Breast Implant Revision with Breast Lift – Denver, CO | Dr. Francesco Campanile
Many patients seek the expertise of board-certified Denver plastic surgeon Dr. Francesco Campanile for breast implant revision surgery, particularly after experiencing complications or unsatisfactory results from a previous procedure. With extensive experience in complex breast surgery and implant correction, Dr. Campanile specializes in restoring natural shape, symmetry, and proper implant positioning.
This 50-year-old patient (131 lbs) previously underwent a breast augmentation with lift performed by another surgeon approximately 18 months before consulting Dr. Campanile. She was unhappy with her results and concerned about several complications, including bottoming-out implants, significant scarring, and poorly formed implant pockets that affected the overall appearance and support of her breasts.
During her consultation at Campanile Plastic Surgery in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Campanile carefully evaluated the previous surgical work and recommended comprehensive breast implant revision with breast lift correction. During surgery, he performed a capsulectomy and repaired the implant pockets by tightening the pockets both laterally and inferiorly, with more correction required on the right side due to greater structural abnormalities. He also refined the breast shape by adding a horizontal component to the lift and revised the previous surgical scars to improve overall breast contour and symmetry.
Because of the complexity of this revision case, Dr. Campanile also used Strattice™ (LifeCell), an acellular dermal matrix that helps reinforce weakened breast tissue and provide additional implant support. This material is often used in challenging revision procedures to strengthen the tissue matrix and help maintain proper implant positioning.
Despite the complexity of the surgery, Dr. Campanile was able to retain the patient’s existing 350 cc moderate-plus silicone gel implants, as they were still intact and appropriately sized for her chest dimensions.
The patient’s results show significantly improved breast position, symmetry, and contour following her breast implant revision and lift surgery in Denver. She is extremely pleased with her outcome and feels much more confident about the appearance of her breasts.
