When is the Right Time for Breast Implant Revision?

💡When is the right time to fix your breast implants⁉️ I like to think about breast revision surgery as a risk benefit analysis👨🏻‍🏫. I look at the benefits of the surgery and then the potential drawbacks of surgery. This is different for every patient. First step, however, is to determine if you need surgery. There are five things that need surgery to fix: 1. The implant is broken 2. Implant is contaminated by bacteria or infected 3. The implant is encased in abnormally thick scar tissue (capsular contracture) AND is causing pain 4. Very rare types of cancer 5. Breast implant illness Other issues are typically cosmetic in nature (i.e. implant size, nipple position, rippling, implant position, etc.). Now for the drawbacks…I cover these in the three C’s: 1. Cost - Both financial cost and the time spent in recovery 2. Consequences - This one is best explained with an example. Let’s say we are thinking about removing the implants and not replacing them. The consequence is potentially a lack of upper pole fullness and / or drooping of the breast 3. Complications - Any revision surgery has a higher risk of complications like infection and wound healing issues. Typically after I talk through this risk benefit analysis with my patients it is often easy for them to decide the right next step for themselves 🤔 What do you think?
