Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery

Breast augmentation and implant surgery has been around for a very long time. Women have been successfully transforming their bodies for decades now with revolutionary methods and techniques that have become safer and more natural over time. What most women don't know is that breast implants do not last forever. 

The FDA has discussed the health and safety of both saline and silicone implants and have published that they are safe to use in the plastic surgery field, but they do warn women that they have a lifespan. If you do not opt for a breast augmentation revision surgery, old implants can affect the health of your body if they wear down. There is potential for the solution to leak into your body or for the materials to break down and flow into your bloodstream. Although the FDA currently approves every breast implant out there, all of them require updating.

Just like normal breasts, implants do wear over time. They are subject to the same gravitational pull from the earth as natural breasts. They are susceptible to your lifestyle choices, like strenuous exercise. Some women may even bear children after they've had breast augmentation surgery. Revision surgery is not only necessary to maintain the health of your body, but chances are your body is ready for the revision as well.

Because breast implants have been around for a long time, there are plastic surgeons that not only perform new implant surgeries for women but can also take special care to revise a woman's previous breast augmentation surgery. When you meet with a plastic surgeon, they can update you on how things have changed and what new products are available in the industry. 

Chances are your surgery will be shorter, less invasive, and have a short recovery time because of recent advances in the field. You may even choose a different implant type. There are also fat transfer augmentations that will solve the problem for having to go in for another revision surgery down the line. If you are an older woman who no longer particularly cares to maintain a youthful figure and are comfortable simply removing the implants, that is also an option.

The benefits to having revision surgery seven to ten years after breast augmentation surgery are both medical and aesthetic. You will be able to update your augmentation by implanting new materials that are more advanced than your original, you will avoid the risk of aging implants and the potential for health problems, and you will also be able to regain once again a perky youthfulness to your figure with a brand new surgery.
