Operative Measures

Breast Augmentation Revision Natrelle™ focuses on several operative measures that are taken by Newport Beach, Orange County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Mowlavi to optimize your results:

• Use only FDA approved breast implants to ensure the longevity of your implants
• Provide perioperative antibiotics through your IV to minimize the risk of infection
• Utilize extended surgical drapes to ensure sterility throughout your case
• Utilize nipple-areola shields in order to avoid contamination of your implants from endogenous bacteria that normally live within the breast glands
• Use of anatomic landmarks for pectoralis muscle release in order to ensure the symmetric release of muscles and subsequent symmetry of proposed breast implants pocket position
• Use of non-powdered gloves as well as irrigation of surgeon’s gloves with antibiotics solution to avoid all irritants that could cause capsular contracture
• Use of antibiotic solution to irrigate the surgical breast pocket and breast implants in addition to the surgeon’s gloves to minimize the risk of infection
• Use of minimal touch technique when handling breast implant replacements prior to implantation.
• Use of sterile breast implant sizes prior to committing you to your final replacement implants.
• Maintaining an array of breast implant sizes and shapes on consignment at our surgery center so that adjustments in size can be considered during your operation should unexpected intraoperative findings be made.
• Placement of our specialized, proprietary Mermaid breast garment, i.e. breast band, which ensures maintenance of breast implant position and avoids implant malposition.

Postoperative Period

Finally, Orange County Breast Augmentation Revision Natrelle™ focuses on providing you a comfortable immediate postoperative period, speedy recovery, and long-lasting results by:

• Use of long-lasting numbing solution instilled into your pocket prior to closing your incision lines so that you have a comfortable immediate postoperative recovery
• Providing you with superior grade anesthetic medications during your surgery in order to avoid postoperative nausea and grogginess
• Providing you with generous bandages and garments that won’t need replacement until you dispense with them at your first postoperative visit
• Educating you and train you to perform breast massage exercises, which will minimize the incidence of scar tissue formation, i.e. capsular contracture, and ensure long-term aesthetically pleasing breast shape

It is not uncommon for Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery to require a simultaneous breast lift during your breast augmentation revision. By employing a simultaneous breast lift procedure, it is possible to correct breast mound shape asymmetry, to raise the position of the breast mound, to improve medial cleavage, and to ensure an optimum nipple-areola position.

Breast augmentation cost is affected by multiple factors including implant style selection, the severity of breast deformity, the need for breast lift, and whether insurance coverage can be secured for your surgery.

We encourage you to take advantage of our complimentary consultation so that you can be provided an accurate estimate for your breast augmentation revision surgery. We also encourage you to view Dr. Mowlavi’s breast augmentation revision before and after photographs so that you can appreciate the improvements that are feasible for you.
