Breast Implant Revision Before & After Case 589

This 35 year old requested removal and replacement of her existing saline breast implants inserted 15 years ago. Recently, the right implant had deflated and the left implant had hardened. During her initial consultation with Dr. Parker, the patient indicated she would like to replace her saline implants with somewhat larger silicone implants, would like more cleavage, and to have less fullness in the outer aspect of her breasts. During her Sizing Session, the patient determined she wanted to increase her implant size from her existing 325 cc to 375 cc. At surgery several weeks later, Dr. Parker removed the deflated implant from the right breast. On the left breast, he removed the left implant, performed a total capsulectomy on the hardened capsule, then created a neo-subpectoral pocket to accommodate the new implant expanding the pocket medially to give more cleavage and reduced the lateral pocket. . He then inserted 375 cc silicone implants into both pockets. The patient recovered quickly afterwards with very little pain and returned to full activities shortly afterwards. She is very happy with the markedly improved appearance and cleavage of her breasts as well as their very natural soft feel.
