What is Correction Mammoplasty?
Correction Mammoplasty involves removal and/or replacement of breast implants to correct any deformities or complications from the previous breast augmentation. Although breast implant surgeries have a high satisfaction rate, issues can arise after years of having the implant, which can involve aging signs such as sagging breasts or excessively wide cleavage.
This corrective surgery aims to restore a more youthful and attractive breast contour. The procedure may be as simple as exchanging implants through the initial incision or a more complex method in which a new incision or placement is needed. Factors affecting the likelihood of a good outcome include the elasticity and thickness of the breast and skin tissues as well as how much soft tissue can be used to envelop the implants.
Breast Augmentation Issues
There are issues following a mammoplasty that require patients to seek a secondary, or even third or fourth surgery. Some of them include:
· Breast Implant-Associated Lymphoma (cancer of the immune system)
· Capsular contracture
· Excessively wide cleavage, or little to no cleavage (Symmastia)
· Implant upsize or downsize
· Implant type change e.g saline to cohesive silicone gel
· Implant rippling
· Scar revision
· Breast lift
· Other issues that necessitate a Correction Mammoplasty
Implant Shape
For this procedure, round breast implants are used. These implants are round in shape and smooth in texture, and they give a full top appearance.
A lot of people feel that the teardrop shape resembles the natural breasts more than the round implants. But it all comes down to your personal preference and the desired body silhouette when choosing your implant shape. Your doctor will suggest the most suitable implant for you, taking into consideration your condition and your desired result.
Implant Profiles
At our affiliated hospital, round silicone gel implants come in moderate high profile and ultra-high profile. Generally, the higher the profile, the narrower the base, and the greater the projection.
For instance, a low profile breast implant has a wider base with a less forward projection. A breast implant with a high profile has a narrower base but a more forward projection, and similarly an ultra-high profile would produce a more top-heavy result in terms of projection - making it suitable for those with narrow bodies and wish to have bigger breasts; subject to the doctor's consultation.
