Generally speaking, a Breast Revision is any secondary breast procedure. It may involve correcting complications from a previous breast surgery or improving changes that have occurred over time or due to pregnancy and nursing. A breast revision may include removing and/or replacing the breast implant, removing excess scar tissue (capsulectomy), pocket exchange and/or breast lift (mastopexy). Breast implants may eventually fail (deflate or rupture) and patients may require one or more additionally procedures in their lifetime. Given that a Breast Revision is more difficult than a first time Breast Augmentation, it is very important to locate a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon of the Face and Body, such as Dr. Grover, who not only has significant experience but who specializes in this area.

What are common reasons for a Breast Revision?

There are many reasons that many women who have had breast surgery desire a Breast Revision. Dr. Grover attributes his meticulous nature as to why he has a very low breast revision rate.

Cosmetic reasons as to why women may seek a revision range from rippling to improper implant positioning or simply the desire to exchange their current breast implant for silicone gel or saline implants and/or to change their implant size. Rippling can be felt or even seen through the skin and may develop from the thinning of the tissue covering the implant. Patients may exchange their present implants for new smaller or larger implants as a result of lifestyle changes or simply to appear more natural by improving the implant position.

Hardening of the breast implant, also known as a Capsular Contracture may be one of the other reasons some women choose a revision. Excess scar tissue may cause some women to experience firmness, visible distortion and discomfort. An Open Capsulectomy, which is the removal of the entire capsule surrounding the implant, will improve often improve the discomfort and distortion of one’s breast and soften the breast.

Saline implant deflation or silicone gel implant rupture is another reason why women may undergo a breast revision. It is very apparent when saline implants deflate, as you may notice that your breasts have changed in size or shape. Within a few days, you may see that your breasts are softer and appear smaller as the saline is being harmlessly absorbed into your body. Additionally, you may experience some discomfort as the edges of the deflated implant may poke you. In order to avoid closure of the pocket, it is highly recommended that you replace your ruptured implant within a few weeks; otherwise, you may require more extensive surgery to open up the previous pocket. When silicone gel implants rupture or fail, it is less obvious because the silicone gel is self-contained within the capsule or pocket and is not absorbed by the body. There may be very little noticeable changes to your breasts with a silicone gel implant leak; therefore to confirm a rupture, tests such as an ultrasound or MRI may be required. Implants today come with warranties to cover some of the costs associated with a failed implant, including some of the facility and anesthesia costs.

What is the recovery like?

Dr. Grover’s Breast Revisions may take two to six hours under general anesthesia at an outpatient surgery facility depending on the complexity of the case. The recovery and the risks are similar, if not the same, as those of a Breast Augmentation and or Breast Lift. You may experience soreness, fatigue, numbness and possibly, as with any surgery, infection. It is very important that you follow pre- and post-op instructions carefully in order to have a quick recovery. Dr. Grover’s patients experience very little bruising or swelling and are well on their way to recovery within 3-5 days and depending on your occupation, able to return to work at that time. Because of his meticulous nature, skill, artistic eye, pre- and post-operative care, and his ability to listen and really understand his patient’s desires, Dr. Grover is able to provide a very high level of patient satisfaction.

Dr. Grover performed plastic surgery on “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gretchen Rossi. He used VelaShape on the back-side of Gretchen’s thighs to help eliminate the appearance of cellulite.

Sculptra Aesthetic targets the underlying causes of the signs of facial aging. It can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last for up to 2 years.* It begins to work within the deep dermis, where your skin’s structure is reinforced as Sculptra Aesthetic helps to replace lost collagen.

This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of your shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that have depleted over time. The result? Sculptra Aesthetic is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles and folds. This can provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years.

