Tara Reid, the well-known actress from films such as American Pie and Urban Legend, underwent a breast augmentation in 2006. However, due to poor results from the procedure, she had to undergo secondary corrective surgery.

In an interview with US magazine in the United States, she stated that her breasts ended up “ruined and deformed.” She was left with visible scars and nipple deformities. These negative outcomes affected both her professional and personal life—she lost roles in films and also experienced episodes of depression.

Two years later, she underwent secondary surgery to correct the effects of the initial breast augmentation. The actress had her implants replaced and underwent a breast lift procedure.

It is estimated that nearly half of all cosmetic surgeries worldwide are secondary or corrective procedures—performed to address unsatisfactory results, complications, or postoperative issues from previous surgeries.

In the case of secondary breast surgeries, these are patients who are dissatisfied with the changes caused by overly large implants and who present issues such as altered breast movement when the pectoral muscle contracts, visible scarring, asymmetries in breast shape, capsular contracture, and breast deformities.

The consequences of a cosmetic surgery with poor results can have a major impact on patients that goes far beyond the clinical aspect—their self-image and self-esteem are often diminished. It is generally recommended to wait at least 3 to 6 months before undergoing a second operation, depending on the specific case. In cases of deformities, the most important goal is to achieve a result in which the size is proportionate to the patient’s body contour and breast shape.

Natural-looking results are the key to successful cosmetic surgery, which is why it’s essential to consult a qualified and experienced surgeon.
