Breast Revision

Whether you’re interested in removing your implants because you no longer desire a larger breast size, or you wish to extract them for your own peace of mind, breast implant removal from our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in Orlando can help you regain your original breast contours. Unfortunately, years — even decades — of implant use tends to stretch the skin and increase breast laxity, making the breasts look elongated, flat, or pendulous once their implants are removed. This doesn’t happen for all breast augmentation patients, but additional treatment may be required for women who are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts post-surgery. The possibility of further surgery usually depends on:  The size and volume of the implants The length of time the implants were... Continue Reading

Breast augmentation can be considered the “gold standard” of breast rejuvenation depending on the aesthetic concerns that motivate patients to pursue the procedure. When the breasts begin to stretch or lose volume, implants are often the most effective way to restore a rounder, more voluminous, and younger-looking breast shape. That said, some people with breast implants experience a condition in which their breasts feel unusually hard. This phenomenon, known as capsular contracture, can affect comfort and aesthetics — even causing the breasts to look distorted in more severe cases. Capsular contracture can be caused by a number of factors, including: Genetics: While it’s impossible to predict who may or may not develop capsular contracture, patients who have a family history of autoimmune diseases or thick...

As we age, our bodies change in response to some of life’s biggest moments. Specifically, the appearance of firm and youthful breasts can fluctuate with age and multiple factors usually contribute to these developments. From pregnancy and breastfeeding to weight fluctuations, the breast contours tend to look flatter and less shapely over time. Menopause and the natural aging process are also contributing factors, especially when the body starts producing less estrogen. While the age-related changes to your breasts vary from patient to patient according to genetics and unique lifestyle factors, there are certain concerns widely shared by women as they get older. Many patients want to improve: Breasts that look elongated, have lost volume, or appear deflated A decrease in skin elasticity and firmness Nipples... Continue Reading

While the vast majority of breast augmentation patients are happy with their enhancement and maintain beautiful results well into the future, some women seek out a secondary procedure to resolve complications that have arisen with their implants.

Last Friday I proposed our weekly trivia question on Facebook and the focus of last Friday's question was Why Do Women Get their Breasts Re-Done? I was thoroughly impressed with the vast number and variety of responses received! The goal with breast augmentation is to provide women with fuller, firmer breasts. Attaining great breast augmentation is artistry creating desired aesthetics, symmetry and balance with natural looking results. This is a procedure that Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani performs most often classifying him an expert in this field. Unfortunately, no one can guarantee that your breasts will look the same forever. The effects of gravity, aging, pregnancy, weight gain/loss, size of breasts will at some point take a toll and breast revisionary surgery may be considered. Listed... Continue Reading

Did you know that an asthma medication can help with Capsular Contracture? Read more and find out… WHAT IS IT? Capsular contracture is a rare occurrence that can sometimes affect women who have breast implants. The condition is characterized by thick tight scar tissue forming around the breast implant and causing a feeling of hardness to the breast. Capsular contracture can also have an effect on breast shape and discomfort may also be evident. The surgical removal of this scar tissue is called Capsulectomy. HOW CAN I HELP AVOID THIS? Manual massaging helps minimize the occurrence of Capsular Contracture. Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani feels that sometimes massaging breasts too soon after surgery can cause unwanted bleeding around the implant and therefore causing potential problems. Dr.... Continue Reading
