This 48-year-old mother of one underwent
breast augmentation eight or
nine years ago. Some asymmetry resulted from that procedure, and the
right breast was smaller than the left. Her bra size was 34C. She
wanted to stay the same size, but have better symmetry. Her most
recent mammogram was normal.
Examination showed some mild breast ptosis (sagging). When she was
lying flat, you could do see some wrinkling and folds in the saline
implants, which had been placed on top of the muscle. The implants
also were somewhat firm.
We removed the saline implants and replaced them with textured
silicone gel implants placed above the muscle. A lift procedure was
performed on both breasts, leaving the scar around the areola. A 325
cc implant was placed on the right side, and a 300 cc implant was
placed on the left side. The surgery was performed under general
anesthesia as an outpatient.
Her recovery was smooth. Because of her previous breast
augmentation, she had a quicker recovery. The scars around the areola
healed beautifully. She is a full C to D cup. She has excellent
shape and symmetry, and the breasts have remained soft for three
years. Her photographs show her result at six weeks, seven months,
one year, and three years.
