Even though breast augmentation is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures performed in the world today, sometimes individuals are not entirely satisfied with the results of their augmentation surgery. In this case, breast augmentation revision surgery can improve upon these initial disappointing results.

As an experienced plastic surgeon, I’ve helped several women at my Orange County location restore their confidence with this procedure.

When is Breast Augmentation Revision Necessary

Women who seek revision breast surgery may have first noticed their particular concerns immediately after their initial surgery or even months to years after their procedure. The timing can vary depending on individual implant characteristics and anatomy.
