what is Breast revision with Mastopexy?
Some women, who have undergone breast augmentation surgery, may have to consider breast revision surgery later on down the road. With this procedure, the breast implants are removed and/or replaced due to a number of factors. There are also times when a woman needs to address her sagging breasts along with revision surgery, which is accomplished with a breast revision with mastopexy (lift) surgery. Inland Empire board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Childers, will remove or replace the implants, trim away extraneous skin and lift the breasts higher onto the chest wall for a more natural, perkier look. After the surgery, the patient will look better and feel more confident in her appearance.
how does Breast revision with Mastopexy work?
The patient will be under general anesthesia during this outpatient procedure, which will be performed at an accredited surgical facility. The plastic surgeon will make an incision to remove the current implant and place an implant sizer. The surgeon will assess the breast implant pocket and correct issues as needed, such as releasing scar tissue, tightening the pocket, correcting cleavage, and fixing symmetrical issues. The implant sizer is placed in the most appropriate location on the chest, usually under the chest muscle. The sizers are filled until the desired volume is reached.
The doctor will then move to the breast lift portion of the surgery. An incision will be made, usually around the areola to the breast crease. The breast is then reshaped. The doctor will then assess the breasts’ symmetry, shape, and position in order to place the new breast implants. The breast implant sizers are removed and the new implants are placed. If a patient decided beforehand not to get new implants, none will be implanted. The incisions will be stitched and surgical tape will be placed over incisions.
what to expect after Breast revision with Mastopexy
After the surgery, a surgical bra and compression wrap will be placed on the patient to decrease bruising and swelling. Most patients can return home the same day. Patients commonly experience pain and discomfort which can be alleviated with pain medication. Dressings should be left on until the next-day follow-up appointment. Most stitches are dissolvable and surgical tape should be left on for a week or so. Due to swelling, your breasts may appear overly large for the first couple of weeks, but this will subside. Most patients can return to work within a few days. In about 6 months, patients will be able to fully realize the effects of the surgery with better shaped and positioned breasts.

Well I just want to say that Dr Childers is not just amazing at his work but takes his time discussing your needs. He did a mini facelift on me and a mini tummy tuck. Today is my second day postop and I’m doing better than what I thought. Im not in very much pain just a little uncomfortable. Dr Childers is a very sweet adorable doctor that me and my husband absolutely loved. He was very attentive, very informative and very comforting throughout the process. Not only is the doctor a very good doctor, but his staff is also very professional and very kind. Everyone at the office is sweet and caring. I will be recommending all my friends and family to Dr. Childers.Thank you Dr. Childers and staff 🙏💙💕Desiree Nunez

Am I A Candidate for Breast Revision w/Mastopexy?
If your breasts have changed over time, your implants no longer reflect your desired look, or you are experiencing sagging, asymmetry, or changes in breast shape, you may be a candidate for breast revision with mastopexy. This procedure is often considered by women who want to address concerns related to previous breast augmentation while also restoring a more lifted, balanced contour. At Riverside Plastic Surgery, Dr. Childers customizes each treatment plan based on your anatomy, goals, and the condition of your existing implants, which may involve implant replacement, implant removal, pocket correction, and lifting excess skin to create a more youthful appearance. A consultation can help determine whether breast implant revision, breast lift with implant revision, or another approach is the most effective way to achieve your desired results and improve overall breast symmetry and shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have scars after my breast revision surgery?
Scarring is a normal part of any surgical procedure, including breast revision with mastopexy. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable. Before you are discharged after your surgery, Dr. Childers will provide guidance on how to care for your incisions to support optimal healing.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants usually last about 10-15 years, and replacing them is a natural part of their lifecycle. During a breast revision with mastopexy, we can replace your implants to help you feel great about your look moving forward.
Will you relocate my nipple/areola?
Part of the mastopexy process often includes repositioning the nipple and areola to achieve a look that feels natural for you. This adjustment helps bring balance to your results so they align with your goals.
