One of the most performed operations in the field of aesthetic surgery is breast operations. In particular, breast augmentation surgery with silicone prosthesis is a very popular surgery. After this surgery, the prosthesis may need to be replaced or removed for various reasons. In such cases, breast prosthesis revision surgery should be performed.
Breast prosthesis revision is an operation performed in the field of plastic surgery. Within the scope of this operation, breast implant replacement or breast implant removal procedures are performed. Each of these processes is very sensitive and must be carried out with great care. Therefore, if you need breast prosthesis revision due to necessary conditions such as capsular contracture treatment, you should consult an experienced plastic surgeon. The situations that cause the need for a prosthesis revision operation for breast aesthetic revision can be discussed under several headings.
There are many situations that require breast prosthesis replacement. The first situation is the expiration of the prosthesis. Although many people think that breast prostheses can be used forever, this idea is actually a big mistake.
The lifespan of breast prostheses is 10-20 years, and when this period of use is exceeded, breast implant replacement should be done. In addition, conditions such as tears in the prosthesis and therefore leakage lead to the need to replace the defective prosthesis. Another situation that requires prosthesis replacement is that the prosthetic breast becomes sagging due to various reasons. In this case, it may be necessary to replace the prosthesis within the scope of breast sagging revision.
The last situation that requires breast prosthesis replacement is that the individual no longer wants to use the prosthesis in question. The upright, full and striking breast appearance obtained with breast prosthesis may not fit the aesthetic perception of the individual after a point, and the breast prosthesis can be replaced with a smaller prosthesis to achieve a more natural appearance of the individual. In addition, in some cases, individuals may request a replacement with a larger prosthesis for a more assertive appearance.
Capsular contracture is one of the important conditions that require breast prosthesis replacement. Capsular contracture, also known as capsular contracture, is the formation of a capsule in the breast tissue as a result of the body’s refusal to accept the breast prosthesis. This capsule is hard, painful and deformities. Within the scope of capsular contracture treatment, breast implant removal or replacement is very important and even necessary. One of the main reasons for the need for prosthesis revision, especially after masectomy, is the problem of capsular contracture.
How breast prosthesis revision surgery will be performed may vary depending on the reason for the surgery and the general health status of the patient. However, in general, breast prosthesis revision surgery is planned in such a way that procedures such as removing the old prosthesis, replacing it with a new prosthesis, and lifting or reducing it are performed.
The main purpose of breast prosthesis revision is usually to remove the old prosthesis and replace this prosthesis with a new one. During this procedure, it is necessary to act with great precision and not to cause problematic situations such as perforation of the prosthesis. When the old prosthesis is removed, an incision is made in the old incision sites that have usually healed, and the new prosthesis is placed under the breast tissue or chest muscle.
During breast prosthesis revision, lifting and reduction procedures can also be performed according to the situation and the patient’s demand. These procedures help the individual to achieve the desired appearance in addition to the replacement of the defective prosthesis. Especially in individuals who have breast sagging problems due to large prostheses and have revision surgery, aesthetically satisfactory results are obtained by replacing the breast prosthesis with a smaller prosthesis and applying procedures such as lifting.
Although breast implant revision may seem superficial and does not have much benefit, it is actually quite beneficial. Especially in problematic conditions such as capsular contracture, it may be very beneficial to choose breast prosthesis revision to protect the general health of the patient and increase the quality of life. In addition to all these, the benefits of breast aesthetic revision can be explained in more detail under a few headings.
One of the most important benefits of breast prosthesis revision is the improvement of aesthetic appearance. The most important benefit of breast prosthesis revision is the improvement effect obtained in aesthetic appearance, especially for people who are not satisfied with the appearance they have achieved after starting to use prostheses. Situations such as making changes with a smaller prosthesis performed in line with the wishes of the individual provide an appearance that will appeal more to the aesthetic perception of the individual.
The appearance obtained with breast prosthesis revision provides relief not only in terms of aesthetics but also in terms of comfort and psychology. People who get the desired breast appearance after breast prosthesis revision, the quality of breast prostheses is increased and they get rid of problems such as capsular contracture are psychologically relieved as they start to live a more comfortable life.
