Repeated mammoplasty is performed after a certain period. The waiting period is determined by medical indications.

If a new operation is performed in order to adjust the result of the first procedure, then it is necessary to wait six months. During this time, swelling will disappear, scars will tighten and it will become clear what needs to be corrected and to what extent. If the inserted implants are damaged or caused an inflammatory process, then the second operation is performed after a complete diagnosis, consultations with a doctor and computer modeling of the endoprosthesis. If the correction is indicated due to a sharp jump in weight, it is worth finding out the cause of the hormonal failure. You need to be examined by an endocrinologist, and only when everything becomes normal, you can contact a surgeon.

Secondary plastic surgery of the mammary glands is no different from the primary, so the contraindications are of the same nature. The procedure is not recommended if the patient has the following health problems:

• cardiovascular diseases;
• bleeding disorders;
• diabetes mellitus in a serious form;
• oncological diseases;
• the period of pregnancy and lactation;
• renal and hepatic insufficiency.

Usually, the operation is contraindicated if inflammatory processes in the breast are observed. If inflammation arose as a pathology due to the first plastic surgery, then the second operation is performed in order to eliminate inflammation.

Preparation for the operation includes consultations with a plastic surgeon, anesthesiologist, psychologist. Before the operation, the patient must pass certain tests, undergo a hardware study. During the preparatory stage, it is not recommended to use alcohol, drugs, spicy or fatty foods. It is necessary to postpone smoking, to exclude the use of hormonal drugs, including drugs that thin the blood. Rehabilitation excludes any physical activity.

Before the operation, it is worth preparing the necessary conditions for a full recovery. Preparation involves the arrangement of a comfortable bed with a bedside table, where you can place medicines. It will be advisable to stock up on food for a month - vegetables, fruits, semi-finished products of personal manufacture.

Secondary breast correction can be performed using one of the methods described below.

1. Replace the previous silicone with a new one in order to change its shape or size. This procedure is also used in case of damage to the implants.
2. Removal of the endoprosthesis allows you to remove the silicone and return to the previous size of the breast. The method of breast augmentation by transplanting one's own fat cover is becoming popular. The lipofilling procedure involves cleansing the adipose tissue, after which it is injected into the breast area.
3. Mastopexy is a method of breast lift in parallel with the replacement of endoprostheses.

Rehabilitation after secondary breast correction takes longer. During the recovery period, the patient may feel pain, tingling inside the breast, loss of sensation in the area around the nipples. As soon as the implants take their place, the unpleasant sensations will pass.

The duration of the entire recovery period depends on the complexity of the operation and the amount of intervention. Recommendations after correction are similar to the advice that girls and women receive after the initial operation:

• restriction of physical activity for up to 1 month;
• refusal of hot baths, contrast shower, solarium, sauna;
• wearing maintenance underwear for 2-4 weeks after surgery.

To avoid trouble, it is worth following the recommendations of the surgeon. Repeated breast plastic surgery requires a serious attitude - the choice of a reliable clinic and a qualified doctor. This is the key to a successful final result of the procedure.

Indications for breast arthroplasty can be medical and aesthetic.

• damage as a result of injury to the implant membrane;
• displacement or palpation of the silicone insert;
• the formation of tissue adhesions around the implant, as a result of which the tissue "capsule" compresses the silicone and causes discomfort;
• deformation or asymmetry of the breast as a result of an unsuccessful previous operation;
• changing the position of the areola.

The reason for the correction may be aesthetic indicators:

• the patient's desire to change the size of the breast or implant;
• the desire to change the shape of the breast and use anatomical silicone;
• prolapse of the mammary glands;
• the desire to replace silicone with implants with saline or vice versa;
• correction due to a sharp change in weight.
