Breast Reconstruction Revision Techniques

The exact approach Dr. Kim uses during breast reconstruction revision depends on the needs and concerns of the individual. Revision techniques also vary based on whether the original breast reconstruction was implant based or flap based.

Autologous tissue revisions are generally considered to be one of the most artistically challenging surgeries for breast reconstruction. The plastic surgeon you choose for an autologous tissue revision surgery plays a crucial role in how your results develop. Choosing a surgeon who has extensive training and experience in multiple reconstruction techniques can help to ensure that your results are aesthetically pleasing and look as natural as possible.

Revision surgery for breast reconstruction can take place months or even years after your original procedure. The optimal time for revision depends on your individual needs. During your initial consultation with Dr. Kim, she can help you determine an ideal timeline for your revision procedure and recovery process.
