Breast Implant Revision New York City

What to expect on the day of surgery

When you come in for your Breast Revision, you will first be administered anesthesia in either the form of intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The type you will be using will be discussed during your consultation.

Dr. Samson will then make a deliberate incision at a strategic location. Various breast implant revision techniques are utilized depending on the type of procedures being performed. These incisions are an Inframammary incision (in the crease under the breast), a Breast lift incision (either vertical incision or Wise pattern incision), the Peri-areolar incision (part way or around an areola), or some combination of any of the three. Once finished, the incisions are closed using sutures, skin adhesives, clips, or tapes.

Dr. Samson will cover your incisions with gauze dressings or bandages, and depending on the details of your surgery, you may also have your breasts wrapped in an elastic garment or be told to wear a sports bra to provide extra support to your revised breasts.

What’s the First Step?

Patients in NYC looking into a Breast Revision will first need to contact the office of William Samson, MD to make a consultation. When you come in, you will meet with Dr. Samson and explain your current situation with your breast implants. He will ask you questions regarding your medical and surgical history, during which time it is very important to be open with him, as this information will help prevent any unnecessary risks. Finally, Dr. Samson will examine your breasts and devise a surgical plan to help you achieve your goals.

If you agree with the plan made for you, our Patient Coordinator will help you schedule your surgical date and give you a list of important directions to follow before your procedure. These instructions will help make your experience and recovery more successful.

Breast Revision Recovery

After you are released by Dr. Samson, you will be able to recover comfortably at home. You should have a friend or family member available to give you a ride as you may still be feeling the effects of the anesthesia for a few hours after surgery.

Dr. Samson may temporarily leave a small, thin tube in the incision to help drain any excess blood or fluid that may build up, but it should be removed when you come back for your first check-up about a week later. You will also be given some specific instructions on how to care for your incisions and get the most out of your recovery. Lastly, there will be prescribed medications to help ease your pain and prevent infection. There will be some swelling and pain during the first few weeks to months, but it should begin to dissipate a little more each day.
