As a top breast revision surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. Brenner has a high level of experience, expertise and skill in the area of breast revision surgery and is commonly sought out to correct problems with breast implants received from other surgeons. Breast implant issues can be anything from uncomfortable to disfiguring. Some problems can affect your health or your active lifestyle, not to mention your self-confidence. We’ve listed some of the most common problems below:

Capsular Contracture

Signs of capsular contracture include: breast implants that are hard or have moved from their original position, breasts that look deformed in appearance or breasts that are painful. Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications following breast augmentation surgery. It will not get better or improve with time, instead it will get worse unless handled by breast revision surgery.

Capsular contracture is often caused by bacteria that enter the surgical area from the patient’s skin. As time goes on, usually within about 4 to 6 weeks of surgery, the tissue around the breast implant shrinks and compresses the implant, causing it to feel hard and look slightly deformed or unnatural.

Rupture or DeflationOf Saline-Filled Implants

Signs of breast implant rupture or deflation include: soreness, hard spots next to your breast implant or a deflated look to your breasts. Ruptured or deflated breast implants can be caused by a number of things, including: damage during implantation, folding or wrinkling of the implant shell, extreme pressure of breast during mammography, or excessive force or trauma to the chest.

Displacement of Implant Caused by Certain Movements

Signs of this include: feeling movement of implants, dip in chest from implants moving, implants popping upwards so they seem to sit too high, etc. This can happen immediately after surgery, or it can happen months later.

Implant movement is usually caused by the breast being placed in a particular area where the muscle affects it.
