Common reasons for breast augmentation failure

1. Poor surgical technique or lack of experience

Some surgical failures stem from the physician's insufficient understanding of the anatomical structure of the breast, leading to improper dissection space and incorrect placement of the implants, which affects post-operative symmetry and naturalness.

2. Not using original legal implants

Using implants of unknown origin may lead to rupture, leakage, or rejection by the body, increasing post-operative risks.

3. Improper post-operative care

Not wearing a supportive bra after surgery, engaging in intense exercise too soon, or improper wound care may all affect recovery outcomes.

4. Special constitution or immune response

A small number of people may have a severe rejection to foreign objects, leading to issues such as capsular contracture.

Common symptoms after breast augmentation failure

• The breast shapes on both sides are obviously asymmetric.

• The position of the implant is shifted or drooping unnaturally.

• hard lumps, tightness, abnormal texture

• Pain, inflammation, redness, or fever

• Implant rupture leading to asymmetry

If there are the above situations, one should immediately seek treatment at a professional plastic surgery clinic.

Breast Augmentation Repair and Remedial Methods

• revision breast augmentation surgery

Redesign the surgical plan based on the issues (such as implant rupture, improper positioning, capsular contracture, etc.), adjust the position of the implant, and select more suitable materials.

• Implant removal or replacement

For severe rejection or rupture, the problematic implant should be removed as soon as possible. After the tissue has healed, a new implant may be reinserted depending on the situation.

• Medical Scar Treatment

Using auxiliary treatments such as laser, silicone sheets, or medical ointments to improve scars and pigmentation left by surgery.

• Fat grafting

If the condition of the breast tissue is not suitable for re-implanting the prosthesis, autologous fat grafting can be considered as a repair method to restore the natural appearance and soft feel of the breasts.

• 使用GalaFLEXRetinal lift breast support

In some revision surgeries, the physician will assess whether to useGalaFLEXAbsorbable breast support membranes provide additional support, stabilize the position of the implants, and reduce the risk of postoperative sagging or deformation.
