Revision Breast Surgery Sydney

Revisional Surgery

Also referred to as 'botched' surgery, revision breast surgery primarily aims to bring back the shape, size and overall appearance of the breasts prior to a previous surgery.

Dr Moradi refrains from using the word 'botched', however, because he strongly believes it is a loaded and unfair word.

When undergoing any surgery, multiple factors must be taken into consideration such as the timing of the surgery, any weight gain or loss (pre or post-op), pregnancy, underlying or pre-existing medical conditions, and more.

Prediciting Surgery Results

If the patient has good volume pre augmentation, they will have a fuller final look. I say to patients the number one indicator of what the post op results will be, depend on the pre-op shape and size. There will be scarring at the incision sites, the scars will be red and then turn white around the one year or more mark.
