How to Choose a Surgeon for Breast Implant Revision Seattle

Author : Mathew Owens | Published On : 22 Oct 2026

Revision is technically more demanding than primary augmentation. The surgeon must work with scar tissue, stretched pockets, thinned skin, and sometimes a previous surgeon's decisions. Choosing carefully is the single most important step.

What to verify before scheduling breast implant revision Seattle:

• Board certification relevant to cosmetic or plastic surgery

• Accredited surgical facility (JCAHO, AAAASF, or AAAHC)

• Specific experience with revision cases, not just first-time augmentation

• Before-and-after photos of revision patients with similar issues

• Clear communication about risks, alternatives, and realistic outcomes

Warning: Credentials matter. Ask which board certified the surgeon and whether the surgical facility is accredited.

Seattle Plastic Surgery offers two experienced options. Dr. Craig Jonov is a board certified cosmetic surgeon (American Board of Cosmetic Surgery) who completed fellowships in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and operates a fully JCAHO-accredited facility in Lynnwood. Dr. Tarak Patel is a double board certified plastic surgeon, a West Point graduate, and a retired Army Colonel with extensive reconstructive training.

For Seattle breast augmentation revision, meet the surgeon in person and choose the one you trust most.
