45-54 year old woman treated with Breast Implant Removal

This patient presented with several concerns, including breast asymmetry, with one breast larger than the other, and a desire for smaller implants. She also expressed frustration with persistent weight retention in the mid to lower abdomen. Her preoperative diagnosis included excess abdominal skin, rectus diastasis, flank and trunk lipodystrophy, aging breast implants, breast hypoplasia, and breast asymmetry. After a thorough consultation and evaluation, Dr. Delatte proceeded with a comprehensive surgical plan that included a full abdominoplasty, bilateral breast implant exchange, trunk and flank liposuction, and combined fat removal from the axilla.The breast implants were exchanged for saline implants, with 325cc placed in the left breast and 300cc in the right breast to address asymmetry and achieve a more balanced, natural appearance. To improve the abdominal contour, a full abdominoplasty was performed to remove excess skin, tighten the abdominal muscles, and correct the rectus diastasis. Liposuction was performed to address localized fat deposits, removing 1150cc of fat from the left flank and back, 1200cc from the right flank and back, and 1050cc from the abdomen. An additional 350cc of fat was removed from the axillary region to create a smoother, more defined overall contour.

A softer, more natural breast shape is often possible after implant revision surgery when painful capsular contracture is properly treated. Our patient is a 44-year-old Asian female who previously had bilateral breast augmentation and later developed bilateral painful breasts because of capsular contracture around her saline implants. She came to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen seeking the removal of the bilateral saline breast implants, bilateral capsulectomies, and replacing them with silicone implants. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen performed this breast revision procedure by removing the old implants, surgically excising the scar tissue capsules surrounding them, and placing new silicone breast implants to improve comfort, contour, and softness. With breast implant surgeries, capsular contracture happens when the natural scar tissue around an implant becomes tight and constricting, which can cause pain, firmness, and distortion. A capsulectomy is performed to remove that problematic scar tissue so the breasts can be reconstructed more healthily. Silicone implants were chosen to provide a smoother, more natural-looking, and natural-feeling result. Her photos were taken 1 month after surgery and already show remarkable early improvement in breast shape, symmetry, and softness. She is also relieved of most of her pain, making her outcome a beautiful example of how revision breast augmentation can improve both function and appearance.

Breast Augmentation & Capsulectomy to Treat Painful Breast Capsular Contracture

When a silicone implant rupture is discovered, many patients want to address it before bigger problems develop. Our patient is a 45-year-old White female who previously had silicone breast implants placed in 2007. After an MRI revealed a small rupture in one of her implants, she sought Dr. J. Timothy Katzen immediately for a silicone implant removal and a breast lift. Her goal was to remove the implants from her breasts to reduce the risk of future complications and reshape the breasts for a more lifted and natural appearance. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen removed the silicone implants and then performed a breast lift to improve the contour of the natural tissue. This combination procedure is often helpful because, after an implant removal, the skin and breast tissue may not return to an ideal position on their own. A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, removes extra skin, tightens the breast shape, and elevates the breast mound to create a smoother, firmer result. For patients with ruptured implants, silicone implant removal with mastopexy can offer both peace of mind and a cosmetic improvement. Removing ruptured implants and lifting the tissue can improve comfort and breast contour. It allows the patient to move forward without the damaged implants while still maintaining an elegant and youthful breast shape. These photos were taken 4 months after surgery and show our patients remarkable result.
