If you have been struggling with the physical and emotional discomfort that comes with disproportionately large breasts, a breast reduction may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Pacifica Center For Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient is unique, which is why we take the time to evaluate each individual’s needs and determine candidacy on a case-by-case basis.

During your consultation, Dr. Kolder will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your concerns and desired results. There are several signs that your breasts may be too large for your body, including back and neck pain, difficulty exercising, and difficulty finding clothing that fits properly. With a breast reduction, you can alleviate these symptoms and achieve a more proportionate and comfortable body shape.

Don't let overly large breasts hold you back any longer. Contact Dr. Kolder today to schedule your consultation and discover if a breast reduction is the right choice for you.

Your Breast Reduction Consultation

Capsular contracture is a condition in which a capsule — or hardened scar tissue — forms around the breast implant. This can occur anytime after your breast augmentation and can happen with both silicone and saline implants. A breast revision can be performed to correct the capsular contracture at which you can choose to have a new implant put in its place if needed.

Breast Revision for Double Bubble Deformity

A double bubble breast deformity occurs when the implant is positioned behind a resistant inframammary fold. The implant is placed low in order to position the nipple on the most projecting part of the breast. In the process, the fold ends up creating a crease across the implant. Patients who develop this deformity often times need a combination augmentation/breast implant as well as a formal mastopexy. In these patients, the initial problems were loss of breast volume and nipple position. Simply placing the implant in a lowered position attempts to compensate for the ptosis. However, it can result in a double bubble deformity. In addition, an inadequately released pectoralis major muscle can contribute to the problem.

Breast Revision for Implant Rupture

Ruptured implant etiology can arise for various reasons. Whenever a patient presents with a ruptured implant, we advise removal in the near future. Rupture can lead to robust capsular constracture, making revisionary surgery more difficult.

Breast Revision for Implant Exchange

As patients become accustomed to the changes produced from the breast augmentation, they may, at some point, decide to change the size, shape, or material of the implant. It is normal for patients to undergo a breast revision as they get older and their bodies continue to change. You may also choose to undergo an implant exchange simply to benefit from newer breast implant technology.

Your Breast Revision Consultation

During your breast revision consultation, Dr. Kolder will speak with you to identify any issues that may warrant a revision procedure. Ruptures, capsular contracture, and any other breast implant defects can be diagnosed by Dr. Kolder. We will then work with you to determine a treatment plan for your breast revision and outline the surgery steps, benefits, and recovery of your procedure.

The Breast Revision Procedure

Breast revision surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis in our surgery center. Breast revision surgery is tailored to each individual patient and can be as simple as implant exchange or as complex as tissue transfer to reconstruct a deformity. The details of your procedure will be covered during your consultation. Each woman’s breast revision will vary based on the reasons for her surgery and whether she will be receiving new breast implants.

Recovering from Breast Revision

The entire breast revision recovery process is similar to the previous breast surgery and usually takes several weeks. You should make arrangements to have someone take you home, and plan on having someone with you for the first twenty-four hours. Though you are encouraged to rest during that time, you should not spend all your time in bed. You will need to get up and walk around for five minutes every hour, except when sleeping.
