Breast Reconstruction Revision in Troy, Michigan
Revision surgery refines or corrects a previous breast reconstruction, improving symmetry, shape, or position when the first result has changed or fell short of expectations.
Reconstructed breasts can change over time, or a first reconstruction may leave asymmetry, rippling, capsular contracture, or a shape that never quite settled. Revision addresses those specific problems.
Dr. Qasawa evaluates what was done previously and what tissue is available, then plans a corrective approach, which may involve exchanging an implant, releasing scar tissue, fat grafting, or adjusting the opposite breast for balance.
Are you a good candidate?
- Asymmetry after a previous reconstruction
- Capsular contracture, rippling, or implant malposition
- A reconstruction result that has changed over time
The only way to know for sure is a consultation. Dr. Qasawa will review your goals and health and give you honest guidance. Request a consultation.
Breast questions
Silicone or saline implants, which is better?
Both are safe and FDA-approved. Silicone implants tend to feel more like natural breast tissue, while saline offers a firmer feel and a smaller incision. The best choice depends on your anatomy and preferences, which Dr. Qasawa reviews with you at consultation.
Will a breast lift change my breast size?
A breast lift restores position and shape but does not change size much. If you also want more fullness, an implant can be added at the same time. If you want to be smaller, a reduction may be the better fit.
Is breast reduction covered by insurance?
Often, yes. When large breasts cause documented physical symptoms, breast reduction may be partially covered. Coverage varies by plan and needs pre-authorization, which our team can help coordinate.
How long is recovery after breast augmentation?
Most patients return to desk work within about a week and resume full activity, including exercise, in roughly four to six weeks. Dr. Qasawa gives you a personalized recovery timeline at your consultation.
