Breast reconstruction revision in New York can help improve your quality of life, achieve greater breast symmetry, and improve your overall appearance. Revision of breast reconstruction always involves a personalized approach, with a solution that is customized to your unique situation.

What Is Breast Reconstruction Revision?

Patients who have had breast reconstruction in a prior procedure (either implant or flaps) may require revisionary surgery or additional procedures to improve appearance, alleviate pain, correct any deformity, or provide better symmetry. Corrective surgery can happen at any time following initial breast reconstructive surgery.

Some patients with initial implant reconstruction will choose to remove implants and proceed with flap reconstruction. You can expect a breast reconstruction revision procedure, whether simple or involving multiple stages, to be covered by your health insurance.
