Breast Implant Revision
50 year old, Female, 132 lbs, 5' 6", Fair skin tone
This 50 year old woman presented with deformities to both breasts as a result of migration and capsular contracture of silicone gel implants placed by another surgeon in 1986. Unfortunately, the patient also had severe ptosis (drooping), asymmetry revealing a much larger right breast, and a pre-existing breast constriction (incomplete development/narrowing of the breast) and would have probably benefited from a breast lift at the original surgery rather than the placement of implants alone. The original implants were ruptured but were contained within the capsule - which was also totally removed. She had absolutely no problems related to the ruptured implants. After a mastopexy (lift), the right breast was filled with a McGhan style 40 260cc smooth, round, gel implant and a 320 cc implant was used on the left after removal of the scar tissue and reconstruction of the implant pockets. She went from a B to a C cup. Mild assymetry is still noted but is related to the severe breast constriction (narrowing) what she was born with.

Breast Implant Revision Photos - Angle 1
Details: As can be seen in the photos, a marked difference between the breast fold on the right and left sides is seen. Despite expansion and release, some asymmetry remains as the fold of the right breast will always be higher than the left despite surgical correction. The result is, however, a dramatic improvement from the initial condition and clothes are no longer a problem. Most patients in this situation are extremely happy and never undergo any revisions.

Details: Drooping and fold discepancy can be seen quite well in the before view. The scars are fading well and are usually completely faded at one year. |
