Very friendly and helpful staff. Made me feel welcomed. I highly recommend Renuance. I will definitely be going back myself.

If I could give a million stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would. From the very beginning everything went smoothly. The beautiful ladies at the front are so sweet and kind. Vinny is super intelligent, thoughtful and amazing! Dr Ford is experienced, magnificent, kind,wonderful!!!!! My expectations were exceeded. Thank you!!!!!!For putting up with me. :)

I am highly impressed and satisfied with Dr. Ford and her team. Dr. Ford is kind, compassionate, very detailed and has always been there when I've needed her. I'm only into week 3 post opp-approaching week 4 in 2 days. But I have been through a lot in the 3 weeks, and had to see her on emergency visits and she was there every time without hesitation. As far as my procedure went, like I said , I just got my surgical tape off, and am still healing, so I don't really know what to say about the looks. But at the stage I'm in, I'm very satisfied thus far. The nurse, Jacquline is very sweet and patient. She's always gentle and welcoming . Maggie , at the front desk…. Well what can we say about her, other than she's the best! Always smiling and ready to approach you with warmth! Vinnie, the financial advisor/manager, is also the best at working with the cost and payments! I can't say enough how blessed I am to have landed here for my Breast Surgery.

My entire experience with Dr Ford and her staff at Renuance was AMAZING. I had gone to two other consults at other places and don't even understand how those places get patients when you have a place like Renuance and a doctor like Dr Ford. All the ladies at the front are amazing and so sweet. And then there's Jacob, I think he's like the doctors right hand, and let me tell you this guy knows his stuff and has to have the best phone voice I've ever heard and has the answers to all your questions. Also no one was ever like forcing things on me or trying to get me to buy more or doing the whole salesperson thing. Everything was completely up to me and they were just there for perfect guidance. The day of the surgery went perfectly and was done before I knew it. And during the healing process I had and incident where I was very worried and I called the after hours line and Dr Ford got right back to me that same night and put me at ease and explained that it was common and I didn't have to worry. As far as my actual implant they are even more perfect than I could imagine, they actually look more natural than I even thought was possible and I'm so happy with the results. THANKS DR FORD AND EVERYONE AT RENUANCE !

The service was impeccable and I love the staff. The work done was the best I could have ever received, the time and special care was noticed. I appreciated the personal care that was taken to make me feel calm and comfortable so I never felt anxious or apprehensive. The care involved continues after the procedures were finished and it makes me feel the services were not just all about the money! My surgery was more complicated so I have to say the finished result was the best part, I was more than surprised how good the work turned out

Having any kind of surgery is scary but the doctor and his staff all made it as pleasant as possible. They treat you like family!

Dr appeared to be sincere in trying to fix the problem. And confirmed what I thought needed to be done.

Dr. Ford is wonderful! She is so genuine and attentive. Dr. Ford and her staff eased my nerves on the day of surgery. They are all so kind and professional. My recovery was fast with minimal pain and discomfort. My results are amazing and far better than I imagined! My procedure was truly life changing for me. I'm so thankful for Dr. Ford.

Dr Ford made me feel so comfortable. The staff treats you like family. My nurse, Kristen Juve was amazing. I have already recommended this place to others. I only regret not doing my procedure sooner.

I had known of two people who used this doctor so that helps with my decision. We have had other medical issues come up so I might have to delay.

Your Breast Implant Revision Experience at Renuance in Temecula & Murrieta

Phone screening

Considering breast implant revision? Get informed from the comfort of your home. During a free 20-30 minute call, you’ll speak with our surgical coordinator about the procedure and receive a transparent price range upfront. This isn’t a sales call – it’s your opportunity to gather information without the obligation to schedule a consultation.

1:1 consultation

When you come in for your visit, you’ll see the same person you talked to on the phone. They’ll go over what you discussed before you meet the doctor. You’ll then have a thorough conversation (about 30-45 minutes) with one of our breast implant revision surgeons about what you want to achieve.

After you’ve finished talking with the doctor, your coordinator will give you the price quote. Don’t worry – it’ll be within the range you heard about on the phone. You’ll leave with a treatment plan, and if you’re ready, we can even set a date for your procedure right then and there.

Procedure

On your surgery day, you’ll have a designated parking spot right by our private entrance. Once you’re inside, our team will take you to a quiet area, away from other patients. Then, you’ll get changed into a gown in your private changing room.

How long your procedure takes depends on what you’ve chosen. If you’re just having your implants removed (explantation), it might be quicker. If you’re getting new implants (an exchange), it could take a bit longer. Your doctor will let you know what to expect for your specific case.

Your procedure will take place in our fully-equipped operating room, with an anesthesiologist present throughout. Afterward, you’ll recover in our private on-site facility under professional nursing care.

Body Contouring FAQ

How do I know if I need a breast implant revision?

You might need a revision if you’re experiencing discomfort, changes in breast shape, hardening of the breasts, or if you’re simply unhappy with how your implants look. Signs that it’s time for a revision include pain, asymmetry, visible rippling, or changes in implant position. If you’re concerned, it’s best to come in for an evaluation.

Will my breast implant revision hurt more than my initial surgery?

Many patients find that revision surgery is less painful than their original procedure. However, everyone’s experience is different. We use advanced pain management techniques to keep you comfortable during and after surgery. Most patients describe the discomfort as manageable with prescribed pain medication.

How long is the recovery after breast implant revision?

Recovery time can vary, but most patients return to light activities within a week and resume normal routines after 2-3 weeks. Full recovery, including returning to strenuous exercise, typically takes about 6 weeks. We’ll provide you with a detailed recovery timeline based on your specific procedure.

Can I go bigger (or smaller) with my implants during revision?

Yes, many patients use revision surgery as an opportunity to change their implant size. We can help you choose a size that better fits your current aesthetic goals and lifestyle. Keep in mind that significant size changes might require additional techniques like a breast lift to ensure the best results.

Will insurance cover my breast implant revision?

Insurance coverage depends on the reason for revision. If it’s due to a medical issue like capsular contracture or implant rupture, insurance may cover part of the cost. Revisions for cosmetic reasons are typically not covered. We can help you understand your coverage and discuss financing options during your consultation.

I've heard about 'en bloc' capsule removal. Is this necessary for all revisions?

En bloc removal, where the implant and surrounding capsule are removed as one unit, isn’t necessary for all revisions. We’ll discuss whether this technique is appropriate for your situation during your consultation.

How long do revised implants last?

While implants don’t have an expiration date, they’re not considered lifetime devices. Many patients find their revised implants last 10-15 years or more. Regular check-ups and imaging studies can help monitor your implants’ condition over time.

Can I have my implants removed without replacing them?

Absolutely. This is called explantation. If you choose this option, we’ll discuss whether additional procedures like a breast lift might be beneficial to address any sagging that occurs after implant removal. Our goal is to ensure you’re happy with your results, with or without implants.

I'm nervous about surgery again. How can I ensure better results this time?

It’s natural to feel nervous but remember that revision surgery benefits from the experience of your first procedure. We’ll take time to understand what you didn’t like about your previous results and use advanced techniques to address those issues. Clear communication about your goals, choosing an experienced surgeon, and following all pre- and post-operative instructions will help ensure better results.

How soon after my original breast augmentation can I have a revision?

While there’s no set rule, we typically recommend waiting at least 6 months to a year after your initial surgery before considering a revision. This allows time for swelling to fully resolve and for your implants to settle into their final position. However, if you’re experiencing complications, we may recommend revision sooner.
