What to Expect During a Breast Revision Consultation

What to Expect During a Breast Revision ConsultationIf you have breast implants and are experiencing changes in their appearance, comfort, or your personal preferences, a breast revision consultation is the first step in updating or removing your implants. This appointment is designed to discuss your concerns, review your options, and create a personalized surgical plan. McLain Surgical Arts, led by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain, provides breast revision to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding locations.

Step 1: Discussion of Your Concerns

You’ll talk with your surgeon about why you’re considering breast revision, such as:

  • Desire for a different size or shape

  • Implant rupture or deflation

  • Capsular contracture

  • Changes after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging

  • Discomfort or aesthetic dissatisfaction

Step 2: Medical History and Examination

Your surgeon will review your medical history, including:

  • Past breast surgeries

  • Implant details (type, size, placement)

  • Any current symptoms such as pain or firmness
    A physical exam will be done to assess your breast tissue, skin elasticity, and implant positioning.

Step 3: Imaging and Tests

In some cases, imaging such as ultrasound or MRI may be recommended to check implant integrity and surrounding tissues.

Step 4: Reviewing Your Options

Depending on your needs, your surgeon will discuss:

  • Replacing implants with a different size or type

  • Removing implants entirely (explant surgery)

  • Adding a breast lift for improved shape and position

  • Combining procedures for optimal results

Step 5: Surgical Planning

You’ll go over incision options, recovery timelines, and potential risks. The surgeon will also explain how to prepare for surgery and what aftercare will be needed.

Step 6: Cost and Scheduling

The consultation typically concludes with a detailed cost estimate and available surgery dates.
