Reasons for Breast augmentation revision?

The main reason for choosing to undergo a breast augmentation revision is to go bigger and increase the size of breasts with implants. Other reasons include:

Correct previous breast augmentation
Opting for a larger implant to increase breast size
Breast asymmetry
Pain from Capsular Contracture
A shift in the position of the implant
Unhappy with the size and shape from previous breast augmentation

Lifestyle choices may impact the decision to undergo breast augmentation revision such as wanting bigger-sized breasts due to droopiness or age. Many people may have originally chosen a larger-sized implant when having breast implant surgery but maybe want to change the implant size to a smaller size. This is possible when performed by a professional and qualified plastic surgeon.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a minor surgery on my leg done by Dr. Bashir, and I can’t recommend him enough.  He’s incredibly kind, gracious and immediately puts you at ease.  Highly skilled, knowledgeable and charismatic to boot - he made the whole process as “enjoyable” as surgery can be.  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had some medically necessary work done by Dr. Bashir and he is an amazing surgeon with an incredible bedside manner. He is humble, intelligent, a scholar and a gentleman. His skills are truly spectacular and his knowledge is top notch. He always has a smile and he will put you at ease when you see him. He explains everything he's planning on doing and executes his plan accordingly. He's an excellent communicator and was extremely patient with me. We are very lucky to have him in Vancouver and without a doubt, I would highly recommend him.

Update: Saw Dr. Bashir for my post-op work and again, he was exceptional in his bedside manner. He was happy with the work he did and the healing taking place. Asked him a few questions and he was, again, his patience was evident. His skill as a surgeon is just truly amazing but more so he is truly a good person.

Update #2: I saw Dr. Bashir for the final time to finish off the post-op checkup. One word comes to mind when describing Dr. Bashir: humility. The good doctor his not only intelligent, smart, competent, and caring but he exemplifies humility. I am sincerely humbled by the fact that I was referred to Dr. Bashir and I stand by my previous words to describe him. We are extremely lucky to have him here and without a doubt, I would and have recommended Dr. Bashir.

Kavita answered my millions of questions with a smile and was on the ball and Dr. Bashir  did good work, re-assuring me and making it a very pleasant experience. Now I  just can't get addicted to getting work done :P

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Bashir operated on one of my family members, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Thankfully, Dr. Bashir encountered the cancer once before in his career, a testament to his experience. The surgery (we waited just weeks for availability) was successful and the cancer was removed. Dr. Bashir was thorough and sent matter for laboratory analysis in case microscopic amounts remained. At his office he was kind and answered questions in detail. We are grateful for his professionalism and skill.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly could not be happier with my results! I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bashir and the results are even better than I imagined. I am extremely particular about my body and did my research for this surgery I had been wanting for ten years. When I finally met Dr. Bashir I knew instantly that it was going to be a good fit. He understood exactly what I wanted and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I would 100000% do this surgery over again and choose Dr. Bashir every time! Recovery was easy and he made what could have been a nerve racking experience actually exciting and enjoyable. Could not possible have gone any better than it did. I definitely recommend using him! He’s AMAZING!!!!!
