Breast Reconstruction
Beverly Hills, CA

Confidence, Carefully Reconstructed

Why Choose Nazarian Plastic Surgery to Perfect Your Breast Reconstruction?

You’ve already been through the hard part, the diagnosis, the surgery, the healing. And yet, you're still left feeling like something isn’t quite right. Maybe it’s the way your top fits. Maybe it’s the asymmetry you notice in photos. Maybe it’s the rippling, the scarring, or the shape that just doesn’t feel like you. You’re not asking for perfection. You just want to feel like your reflection reflects yourself again.

At Nazarian Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, we specialize in addressing the details that were missed or misunderstood the first time around with breast reconstruction. Dr. Sheila Nazarian, a board-certified plastic surgeon, brings expertise, precision, and compassion to every case. Whether you're looking to correct rippling, refine scars, improve breast symmetry, or restore nipple projection, Dr. Nazarian works closely with you to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.

Breast Reconstruction At A Glance

This Is How We Rebuild

What Is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction typically follows a mastectomy or lumpectomy and aims to rebuild the breast shape. But while many women complete that phase through this surgery, not all are fully satisfied with the results.

At Nazarian Plastic Surgery, we don’t perform the initial reconstructive surgery, but we do help women who have already undergone breast reconstruction and are still experiencing cosmetic or functional concerns. Through revision procedures, we fine-tune breast shape, projection, symmetry, scarring, and skin quality to create a more natural appearance and a better reflection of your body and preferences. We offer three primary breast reconstruction refinement options:

  • Implant Adjustment & Rippling Correction: Revising implant placement, switching implant type, or using fat grafting to smooth visible rippling and achieve better contour.
  • Scar Revision & Symmetry Correction: Improving the appearance of scarring or adjusting one or both breasts to enhance symmetry in size, shape, or position.
  • Nipple Projection & Aesthetic Enhancements: Techniques to improve nipple projection, pigmentation, or placement when desired.

These refinements are about getting you closer to your version of whole, not starting over, just getting it right.

The Quiet Power of Refinement

Breast Reconstruction Benefits

Choosing to revise a previous breast reconstruction is often about the small details that make a big difference. It’s not about undoing what’s been done, it’s about refining it so you feel more aligned with your own body.

When considering a procedure for breast reconstruction Beverly Hills patients can expect the benefits to include:

  • Improves symmetry and balance between the breasts
  • Corrects visible rippling or implant irregularities
  • Softens or conceals scarring from previous surgery
  • Enhances or restores nipple projection and appearance
  • Helps clothing fit more comfortably and naturally
  • Refines the overall shape and position of the reconstructed breast
  • Supports a renewed sense of confidence and body connection

If your original reconstruction left you feeling unresolved or dissatisfied, you are not alone, and you have options.

If And When You're Ready

Breast Reconstruction Candidates

Dr. Nazarian sees patients who have already undergone breast reconstruction, sometimes recently, sometimes years ago. You may be a candidate for breast reconstruction surgery if:

  • You’re unhappy with the symmetry, shape, or size of your reconstructed breasts
  • You experience visible rippling or implant irregularities
  • You have scarring that is raised, textured, or unusually placed
  • You would like improved nipple projection, pigmentation, or balance
  • You are in good general health and not currently undergoing active cancer treatment

Every patient’s needs are different. Some want subtle refinements, while others are looking for more significant changes. Dr. Nazarian takes time to listen to your concerns and understand what matters to you.

Planning The Path Forward

Consultation and Preparation

Your consultation at our Los Angeles office is a conversation, not a commitment. Dr. Nazarian will take the time to understand your surgical history, aesthetic goals, and what feels unresolved about your initial reconstruction. Together, we’ll explore personalized options that fit your anatomy, lifestyle, and comfort level.

Depending on your needs, surgical recommendations may include:

  • Scar revision or skin smoothing
  • Implant exchange or repositioning
  • Fat grafting to soften contours or mask rippling
  • Nipple aesthetic enhancement

Preparation may involve:

  • Temporarily stopping certain medications
  • Arranging time and support for your recovery

This process is fully tailored to your goals. For patients traveling from out of town, our team can assist with lodging, post-op care, and accommodations to make your visit seamless and supportive.

Inside The Fine-Tuning Process

Your Breast Reconstruction Procedure

Dr. Nazarian’s breast reconstruction procedures focus exclusively on refinement, not full reconstruction following mastectomy. These surgeries are highly individualized and designed to address specific cosmetic or structural concerns left from the initial reconstruction.

Common techniques may include:

  • Implant Exchange or Repositioning: Replacing existing implants to adjust size, shape, or feel, or repositioning them to reduce asymmetry or correct rippling.
  • Fat Grafting: Transferring fat from another part of your body (such as the abdomen or thighs) to smooth irregularities, fill volume gaps, or enhance contour.
  • Scar Revision: Carefully minimizing the appearance of scars from previous surgeries through surgical excision, laser resurfacing, or skin-tightening techniques.
  • Nipple Revision: Improving the projection, symmetry, or placement of reconstructed nipples.

Procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia. Depending on your treatment plan, surgery may take between one to four hours. Recovery time and healing expectations will vary based on the type and extent of refinement performed.

Let’s Care For Your New Shape

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Though breast reconstruction revision may involve less recovery than initial surgery, your healing process still matters. Most patients return to light activity within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking a few weeks longer. What to expect:

  • Swelling and bruising are common and temporary
  • A compression garment or surgical bra may be recommended
  • Pain is typically mild to moderate and managed with medication
  • Scar care, hydration, and follow-up visits support optimal healing

Dr. Nazarian and her team will monitor your progress and ensure you’re healing safely and comfortably. If fat grafting was performed, your body will absorb some of the transferred fat. Additional sessions may be discussed if needed.

Risks may include minor asymmetry, infection, or the need for future touch-ups, but our goal is always natural-looking, satisfying, and long-lasting results.

Cost of Breast Reconstruction Revision

Because this type of revision is cosmetic and not considered part of initial cancer treatment, these procedures are not covered by insurance. Breast reconstruction cost may vary based on:

  • The number and type of procedures needed
  • Surgical complexity and materials (such as new implants)
  • Facility, anesthesia, and post-op care

During your consultation, our team will provide a personalized quote. Flexible payment plans are available for those who qualify.