In broad terms, a Liquid Face Lift can be undertaken to accomplish any of the following:

1. Gentle lift of individual (or overall) facial features
2. Reduced wrinkles, creases or folds
3. Restoration of natural, curved facial contours
4. A more rested, energetic look
5. A friendlier smile

Results from liquid face lift procedures are usually gradual and can range from subtle to astonishing. It is common for patients who have had liquid face lift procedures to say that they receive compliments on their appearance without others knowing that they have done anything.

A liquid face lift procedure takes less than an hour and is performed in our facilities with local anesthesia. You may return to most of your normal activities almost immediately.

A liquid face lift procedure is tailored to each individual, so pricing depends upon a number of factors, including the extent of loss of collagen, skin laxity, skin damage, color and thickness, individual health and goals. Please call to schedule a confidential consultation.

Ulthera is a precise non-surgical tissue lifting treatment. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is the first-ever aesthetic treatment that incorporates ultrasound imaging for viewing tissue below the skin’s surface. The Ulthera System is considered a first-of-its-kind technology, unprecedented in the marketplace, and as such underwent a 510(k) “de novo” review by the FDA.

With just one treatment, the regenerative process is initiated, but the full effect will build over time, usually, in the course of two to three months. During the FDA clinical trial, 9 out of 10 patients had a noticeable, significant lift of the brow line, resulting in a more open, refreshed appearance overall. Patients reported firmer, tighter, more fit-looking skin in other areas of the face and neck as well. The ability to utilize an established technology to both see below the skin and then treat it with great precision, helps ensure both safety and a significant outcome.

There isn’t a replacement for the dramatic effects of surgery, but finally there is a non-invasive approach to significant skin tightening.

CoolSculpting™ is unique in the fact that, unlike most other fat reduction techniques, it involves no needles, surgery or downtime. The procedure is performed by a non-invasive applicator delivering precisely controlled cooling to the treatment area, which is specifically targeting underlying fat. This leaves the surface skin tissue unaffected. CoolSculpting™ procedures usually last about one to two hours.

The CoolSculpting™ breakthrough is based on extensive scientific research demonstrating that fat cells are more susceptible to extreme cold and can be selectively, painlessly, and permanently destroyed using a process known as Cryolipolysis™. Beginning several weeks after the procedure, cooled fat cells begin a process called apoptosis (natural cell death), where they will begin to shrink and disappear.

CoolSculpting™ by ZELTIQ™ is not intended to be a weight-reduction program substitute for overweight individuals. Candidates that can benefit most from the CoolSculpting™ procedure are people near their ideal body weight who eat well and exercise regularly, but have pockets of fat that have not responded to a healthy lifestyle. These individuals are seeking long-lasting spot reduction for this specific area of fat, but they aren’t considering a surgical procedure with its expense, downtime, and safety risks.

Labiaplasty of the large labia, which includes both the labia minora and labia majora, is the reduction of the outward appearance, the correction of asymmetric or misshapen labia or other related female genital irregularities. Many factors can cause discomfort for women, both physically and emotionally, including being born with enlarged labia or the development of enlarged labia through childbirth or age. Dr. Grover’s Newport Beach Labiaplasty patients are relieved many of the physical and emotional issues by contouring the labia majora (outer lips) and the labia minora (inner lips).

In a lot of cases, many people confuse Labiaplasty with Vaginoplasty but they are not the same. Vaginoplasty or Vaginal Rejuvenation is a procedure that surgically tightens the vagina, enhancing vaginal sensitivity, for women that have experienced multiple childbirths.

In the past, Labiaplasty has been a very sensitive issue, but women today are seeking “vaginal beautification” more often. Also known as Labia sculpting, this procedure reduces the length of the genitalia and use liposuction to change the external appearance of the Mons Pubis (the fatty area under the pubic hair), greatly improving the aesthetic appearance of abnormally enlarged labia. The positive aspects of the procedure go far beyond the physical changes, helping rebuild a woman’s confidence and self-esteem. At a reasonable cost with minimal recovery time, women can look and feel great thanks to this minor outpatient surgical procedure.
