Can breast augmentation wrinkles be corrected?

In general, wrinkles that occur after breast augmentation can be restored, but if the wrinkles are severe or persistent, patients should seek medical attention promptly.

Breast augmentation is a common cosmetic procedure aimed at improving breast shape and size by implanting silicone or other materials. However, postoperative wrinkling is not uncommon and may be caused by improper implant placement, inadequate postoperative care, individual physical differences, and other factors. Wrinkling not only affects aesthetics but may also cause psychological stress. However, in most cases, this condition can be improved or even completely resolved.

Patients should immediately contact the surgeon who performed the procedure and provide a detailed description of their condition. The doctor may recommend a follow-up examination to assess the severity and cause of the wrinkling. If the wrinkles are temporary, waiting for a period of time may suffice, as they may naturally disappear once the body adjusts to the implants. However, if the wrinkles are severe or persistent, revision surgery may be required. Revision surgery typically involves removing the existing implants, repositioning them, or replacing them with new implants to achieve a more natural and smooth result.

After surgery, patients should avoid strenuous activities to prevent interference with wound healing and breast shape recovery. Additionally, maintaining proper sleeping posture and avoiding prolonged pressure on the chest is important to reduce discomfort.
