Preparing for Your Consultation
Before your initial consultation with us, come prepared to share the following information:
- Details about your current implants (type, size, date of surgery).
- Your desired outcome and any concerns you wish to address.
- Your medical history and any previous complications with breast implants.
What to Expect During Your Procedure
We typically perform breast implant revision surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure can take several hours, depending on the complexity.
During surgery, Dr. Dawes may replace old implants, adjust their position, or remove them altogether based on what you decided in your consultation.
After your procedure, you will be in a recovery area where medical staff will monitor you as you regain consciousness. You may feel groggy, tired, or experience some discomfort, which is normal. You will receive pain medication to help you manage any discomfort.
It’s essential to have someone drive you home and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours to assist with daily activities, as you'll need to rest and recover. We’ll also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and progress after corrective surgery for breast implants.
