Losing a substantial amount of weight is a great achievement. However, it can also lead to changes in your body that you might not have anticipated, particularly when it comes to your breast implants.
If you’ve noticed a change in the appearance of your breasts after weight loss, you may be wondering whether breast implant revision surgery is necessary. At Gaines Plastic Surgery, Dr. Greg Gaines, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, offers this procedure to help women feel confident in their bodies at every stage of life, including after weight fluctuations.
In this blog, you’ll find out more about breast implant revision surgery and whether it could benefit you.
How Weight Loss Affects Breast Implants
Weight loss can affect breast implants and natural breast tissue in different ways.
For example, as your body loses fat, your breast volume may decrease. This can lead to sagging or a change in your implants’ position.
These changes can result in a less desirable appearance. Some women experience a deflated look or unevenness. They may also notice discomfort as the skin stretches and no longer supports the implants the way it once did.
Is Breast Implant Revision Surgery Necessary?
Not every woman who loses weight will need breast implant revision surgery. However, there are some situations where it may be beneficial:
- Your implants have shifted
- Your breasts appear saggy or out of proportion with the rest of your body
- Your implants feel uncomfortable or cause physical issues after weight loss.
The decision to go through breast implant revision surgery is personal. At Gaines Plastic Surgery, we will work with you to evaluate your specific concerns and recommend the best solution. We can adjust the size or position of your implants or combine revision surgery with a breast lift for optimal results.