Breast prosthesis revision is a very sensitive surgical intervention. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to some things during the recovery process after this intervention. In particular, it is very important to take care of the area, to use special bras, to stay away from some things until full recovery is completed, and not to skip the doctor’s controls until the new form is formed.
Two important issues to be considered after procedures such as breast implant replacement within the scope of breast prosthesis revision are care and the use of special bras. Within the scope of care recommendations, dressing may be required for 10-12 days after breast revision. In addition, the use of a special bra may need to last for weeks or months, depending on the situation.
It is necessary not to be in a hurry to complete the full recovery after breast prosthesis revision and to reveal the new breast form. Breast prosthesis surgery, just like other aesthetic operations, can lead to the creation of incisions and partial destruction of the tissues in the area. All of these conditions require at least 2-3 days for the breast tissue to heal. Within 2-3 months, as the healing is completed and the edema decreases, a new breast form will begin to emerge.
The results of breast implant revision usually appear months after the surgery. During this process, it is very important not to disrupt the doctor’s controls and to act in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations. Long-term results can be obtained from breast implant revision thanks to positive behaviors such as taking into account the doctor’s recommendations and not interrupting the controls. For example, a patient who needs a defective prosthesis replacement in a short time due to situations such as disruption of doctor’s controls after having breast augmentation surgery for the first time can use the newly installed prostheses for many years by exhibiting the right behaviors after revision surgery.
How long breast prosthesis revision surgery will take varies according to the situation. In breast prosthesis revision operations, the main purpose of the operation varies according to the wishes and medical needs of the person. Therefore, for example, some patients only have breast implant removal, while some patients may have a new implant placement in addition to the removal of the implant. The average duration of breast prosthesis revision surgery is between 90 and 180 minutes.
How long the recovery will take after breast prosthesis revision is shaped according to the situation. For example, the healing process of individuals who already have problems in the breast tissue within the scope of capsular contracture treatment may be much longer than individuals who only benefit from breast implant removal and do not have any problems in the breast tissue. However, in general, the healing process after breast prosthesis revision takes an average of 4-6 weeks. In extreme cases, this average process can be extended up to 8-12 months.
Capsular contracture is a health problem that can occur after breast prosthesis insertion. Breast prosthesis is normally a foreign substance for the body, but many people’s bodies accept this implant. However, some people’s bodies may not accept breast implants. In these cases, with the activation of the immune system, an hardening condition called capsular contracture occurs in the breast tissue. Capsular contracture is usually treated by removing or replacing the breast implant.
In the revision of the breast prosthesis, of course, the old prosthesis can be removed and a new prosthesis can be inserted. However, this situation is shaped depending on the general health status, wishes and medical needs of the patient. For example, in individuals whose breast prosthesis is damaged and leaks or whose breast prosthesis has expired, the old prosthesis can be removed and a new prosthesis can be placed in its place, if the individual wants to continue using the prosthesis. Choices such as the material, shape and size of the new prosthesis depend on the aesthetic demands of the patient.
When it comes to breast prosthesis revision, one of the biggest concerns is whether breastfeeding function will be lost. This concern is a concern that is common in breast aesthetic operations, but in some cases it may be unwarranted. Just like in the first breast implant surgery, breastfeeding function can be preserved in breast implant revision surgery. However, in order to preserve the breastfeeding function after any aesthetic intervention, including breast prosthesis revision, it is necessary to intervene sensitively without damaging the milk ducts.
As with all kinds of medical interventions, breast revision prices are determined in line with more than one factor. The main factors that determine the price in breast prosthesis revision are; Which method is used among the methods such as defective prosthesis replacement, the quality of the prosthesis to be used, if any, the experience of the plastic surgeon who will perform the operation, the facilities of the health institution where the surgery will be performed and the aesthetic demands of the patient. Each of these factors is decisive for breast revision prices, and therefore it would not be correct to share a clear price information for breast prosthesis revision. If you want to learn a clear price information, you first need to meet with a plastic surgeon and plan the surgery by being examined.
