For those considering a breast revision in Sydney, Dr Rhys van der Rijt offers personalised care and professional expertise to help patients achieve their desired outcomes.


Understanding Breast Revision in Sydney

Breast revision surgery, or implant revision for breast Sydney procedures, involves modifying or replacing existing implants to address concerns or meet new goals. Common reasons for breast implant revision in NSW include dissatisfaction with implant size or position or complications such as capsular contracture. Dr Rhys van der Rijt works closely with each patient to develop a treatment plan suited to their individual needs.


Reasons for Breast Revision Surgery in Sydney

Sydney Breast Revision Surgery: Choosing Between Implant Replacement or Removal

When considering breast implant revision in NSW, patients may opt for implant replacement or removal. Implant replacement involves selecting new implants to meet personal goals. Some patients prefer implant removal due to complications or changes in preference. Dr Rhys van der Rijt can discuss whether procedures like a breast lift in Sydney or fat transfer breast augmentation might complement your revision for optimal results.


Sydney Breast Revision Surgery Options

Addressing Capsular Contracture During Breast Revision Surgery

Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant tightens, leading to discomfort or changes in breast shape. During a Sydney breast revision surgery, Dr Rhys van der Rijt may remove the scar tissue and replace the implant if necessary. A thorough consultation will help determine the best approach for managing a capsular contracture of the breast implant.

Considering a Breast Lift with Breast Revision Surgery

For patients who experience sagging in addition to implant concerns, Dr Rhys van der Rijt may recommend a breast lift in Sydney alongside revision surgery. A breast lift helps reposition the breast tissue, addressing issues like skin laxity that can occur due to ageing, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy. Combining these procedures can improve overall breast shape and position.

Fat Transfer as Part of Breast Revision Surgery 

In some cases, Dr Rhys van der Rijt may suggest fat transfer breast augmentation to enhance breast shape during revision surgery. This technique uses the patient’s own fat to refine breast contours, offering a customised approach to achieving desired results. Fat transfer can be an option for patients seeking to avoid further implants or wanting additional shaping.
