What to Expect
Your experience is designed to be thoughtful, personalized and centered on your comfort.
1. Consultation & Planning
Dr. Schmitt takes time to understand your goals, review your surgical history and assess your current breast anatomy. Together, you will create a customized plan that addresses your concerns while restoring natural balance and symmetry.
2. Procedure
Breast revision may involve removing or replacing implants, adjusting implant pockets, correcting scar tissue or reshaping the breast tissue. Incisions are often placed along previous scars when possible to minimize additional scarring. The approach is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
3. Recovery
Swelling, tightness and mild discomfort are common in the first week. Most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks, with exercise gradually reintroduced as healing progresses. Supportive garments help maintain comfort and shape.
4. Results
As swelling subsides, the breasts settle into a more refined, balanced and comfortable shape. The final result aims to restore confidence and harmony while addressing the concerns that brought you to revision surgery.
