This lovely 36 year old woman is seen about 6 months after immediate reconstruction with implants - performed after her diagnosis of breast cancer was made. Skin and nipple/areolar sparing mastectomies were performed and anatomical expanders were placed at the initial procedure which were later exchanged for 700cc permanent silicone gel implants. At another stage, living fat grafts were placed to further contour the breasts, which allowed subtle irregularities from the mastectomy to be improved! She went from her original C to her desired D cup breast. Reconstruction of the nipple and areola was not necessary since her original nipple-areolar complex was preserved during the original surgery. Excellent symmetry is observed and no implant problems are seen.
