THE PROCEDURE
Considering a Secondary Breast Augmentation procedure to address changes in breast appearance or to revise a previous augmentation? Discover what to expect when you choose Renovatio Clinic with Dr. Sofiane Rimouche for your Secondary Breast Augmentation journey:
Consultation and Evaluation: Your Secondary Breast Augmentation journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Sof. During this comprehensive assessment, Dr. Sof will listen attentively to your concerns, carefully evaluate your current breast implants, and discuss your goals for revision. He will assess factors such as implant position, symmetry, size, and overall breast appearance to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Preparation: On the day of your Secondary Breast Augmentation surgery, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility prepared for your procedure. Dr. Sof and his team will ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed before administering anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
Evaluation of Existing Implants: Dr. Sof will carefully evaluate your existing breast implants, assessing their condition, position, and any issues that may need to be addressed. He will discuss options for implant removal, replacement, or revision based on your desired outcome and individual circumstances.
Implant Exchange or Revision: Depending on your goals and the condition of your existing implants, Dr. Sof may perform an implant exchange to replace your current implants with new ones. He may also perform implant revision procedures to adjust implant position, correct asymmetry, or address other concerns.
Addressing Capsular Contracture: If you are experiencing capsular contracture (scar tissue around the implant), Dr. Sof will address this during the Secondary Breast Augmentation procedure. He may remove and replace the affected implants, perform a capsulotomy (release of scar tissue), or recommend additional treatments as needed to improve breast appearance and comfort.
Closing Incisions and Recovery: Following the procedure, Dr. Sof will carefully close the incisions using advanced techniques to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing. You’ll be closely monitored in the recovery area before being discharged with detailed post-operative instructions.

THINGS TO AVOID AFTER SECONDARY BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY
The following five steps will support your recovery
- Avoid engaging in strenuous activities such as heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or intense physical labor for several weeks following secondary breast augmentation surgery. These activities can strain the surgical incisions and impede the healing process.
- Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can interfere with the body's healing process and increase the risk of complications after secondary breast augmentation surgery. It's best to avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake during the recovery period to promote optimal healing and minimise risks.
- It's essential to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Dr. Sof after secondary breast augmentation surgery. These appointments allow Dr. Sof to monitor your progress, assess healing, and address any concerns or complications that may arise.
- Pay close attention to any signs of complications following secondary breast augmentation surgery, such as excessive swelling, redness, warmth, or drainage from the incision sites. If you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns about your recovery, contact Dr. Sof immediately for further evaluation and treatment.
- Following Dr. Sof's post-operative care instructions is crucial for a successful recovery after secondary breast augmentation surgery. This includes taking prescribed medications, wearing compression garments or surgical bras as advised, and practicing proper wound care. Ignoring these instructions can increase the risk of complications and delay healing.
