Breast Reconstruction Case 9514

Treatment performed: Breast Reconstruction

Description

Before and After Breast Reconstruction. The 28-year-old patient had breast enlargement at another practice and presented with a complaint of "uni-boob"/symmastia breast deformity and palpable implants. Her previous augmentation was accomplished by the placement of subglandular saline implants. Her normal cleavage was violated by the aggressive creation of her sub-glandular implant pocket. She desired removal of her saline implants, correction of the symmastia and capsular contracture, and finally reaugmentation with silicone gel implants. Photos are three months post-operative. Bilateral saline implants were removed. Bilateral capsulotomy/capsulectomy correction of capsular contractures in subglandular pocket. Reconstruction of normal cleavage/correction of symmastia by placement of internal permanent stitches. Implant pocket converted to dual plane pocket (partial submuscular). 400cc Mentor smooth round, Moderate Profile Plus, silicone gel implants were placed.
