Why Do Women Undergo Revision Breast Surgery?
The most common reason for revision breast implant surgery is implant rupture or leakage. This may result from age, damage, or improper placement.
When scar tissue forms around the breast implant, it can cause it to harden, shrink or change shape. Capsular contracture may also cause discomfort or pain.
Some women may not be happy with the shape or size of their implants and choose to revise the surgery to achieve their desired look.
Significant weight loss or gain can alter the appearance of the breasts and lead to the need for revision surgery.
Breastfeeding or pregnancy can cause changes in the shape and size of the breast, making a revision surgery necessary to restore their pre-pregnancy appearance.
With aging, breast tissue naturally loses elasticity and volume. Revision surgery may be performed to improve the overall appearance of the breast as one gets older.
Sometimes implants can be placed too high, too low, or too far apart. Revision surgery can be performed to adjust their placement to improve their appearance and comfort.
Revision surgery can also be done to reduce the appearance of scarring from a previous surgery.
In rare cases, revision surgery may be necessary due to a medical condition such as infection or tissue necrosis.

Breast
Revision
Sometimes, women who have previously undergone breast surgery may find themselves dissatisfied with the results or experience changes over time that require revision. Dr. Suzanne Quardt is skilled in performing breast revision surgery to address these concerns and help women achieve their desired outcome. Revision procedures may involve implant removal and replacement, correction of asymmetry, or adjustments to the shape or position of the breasts. Dr. Quardt works closely with each patient to determine the best course of action and provide personalized care throughout the process.
Breast Implant Removal and Replacement
Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime, and they may need to be removed or replaced over time due to various reasons. Reasons for removal can vary from dissatisfaction with the size or shape of the implants to implant-related complications such as capsular contracture or implant rupture. Dr. Quardt uses advanced techniques to remove the implants while minimizing scarring and to provide her patients with beautiful, natural-looking results.
Types of Breast Implants
When considering breast augmentation, there are two types of breast implants to choose from: saline and silicone. Saline implants are filled with a sterile saline solution and provide a firmer, rounder appearance. Silicone implants, on the other hand, offer a more natural look and feel, as they are filled with a cohesive silicone gel. Both types of implants come in various shapes and sizes to help achieve your ideal figure. Dr. Suzanne Quardt can guide you in selecting the best implant type and size for your desired results.
Silicone breast implants are a popular choice for women seeking breast augmentation. These implants are filled with a silicone gel that closely resembles the feel of natural breast tissue. Silicone implants are often chosen for their natural look and feel, as well as their durability. They can also be a good option for women who have less natural breast tissue, as the silicone can provide a more natural appearance and improve the shape of the breast.
One advantage of silicone implants is that they are less likely to ripple or wrinkle compared to saline implants. This can be especially important for women who are thin or have less natural breast tissue. Another advantage is that if the implant ruptures, the gel will not leak into the body and cause harm. However, regular check-ups are recommended to ensure that the implants are intact.
Saline breast implants are one of the options for women who want to enhance the size or shape of their breasts. They are filled with sterile saline solution, which can be adjusted during the surgery to achieve the desired size. Unlike silicone implants, which are pre-filled, saline implants are inserted empty and filled afterwards, allowing for more flexibility in the sizing process.
One of the advantages of saline implants is that in the rare case of a rupture or leak, the saline is harmlessly absorbed by the body and the implant deflates. This allows for quick detection and replacement without posing a health risk. Saline implants also tend to cost less than silicone implants, making them a more budget-friendly option for some patients. However, saline implants are generally considered to be less natural-looking and feeling than silicone implants. They may also have a higher risk of rippling or wrinkling, especially in thinner patients with less breast tissue.
Breast
Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a popular surgical procedure that aims to increase the size and improve the shape of breasts. Dr. Suzanne Quardt specializes in various breast augmentation techniques, including saline or silicone implants, fat transfer, and IDEAL IMPLANT®. During a consultation, Dr. Quardt will help determine the best option for each patient based on their desired outcome, body type, and lifestyle. With her expertise, patients can achieve their ideal figure and feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
Breast
Lift
A breast lift is designed to lift and firm sagging breasts. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and the natural aging process can cause the breasts to lose their shape and elasticity, resulting in sagging or drooping. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipples and areolas are repositioned to create a more youthful and uplifted appearance. This procedure can also improve the symmetry and proportion of the breasts.
Breast Augmentation with Lift
Breast augmentation with lift is a popular procedure among women who want to enhance their breasts’ size and shape while also lifting them to a more youthful position. Dr. Suzanne Quardt utilizes the latest techniques and technologies to create natural-looking and beautiful results. This procedure involves placing breast implants to increase the breast’s volume, followed by lifting the breast tissue and skin to create a more youthful appearance. Dr. Quardt will work with you to determine the right implant size and placement to achieve your desired outcome.
Types of Procedures
There are several types of breast procedures that women can undergo, depending on their individual goals and needs.
If you are considering breast surgery, it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Suzanne Quardt to determine which procedure is best for you. She offers a variety of breast surgery techniques that can be customized to your unique goals and needs.
One of the most popular procedures is breast augmentation, which involves the use of implants to increase the size and volume of the breasts. This procedure is ideal for women who feel self-conscious about the size of their breasts, or who have lost volume due to weight loss or aging.
Another common procedure is the breast lift, which is designed to lift and firm sagging breasts. This procedure is ideal for women who have experienced changes in their breasts due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
For women who are looking to achieve both an increase in size and a lift, a breast augmentation with lift procedure may be the best option. This combines the benefits of both procedures, providing women with fuller, lifted breasts.
In some cases, women may wish to have their breast implants removed or replaced. This could be due to a change in personal preference or a desire to update their implants. Breast revision surgery can address these issues and help women achieve their desired results.
