Polytech Teardrop Implant Revision Surgery Case

Hello, this is Marble Plastic Surgery.

Today, we will talk about a case in which revision surgery was performed because an implant caused a problem.

This patient lives overseas.

After undergoing breast surgery with Polytech teardrop implants in 2013,

as time passed, an unexpected side effect developed in which fluid collected around the implant, and she underwent a procedure to remove the fluid about twice.

Even after that, she continued to feel discomfort, as if the breast was becoming hard and lumpy.

Because she did not live in Korea,

it was not easy to visit a hospital right away, and she thought it was not a serious problem at the time.

However, as time passed, more things in daily life became bothersome and uncomfortable,

and after long consideration, she came to Marble Plastic Surgery to find an accurate diagnosis and a solution.

She must have felt very upset and shocked.

After visiting the clinic, through detailed consultation and examinations,

we provided sufficient and detailed explanations about the current condition of the breasts and the problems caused by the existing implants.

The patient was likely surprised and upset, but after understanding the situation accurately through the consultation,

she decided to undergo breast revision surgery, including implant replacement.

Although it has only been a short time, the surgery was completed safely.

It is now about one week since the surgery, and we are observing the recovery progress.

Because she had lived with discomfort for so long, she made the decision after careful consideration, and we also plan to share the future progress and recovery process gradually.

Two important things in breast revision surgery

In breast augmentation surgery, the surgeon’s skill is just as important as the choice of implant.

Especially in revision surgery:

• it is more difficult than the first surgery,

• adhesions, the capsule, and tissue condition must be considered, and

• a more precise and safe approach is required.

Therefore, it is not simply a matter of replacing the implant;

a customized surgical plan that takes the overall breast condition into account is essential.

For those reading this post and considering revision surgery,

we recommend making a careful decision after thorough consultation

and an accurate diagnosis with a specialist who has extensive clinical experience.
