Breast Implant Problems

Breast Implant Problems in New York – Breast Surgery NYC

Breast Implant Problems in New York. Breast Surgery NYC surgeons are here to help.

If you are experiencing any of the following breast implant problems, we can correct it and give you the physique you are looking for:

  • Encapsulation (Capsular Contracture)
  • Botched Prior Augmentation
  • Flawed Breast Reconstruction (after mastectomy or breast lift)
  • Leaking Implant(s)

 

Capsular Contracture – Tackling New York Breast Implant Problems in Our Breast Surgery NYC Centers

Through the body’s own natural reaction to a foreign object (breast implant), sometimes a “capsular contracture” can occur. Every breast, after receiving an implant, will work to form a scar tissue capsule around the new foreign object. This is a normal part of the healing process that occurs.

For some of our patients, however, the scar tissue is too tight and squeezes on the breast implant. The result is a change in the shape of the breast, asymmetry in the size, and anything from slight discomfort to moderate pain in the affected breast(s). Fortunately, our skilled New York breast implant problems surgeon can help fix this in our breast surgery NYC and Long Island centers.

Capsular contracture can occur with either type of breast implant (silicone or saline), is generally fixed with surgical intervention, and can reoccur in patients prone to this condition. Only a specialist such as one of our breast surgery NYC plastic surgeons can determine the best course of treatment after a thorough examination and learning more about the patient’s history.

 

Botched Breast Augmentation? Our New York Breast Implant Problems Surgeon, Dr. Theodore Diktaban, Can Help You in Our Breast Surgery NYC or Long Island Center.

Due to the increase in popularity of breast augmentation procedures as well as unethical “price wars” between surgery centers, we are seeing an ever-increasing number of New York breast implant problems patients who have received a substandard augmentation from another provider. New York breast surgeons without specific training in plastic surgery are performing augmentations in order to “jump on the bandwagon” and make some quick cash.

Additionally, we are seeing an unfortunate increase in breast surgery NYC plastic surgery centers that operate on cheap prices and sheer volume alone (the more patients they see, the lower their prices). These are not proper principles for professionalism or patient safety! We are glad to perform breast augmentation revision for our New York breast implant problems patients with the understanding that you get what you pay for. We offer only the best to our breast surgery NYC and Long Island patients; Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, AAAHC accredited surgery centers with top safety standards, and competitive pricing (as compared to what equally-qualified surgeons in the area are charging).

 

Flawed Breast Reconstruction

After a breast lift or reconstruction following a mastectomy, unfortunately some New York breast surgery patients are dissatisfied with their results. It could be due to any number of reasons including excessive scar tissue at the incision site (keloid scarring), asymmetry of the breasts (unevenness), or less-than-desired breast size. If any of these are the case for you than a breast revision procedure by one of our breast surgery NYC surgeons is in order. Our highly skilled New York plastic surgeons will talk to you in depth about your specific concerns and personalize a surgery plan to meet your aesthetic goals. We work very hard to help our patients achieve satisfaction with their surgical results… that’s a major difference that you will experience at Advanced Cosmetic Surgery of New York!

Leaking or Ruptured Breast Implant Problems

When a breast implant deflates, it can either occur suddenly or gradually over time. Sometimes the rupture spontaneously occurs without provocation due to a defect in the breast implant, for example. Other times, it is simply a result of the age of the implants (usually at 10 years or older) or as the result of a sudden physical strain on the breast implant, such as can occur with an accident. Whether the implant is filled with saline or silicone, it must be removed promptly. Any breast implant problems that occur, especially because it is a foreign object in the body, must be handled right away. Implants can be a potential source for bacterial infection.

Patients may experience one of more of the following symptoms if they have leaking or ruptured breast implant problems:

  • Decrease in the size of one of the breasts, either suddenly or over time
  • Pain or tenderness in the affected breast
  • Tingling or burning sensation, numbness, or lumps in the affected breast (silicone implants)
  • Red rash and/or chest pain (saline implants) which could signify the start of an infection due to bacteria or mold-laden saline escaping into the breast.
