Breast Revision in Plano, TX

Breast revision surgery is customized for each patient. The most common techniques include:

• Implant Exchange: Replacing old implants with new saline or silicone options.
• Capsulectomy or Capsulotomy: Removing or releasing scar tissue around the implant to correct firmness or distortion.
• Implant Removal: Safely removing implants and reshaping the breast tissue for a natural contour.
• Lift or Fat Grafting Enhancements: Combining breast lift or fat transfer for improved symmetry and proportion.

The procedure typically takes one to three hours, depending on complexity, and is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility.

Preparation helps ensure safety and optimal recovery:

• Stop smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications as directed.
• Complete pre-operative labs and imaging (if applicable).
• Arrange for someone to drive you home and assist for 24–48 hours.
• Follow any fasting or medication guidelines provided by Dr. Obasi.

Your personalized pre-surgery plan will be reviewed in detail during your pre-operative appointment.

During surgery, small incisions are made in discreet areas (often using your previous incision sites) to minimize new scarring. Dr. Obasi then performs the necessary corrections—removing, replacing, or adjusting implants, reshaping breast tissue, and ensuring symmetry and proportion.

After closure, the area is dressed, and you’ll be placed in a supportive garment to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients return home the same day.

• First three to five days: Expect swelling, tightness, and mild soreness; pain is managed with medication.
• Weeks one to two: You may return to light activity; avoid heavy lifting or chest exercises.
• Weeks four to six: Most swelling subsides, and your breasts begin settling into their new shape.
• Beyond six weeks: You can typically resume all normal activities with Dr. Obasi’s clearance.

You’ll attend follow-up visits so Dr. Obasi can monitor your healing and results. Wearing your supportive bra and following aftercare instructions will help optimize outcomes.

Results depend on your goals and surgical plan, but patients typically enjoy:

• Softer, more symmetrical, natural-looking breasts
• Resolution of pain or tightness caused by implant complications
• Improved shape, projection, and confidence
• Long-lasting aesthetic refinement with modern implants or reshaping techniques

Final results appear gradually as swelling decreases, with continued improvement over several months.
