Over time, complications can arise following cosmetic breast surgeries such as breast augmentation or reduction/uplift. These complications may include breast implant rupture or capsular contracture (hardening and tightening of the implant), which would require revision surgery to prevent further discomfort or harm. Additionally, changes in the cosmetic appearance of the breasts can occur due to factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. Revision surgery aims to address these issues, restoring or improving the breasts to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
 

Some patients may also have undergone cosmetic breast surgery and are unhappy with the initial results. This can happen for various reasons, and you may want to seek a second opinion from an expert surgeon like Dr. Mahmoud Abu Dakka to achieve the cosmetic result you desire.
 

The key to the success of revision surgery lies in the relationship between the patient and the surgeon. A clear understanding and agreement on the final desired look—considering shape, volume, and cleavage—is essential. Revisional procedures, especially those correcting previous unsatisfactory outcomes, require meticulous planning and clear communication. Dr. Mahmoud Abu Dakka will take the time to fully understand your concerns, areas of dissatisfaction, and will be transparent about what can realistically be achieved through revision surgery, including any limitations.

Most revision surgeries are performed as day-case procedures, meaning you can go home the same day.

BREAST IMPLANT REMOVAL
 

If you have previously had breast implants to enhance the size of your breasts, but you have now decided you don't want them anymore, they can be surgically removed. There may also be medical reasons why a breast augmentation needs to be reversed, or you might just want to change the size, shape or feel of your breasts. If so then new different sized implants can be inserted following removal of your original implants.
