Losing a significant amount of weight can provide a big confidence boost. For women with breast implants, though, it can also bring some unexpected and less-than-desirable changes.
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. John J. Corey often works with women who have noticed shifts in their breast appearance after substantial weight loss. With over 30 years of experience, he understands the toll these changes can take and wants to help patients look and feel their best.
If you’ve recently slimmed down but aren’t fully satisfied with your new figure, breast implant revision might be the answer. Here are six signs you might want to consider this procedure.
1. Your Breast Volume Has Decreased
Weight loss can reduce breast tissue, leaving implants looking larger or more prominent than desired. Revision can balance proportions.
2. Your Implant Position Has Shifted
As body fat decreases, implants may shift or sit differently. This can lead to asymmetry or an unnatural appearance. A revision can reposition implants for a more natural contour.
3. You Have a Lot of Loose Skin
Losing a considerable amount of weight can impact skin elasticity. Loose skin around the breasts can make implants look abnormally high on youre chest and with significant droop of your tissue, your breasts can look “long” rather than “round”. Skin tightening procedures like a breast revision or lift, can really help this.
4. Capsular Contracture Is More Noticeable
Although unrelated to weight loss, capsular contracture – tightening of scar tissue around the implant – can become more noticeable as body fat diminishes. Breast implant revision can address this issue.
5. You Want Smaller Implants or a Different Type
After weight loss, you might decide that you prefer a smaller implant or a different shape that complements your new body size. Dr. Corey can help you select implants that better align with your current aesthetic goals.
6. You’re Unhappy With the Shape
Weight loss may change the overall shape of your breasts, making them seem deflated or uneven. Revision surgery can restore fullness and symmetry.
