Breast Revision 02a

Description:

Breast augmentation revision: 4’11” 120 lb. 34C lady after augmentation elsewhere 9 years prior. Breast augmentation sub muscular with saline PIP breast implants.

L side was noted to be deflating in the shower after going for a run days prior to consultation. (“PIP” pre-filled saline implants from France or Poly Implant Prosthesis implant shells were high temperature vulcanized that made them softer but more abrasive. They are now are known to deflate much more frequently. The FDA took them off the US market May 2000. Current saline manufacturing uses room temperature vulcanization techniques so the shell lasts much longer.)

She wished a little smaller breast volume than the 325 cc originally placed on each side. A natural look was desired so no breast lift was performed. Silicone implants were selected. Intermediate profile was chosen consistent with her breast measurements. Her original breast tissue was palpated to be larger on the now deflated L side. 225 cc smooth gel implant was selected for the slightly smaller R breast and 200 cc gel for the slightly larger L.

Post op photos taken 3 months after her surgery. She “loved it” and is “really happy” with her smaller size and ongoing “natural” appearance. She could still wear many of her 34C brassieres although some 34C now too loose. She noticed her nipple sensitivity had increased.
