54 year old; ruptured gel implants. These were replaced with smaller implants, plus scarless lift.

This woman had gel implants put in over 20 years ago. Five years ago she noted her implants were too large, but she did not have a procedure done. In 2016 she came in with severe pain on the right and a bilateral capsular contracture. Her implants were removed and replaced with smaller subpectoral Mentor smooth round moderate profile cohesive gels. She had grade II ptosis pre-operatively. By using smaller implants, her skin and soft tissue would droop even more. She requested a scarless lift for purposes of risk reduction, less down time, and a better long term cosmetic appearance.
