Breast Revision in Rockford, IL

What Is Breast Revision Surgery?

If you are unhappy with the results of your original breast augmentation or are seeking to “update” those results years after your original procedure, breast revision surgery performed by Pryor Health can help you to achieve plump, natural-looking breasts. Breast revision surgery often involves removing implants from previous breast augmentation procedures and replacing them with newer implants, allowing for the correction of defects in the original procedure.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BREAST REVISION?

Breast revision surgery may be performed to correct deficiencies caused by previous breast augmentation, reduction, lift, or reconstruction procedures including:

• Reposition breast implants
• Improve upon the results from previous breast augmentation

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY LIKE FOLLOWING BREAST REVISION?

You will experience swelling and bruising in your breasts and surrounding tissue following breast revision surgery. We will provide you with pain medication in order to allow you to recover in comfort.

You will be wearing a compression garment following breast revision surgery to minimize swelling and allow your breasts to settle as they should. You should refrain from strenuous activity and any motion that requires you to lift your arms over your head for at least two weeks following your procedure. Swelling will continue to go down from your breasts in the weeks and months following breast revision surgery, with final results visible approximately three months following the procedure.
