Description: Revision breast surgery is a fairly common procedure. This book highlights the problems encountered following aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast. Each chapter includes a pictorial analysis of the problem, stressing the etiology and also suggesting how the problem could have been avoided initially if possible. An analysis of each case then discusses the plan for revision surgery and details the actual procedure with the post operative outcomes.
