Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the U.S., with over 313,000 patients opting for the surgery each year. However, as the number of women choosing breast augmentation increases, so too does the number of women looking to alter the results of their initial procedure.
Wanting to go bigger or smaller can be due to many reasons—lifestyle changes, career and aesthetic goals, pregnancy, weight fluctuations—but also due to poor guidance during the initial breast augmentation procedure.
Women who desire breast revision must understand that the procedure is more complicated than an initial breast augmentation. As such, it is imperative to choose a highly-experienced specialist to perform their breast implant exchange.
Here, Dr. Josh Waltzman discusses the various motivations compelling women to change their breast implants and the options available to them at this juncture.
For many women, their breasts are a significant aspect of their physical appearance and confidence. As such, breast size must reflect the individual’s life goals and lifestyle.
While large breasts were once a highly coveted look championed by pop idols such as Pamela Anderson, many women are now pursuing a more athletic, lean physique. This is compelling for women to opt for breast implant removal or revision or, instead of breast implants, to get a breast lift or fat transfer breast augmentation.
In other cases, some breast augmentation patients may wish to have their breast implants switched to larger implants because they are displeased with the results of the first procedure. This unfortunate result often arises from flawed consultation and guidance.
When considering breast augmentation, it is essential to consult an experienced, open, and publicly trusted surgeon who will offer you guidance and tips on choosing the correct breast implant size for you. Dr. Waltzman is one of the most highly recognized breast implant revision surgeons in Long Beach, CA.
