Increased Breast Size: Another common reason for breast revision surgery to remove implants, is overall dissatisfaction with the appearance of the breasts. Breast size, and breast tissue quality can and do change over time, often in response to hormonal changes that are occurring in the body. It is very common to hear from patients who loved their breast size when they underwent breast augmentation initially, and who have noticed enlargement of their own breast tissue over time.

Rippling: Sometimes there is a rippling effect of the implant edges and the implant can be felt and/or seen. In this case, the surgeon will attempt to use the same incision created during the original process to remove the old implant and to reinsert the new one, or to perform other procedures to ensure the breast looks attractive and natural following the procedure (Natural fat transfer, or Renuva injections).

BIA-ALCL: This is an extremely rare entity that has been classified as a T-cell lymphoma that occurs adjacent to breast implants. The exact cause is unclear. In recent studies, although the absolute number of cases is very low, BIA-ALCL has been found more commonly in patients who have had textured implants placed. Texturing of implants does vary depending on the manufacturer, and many of the cases associated with textured implants occurred predominantly with those devices made by one particular company (Dr. Brenner does not use implants from that company). However, some cases have occurred in women with smooth implants as well, both with silicone and saline devices. This entity most commonly presents as a late seroma (fluid collection) around the implant. Appropriate treatment includes removal of the implants, fluid and breast capsules.

Malposition: The Breast implants may have shifted (breast implant malposition) and are now located in an area which is uncomfortable, such as the armpit. Or they may have shifted into a position that is unattractive (i.e. bottoming out, also known as inferior malposition).

During your consultations with Dr. Brenner, he will offer alternatives to implants if reinserting them is not an option. In some cases, it is not possible for medical reasons. The important thing to remember is that Dr. Brenner has extensive experience and success in restoring a normal, natural appearance to breasts following changes resulting from pregnancy, natural aging, as well as myriad post-surgical issues as demonstrated above.
