Fix a Botched Boob Job with Breast Revision

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons understands that some patients may need a breast revision. There are many reasons for having this corrective procedure. You may not be happy with your implants anymore. Your implants may be causing pain already. It is a good thing your doctor can fix the results. If you want to fix a botched boob job with a breast revision, here’s what you should know.
 

Repairing Failed or Unsatisfactory Breast Implants

Failed breast reconstructions come from a botched breast procedure. Some women experience problems with them over time. The results may not be the way you expected at all. You will need to talk to your doctor about the problems you have with your breast implants.


Pain and deformities can impact your daily activities. They can also affect your self-esteem. Repairing the failed implants right away can help prevent serious health issues like infections. It can also bring back your productivity and fulfillment in your daily activities.
 

Breast Implant Illness

This is a collection of systemic symptoms related to having breast implants. Skin rashes, fatigue, lack of focus, joint pain, and memory loss are symptoms you should watch out for. Seeing your doctor right away can help determine if your implants are causing these problems. If they are, your doctor can help end these symptoms by removing the implants.


Calling your doctor about any changes to your breasts after your procedure is important. Regular checkups and screenings can detect the problem in the implant site. There could be brewing complications to the procedure. Your doctor can help resolve them right away.
 

Fat Transfer

Your implants could be causing discomfort or pain whenever you move. Your doctor can correct this by using your body’s tissue to provide a more comfortable and natural breast enhancement. This can eliminate your breast pain and enhance your general appearance. It can also increase your confidence during moments of intimacy.


This type of breast revision is called fat transfer augmentation. You will need liposuction first to break down and take out the fat deposits in another area of your body. Then, the doctor will inject the processed fat into your breast tissue. You can be a good candidate for this type of breast revision if you:
 

• Have asymmetrical breasts.

• Have sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

• Are free of any serious medical condition.

• Are in good mental health.

• Have realistic expectations.

• Have excessive amounts of fat in your body (thighs, abdomen, arms, chest wall, or back).

• Have unnatural movement in your breast.

The Goal

The main goal of correcting a botched breast augmentation is to improve the feel and look of your breasts. The movement of the augmented breasts can cause pain and deformities, especially with certain physical activities. Breast revision surgery is a custom-fit procedure. Its aim is to correct the situation based on your goals and anatomy. It may include fat grafting, breast lifting, and implant removal. This corrective surgery can also change the position of the implant or reshape the pocket that holds the breast implant.


A botched breast augmentation can be devastating. Catching it early and having breast revision can help improve the feel and appearance of your breasts. At Gupta Plastic Surgery, we make sure we help our patients achieve their aesthetic goals with our safe and proven techniques.
