Restorative Before & After Photos

Procedures are performed in a fully accredited surgical facility certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities Inc. (AAAASF), The State of Arizona, and Medicare.

What is Revision Reconstruction?

Every individual who undergoes a mastectomy has the right to feel comfortable with her results. Revision surgery is done to correct problems that occurred during or after breast reconstruction that negatively impact your everyday life and/or health. This procedure may be needed due to poor cosmetic results from a prior mastectomy, complications that developed over time, or if you are unhappy with the results of your reconstruction surgery.

Some symptoms that may be associated with a complication following breast reconstruction include:

  • Increased tightness of the reconstructed breast.
  • Breast pain.
  • Changes in the size, shape, or position of the breast.
  • A lump or firmness in the breast.

Corrective surgery can be performed soon after your initial breast reconstruction, or even years later. It all depends on your individual situation and preferences. However, it is important that patients understand that radiation or chemotherapy will need to be completed before revision surgery is performed.

Who is a Good Candidate for Revision Reconstruction?

If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, an imbalance between your breasts, or notice asymmetrical positioning of your implants following breast reconstruction, you may be a good candidate for revision surgery. Many individuals who are unhappy with their initial surgery results opt for revision surgery for an improvement in their breast appearance. During your consultation, one of our skilled plastic surgeons will work with you to create a correction plan that is customized to your unique needs. Contact our office today to schedule your initial consultation.

The Revision Reconstruction Procedure

Revision surgery is customized to each patient’s unique situation. Your procedure options will be dependent on your initial reconstruction surgery, what you are unhappy with, and how much skin and tissue is available to work with.

Like any surgical procedure, revision surgery also holds some risks. However, when performed by skilled plastic surgeons such as those at Tucson Plastic Surgery, you can be sure you are in good hands. Our main goal is to provide you with the best possible aesthetic results while also keeping you safe and healthy.

Dr. Mahabir is truly a genuine, caring, and professional doctor! His work is perfection despite the circumstances (He performed my breast implantation after a bilateral mastectomy). He will go out of his way to make sure everything is perfect for YOU as the patient. He is honest and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone especially anyone considering breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. P.S. Dr. Mahabir is super handsome... just another perk when you go under for surgery and his beautiful face is what you fall asleep to :)”
