It is very common for patients to want to alter or upgrade their breast implants following a previous augmentation procedure. Many individuals choose to do so for aesthetic reasons, while others prioritize health. If you wish to have your implants replaced, enhanced, or adjusted, our breast revision surgery in Vancouver may be ideal for you.
This specialist procedure, offered by Dr. Aghayan at Après Plastic Surgery, allows you to continue enjoying the look of your implants for years to come. Breast revision surgery may also be necessary if you experience discomfort with your breast implant or if you have developed any conditions that require you to adjust or replace your implant. At your appointment with our plastic surgeon, you will learn whether revision surgery is right for you.
The first stage of your procedure is an initial consultation with Dr. Aric Aghayan at our Vancouver office, where he will review your medical history to determine your suitability for a follow-up breast procedure. During your personalized, one-on-one consultation, Dr. Aghayan will also develop a customized surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals. This is an opportunity to review the surgical procedure in detail and address any questions or concerns.
An important discussion point will be why you are pursuing this surgery. Many patients opt for this procedure to change their implant size. Perhaps the implants are too large and cause back or body pain. Often, patients wish to enhance the appearance of their implants, whether to increase size or improve symmetry. Whatever your reason, Dr. Aghayan can help.
To support a safe procedure and smooth recovery, Dr. Aghayan may ask you to temporarily stop smoking, consuming alcohol, using recreational drugs, and taking certain medications such as blood thinners, while maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle. You will receive tailored pre- and post-operative guidance to help ensure a comfortable experience and optimal results.
During your Vancouver breast implant replacement surgery, Dr. Aghayan will refine the position or shape of your existing implant pocket to address issues such as asymmetry, capsular tightening, or changes in breast contour. This may include adjusting the implant placement (above or below the pectoralis major muscle), reshaping your surrounding breast tissue, or revising your incision to improve overall balance and appearance.
Although the surgery takes just a few hours, we strongly recommend taking the entire day off from work to allow adequate time for recovery and observation. For your safety, arrange for a trusted friend or family member to drive you home after the procedure, as the effects of anesthesia may temporarily impair your ability to drive.
Dr. Aghayan’s focus is on ensuring you have a positive post-operative recovery experience after your Vancouver mammoplasty update. In addition to the guidelines he provides to facilitate your recovery at home, he may also recommend additional therapies at his office, including lymphatic therapy and red light therapy.
At home, your main focus will be to enjoy complete rest. During this period, you should not engage in any strenuous exercise, and you should avoid going to the gym. The key is to limit any movement that exerts your arms or chest muscles so the treatment area can recover effectively. We will also schedule additional consultations as needed to monitor your recovery.
Après Plastic Surgery may be the right choice for your breast revision surgery in Vancouver if you wish to remove, replace, or correct the position of an existing breast implant, whether for medical or cosmetic reasons.
