Corrective Surgery

Corrective breast surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at addressing issues arising from previous breast augmentation or reconstruction surgeries.

While most patients achieve their desired results from cosmetic breast surgery, a small percentage may encounter complications or find their results unsatisfactory. Some develop adverse results over the passage of time.

This is where corrective surgery, performed by an expert like Mr. Philip Turton in Leeds, becomes essential.

Corrective breast surgery may be required for several reasons, including:

1. Changes in Aesthetic Preferences: Over time, patients may wish to adjust the size or style of their implants.
2. Natural Changes in the Body: Factors like weight fluctuations, aging, or breast tissue sagging can affect the appearance of the implants.
3. Complications from Previous Surgery: Common issues include capsular contracture, asymmetry, implant visibility or wrinkling, and breast droop.

Each patient’s situation is unique, and the need for corrective surgery often arises from a combination of personal preferences and medical considerations.

Corrective surgery addresses a range of complications, including:

• Capsular Contracture: This condition involves the hardening of scar tissue around the implant, leading to discomfort and distortion in breast shape.
• Asymmetry: Differences in breast size or position can occur, requiring correction for a balanced appearance.
• Breast Droop (Ptosis): Sagging breasts, often due to aging or implant displacement, can be lifted and reshaped during corrective surgery.
• Implant Palpability or Visibility: When implants are too visible or palpable, corrective surgery can reposition them to create a more natural look and feel.

Wrinkling: Wrinkles or ripples in the skin over the implant can be smoothed out with proper surgical techniques.

Statistics from the FDA Adjunct Studies indicate that around 1 in 5 patients experience complications after revision breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery within five years.

This is significantly higher than the complication rates for primary breast augmentation.

The increased risk underscores the importance of careful planning and choosing an experienced surgeon for revision procedures. Mr. Turton approaches every corrective surgery with meticulous attention to detail to minimize risks and achieve optimal outcomes.
