast revision surgery can sometimes be more expensive than the initial procedure.
Capsular contracture can range from asymptomatic (no pain) in Grade 1 to causing significant pain and discomfort (tenderness, soreness) in Grade 4. The answer explains the Baker grading system for capsular contracture in more detail, outlining the associated pain levels for each grade.
Signs that may indicate the need for a breast revision include changes in implant position, size, shape, or texture; asymmetry between the breasts; capsular contracture; implant rupture; or dissatisfaction with the results of a previous surgery.
The duration of a breast revision surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure. On average, breast revision surgery may take between 60 to 180 minutes to complete.
Insurance coverage for breast reconstruction revision may vary depending on the individual’s insurance plan, the reason for the revision, and whether it is considered medically necessary. Patients should check with their insurance provider.
