Breast Implant Correction

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 35

35 year old with right saline implant deflation. 6 weeks postop following implant exchange for gel implants and capsulotomy.

Before treatment, she has a right saline deflation and a left capsular contracture. After corrective surgery, with implant relocation under the pectoral muscle, her appearance is greatly improved.

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 52

The photograph on the left shows her pre-operative appearance. Surgical correction required opening up of the pocket and evacuation of the hematoma. She had quite a good result at six weeks postop (right) and has not required any further revisions.

Secondary Implant Correction

I removed her saline implants on both sides and opened up her tight pockets. Capsular contracture can contribute to deflation, as it can cause a peripheral fold with a weak point—the “fold flaw phenomenon” — which then creates a pinpoint hole causing the fluid to leak out.

Secondary Implant Correction

The photos above show the patient before (left), and after replacement with a smaller gel implant (right). Note that while she is smaller after surgery, she also is less droopy.

Secondary Implant Correction

Her photo above left shows her preoperative appearance. I removed her saline implants and the surrounding scar tissue, and replaced them with “gummy bear” implants using a “dual plane” approach—under the pectoral muscle above, under breast tissue below.

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 47

47 year old 9 years after saline implant placement in the subpectoral position. Implant migration has occurred; they sit way too low. Lower crease fixation was needed to close the excess pocket space. Gel implants have better upper pole fullness.

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 44

44 year old had silicone implants placed within the breast tissue 22 years ago. Change of implant profile: a moderate profile implant converted to subpectoral position solved the shape problem.

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 48

48 year old with left saline deflation and right bottoming out, before surgery. After surgery, a beautiful rounded shape was achieved with gel implants.

While top training and many years of experience are the basis for these excellent results, all of the staff’s caring attitude and high level of attention to detail also contribute to the consistently good outcomes that patients have come to expect.

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 42

42 year old had submammary implants put in elsewhere
Severe capsular contracture
Unattractive appearance

2 months following implant removal and replacement
Dual plane –under the pectoral muscle

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 46

46 year old with severe asymmetry; previous surgery in Denver

2 months after implant removal and replacement plus RF assisted lift

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 32

32 year old had breast implants 5 years ago, thought they were too full and protuberant

6 weeks after replacement with less broad, lower profile implants.

Secondary Implant Correction

Age: 42

42 year old had saline implants 9 years ago
Problem: right bottoming out, left implant deflation

Her solution:
a. Bilateral saline implant removal
b. Implant replacement with cohesive gel “gummy bear” implants
c. Pocket and skin correction: tighter right, opened up on left.
