What is Breast Revision Surgery?

Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, often resulting in beautiful, natural-looking outcomes. However, some patients may be unhappy with the appearance of their breasts and seek breast revision surgery to replace implants, change their size, or remove them without replacement.

Although most breast augmentations have successful results, certain women develop complications or aesthetic concerns that prompt them to request implant correction or removal. Conditions such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, implant rippling, or symmastia may require revision. Dr. Miguel Gallegos, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Albuquerque, NM, offers expert breast revision surgery following a thorough evaluation at Hermosa Plastic Surgery.
