Top Reasons for Choosing Breast Revision with Mastopexy

Many women who have undergone breast augmentation find that, over time, they want to make adjustments — whether due to lifestyle changes, shifting aesthetic goals, or personal comfort. For those considering enhancing their breast shape or restoring natural contours after previous augmentation, breast revision with mastopexy can offer an ideal solution. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Childers of Riverside Plastic Surgery in Riverside, CA, brings extensive experience and knowledge to this transformative approach, combining breast revision with a breast lift for optimal results.

What is breast revision surgery?

Breast revision surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at addressing the unique needs of women who have previously undergone breast augmentation. This surgery is often performed to replace or remove breast implants, correct aesthetic or structural issues, or adapt to a patient's evolving preferences. Choosing breast revision allows patients to adjust the size, shape, or placement of implants, as well as resolve complications that may have occurred since the initial surgery. For many, this opportunity to refine and rejuvenate can feel empowering.

What is breast revision with mastopexy?

When paired with mastopexy — a breast lift procedure — breast revision surgery offers a comprehensive approach to reshaping and enhancing the breasts. The mastopexy component lifts the breast tissue, addressing sagging and improving contour, while the revision surgery focuses on the implants. Whether adjusting implant size, swapping out older implants for newer options, or opting for a more natural look without implants, this combination creates a firmer, more youthful appearance. Dr. Childers may recommend this approach to help patients achieve a balanced, natural result.

Top reasons to consider breast revision with mastopexy

1. Personalized aesthetic goals

Over time, personal tastes and lifestyle priorities may change. Some women find that the look they initially chose no longer aligns with their current preferences. Breast revision with mastopexy provides a tailored approach to help achieve new aesthetic goals, whether that means a subtle lift, a smaller implant, or breast implant removal or replacement.

2. Enhanced breast shape and contour

One of the main reasons women choose breast revision with mastopexy is to improve breast shape. Even with implants, breasts can lose volume and elasticity over time, leading to a sagging or an unbalanced look. By combining breast revision with a breast lift (mastopexy), Dr. Childers can restore youthful contours and a symmetrical appearance. This dual approach addresses both the internal structure and outer appearance, creating a well-rounded result.

3. Correct complications with breast implant removal or replacement

With breast implants, there is the possibility of complications, such as capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant), implant rippling, or implant rupture. Breast implant replacement or removal, combined with mastopexy, allows patients to correct these issues while simultaneously enhancing the overall look and feel of their breasts. Dr. Childers works closely with patients to develop a treatment plan that resolves these complications while addressing their aesthetic goals.

4. Updated breast implants

Breast implant technology has evolved, offering a wider variety of options for patients today. With breast revision surgery in Riverside, CA, patients can benefit from improved materials and innovative designs, including softer gel implants and more natural-feeling options. Those looking to switch to a more contemporary implant style or try newer silicone options can experience increased comfort and an updated aesthetic that better aligns with their lifestyle.

5. Enhanced confidence and comfort

For many, the decision to undergo breast revision with mastopexy comes down to a desire for confidence and comfort. Whether addressing concerns related to aging, physical activity, or simply wanting a more natural look, this procedure can provide a renewed sense of satisfaction. Dr. Childers and the Riverside Plastic Surgery team prioritize patient comfort and confidence, working to achieve results that feel both natural and empowering.
