Breast Revisions and Re-Do's

Breast Augmentation Revisions and Re-Dos

Implants are not permanent devices and may need to be replaced in a relatively minor procedure. Implants have an average lifespan of 10 years. At the time of replacement, many women choose to make changes such as size, implant type (saline or silicone), or combine the implant with a lift. A secondary procedure is the perfect time to make any wanted changes.

Additionally, there may be problems with your breast augmentation that need to be fixed by an experienced cosmetic breast surgeon. These problems may include but are not limited to asymmetry, breast fold malposition, capsular contracture, implant malposition, and problems with breast shape, size, or symmetry. As one of the nation's leading cosmetic breast surgeons, Dr. Burns dedicates about one-third of his cosmetic breast practice to revisions and corrections.

Dr. Burns is one of the nation's leading breast augmentation surgeons. Dr. Burns practices a Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation Protocol designed to limit recovery time and optimize the result. Most patients can return to work in a few days and resume light exercise in a week.

For most cases, Dr. Burns recommends Natrelle Breast Implants from Allergan. Dr. Burns participates in the Allergan Brillian Distinctions Program where you will receive discounts on all Allergan products such as Botox, Juvederm, Voluma, Vollure, Vobella, Kybella, Botox, Natrelle Breast Implants, Latisse, and Skin Medica skin care products. With your Allergan implant purchase you and a friend will receive a complementary Botox treatment through the Brilliant Distinctions program.

3D Photographic Simulations by Crisalix

Dr. Burns uses Crisalix 3D photographic imaging to simulate your breast augmentation result before your procedure so you can be sure you are choosing the perfect size. Complementary 3D imaging is included with your complementary consultation. The technology allows you to control for implant size (volume), implant shape (round or anatomic), and profile (implant projection). The results can be sent to your email after the consultation to help you choose the perfect implant before the procedure.

Online Consultation with 3D Simulation by Crisalix

Alternatively, Dr. Burns can do the 3D photographic simulations via an online consultation. This simple consultation can be done by submitting basic information and 3 photographs via our HIPPA compliant online consultation form.

Dr. Burns will generate 3D images and answer any questions about the procedure that you have. This option is ideal for patients who are out of town or prefer the privacy on an online consultation.
