This woman in her late twenties was interested in an implant removal. She met with Dr. Tucker to discuss her desired appearance and she chose to proceed with an explant, breast lift, and fat injections to the breasts. She has good size, shape, and symmetry and is pictured before and one month afterwards.

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.

Breast Implant Removal and Breast Lift for Ruptured Silicone Implant Repair

Breast implant revision can help patients who are unhappy with the shape, position, or overall appearance of older implants. Our patient is a 40-year-old White female who came to Dr. Katzen because she did not like how her breast implants looked and wanted them replaced with new implants. Dr. Katzen recommended breast augmentation combined with a breast lift to improve both volume and position. She was placed under general anesthesia for surgery. During the procedure, Dr. Katzen removed her existing implants and replaced them with new breast implants. He also performed a breast lift to raise and reshape the breast tissue, improve nipple position, and create a more youthful breast contour. Breast augmentation with lift surgery is often recommended when implants alone cannot correct drooping, stretched skin, or a low breast position. This combination helps refresh the breasts by improving fullness, shape, and support simultaneously. Her photos were taken 4 years after surgery, and our patient achieved remarkable results. Most importantly, she feels more confident in her new body. This case shows how breast implant replacement, breast lift surgery, and breast revision can work together to create a smoother, lifted, and more proportional result. Dr. Katzen customized the surgery to address her implant concerns while improving the overall shape of her breasts. The goal was a refreshed breast contour that looked balanced and proportional to her body.
