BEFORE: 29 year-old female, 5'6" 112 lbs, with pre-existing asymmetry. She had a saline breast augmentation in the early 1990's by a Beverly Hills plastic, and developed a deflation of the left breast implant (which occurs in a small percentage of patients although hers resulted from an automobile accident). Also, note the narrowing of her right breast from the first surgery.
AFTER: 8 months post-operative, removal of Saline implants and replaced with 350cc high profile Silicone gel implants, to mid C cup breasts
COMMENTS: This patient’s immediate concern was the deflated implant in her left breast, but she also wanted her right breast shape improved because it was somewhat narrow and flat towards the middle. This surgery was somewhat more challenging because she waited several weeks after the deflation to see me. Switching to the high profile Silicone gel implant gave her a more natural look, which is why this implant is gaining in popularity with women who have a narrow upper torso.
