Breast revision surgery offers patients an opportunity to adjust either size, shape, or position of their existing implants. Revision surgery can be complex and each patient is unique. The procedure often involves removal and possible replacement of implants, removal or tailoring of the scar capsule, lifting the breasts, and possibly the use of an internal bra to support the surrounding tissues. Dr. Cheah received advanced training from the Aesthetic Society in the use of High Resolution Ultrasound (HRUS) for the screening of breast implants and diagnosis of potential issues. This is a unique feature of the practice and will be available to patients as part of the consultation.
