Patient had her initial Augmentation 18 years ago with a different physician.  She wanted Dr. Eric Schaffer to remove  her old saline implants  and replace them with larger ones to achieve more fullness and to better match her body shape.  The original implants were filled to 350 cc's and were replaced with Mentor smooth round moderate plus  implants filled to 540 cc's using her original incision site.

Breast Implant Revision to  Remove and Replace Saline Implants

This patient had non-round saline breast implants placed by another surgeon. The breast implants had rotated. The patient's breast implants were changed to round Silicone breast implants and an internal pocket modification was performed to correct the breast implant pocket shape. Breast augmentation. Breast implants.

Breast Implant Rotation

1 year result of breast revision surgery. The previous surgeon placed smaller implants in the left breast under the muscle and over the muscle in the right breast (incorrect). Implants were removed, larger implants were both placed under the muscle.

Our patient is a 56-year-old Middle Eastern female who weighed 139 lbs and came to Dr. Timothy Katzen two years after her original breast augmentation because her right breast began to feel tight and look less natural from a thickened scar tissue capsule around the implant. Dr. Katzen recommended a right breast capsulectomy, a breast implant revision procedure that removes the hardened capsule to allow the breast to soften, move more naturally, and regain better symmetry. Under general anesthesia, he reopened the prior incision so scar placement remained as discreet as possible, then carefully separated and removed the abnormal capsule from around the implant. This capsule can act like a shrink wrap layer, changing breast shape and making the implant feel firm. Once the restrictive scar tissue was removed, Dr. Katzen refined the implant pocket, confirmed that the implant was properly seated, and shaped the surrounding tissue so that the breast contour appeared smooth rather than pulled. The tissues were closed in multiple layers to reduce tension, support healing, and improve scar quality. After surgery, a supportive bra and activity guidance help swelling settle and protect the repair while the breast softens over time. These photos were taken 2 months after surgery, and her results are remarkable, showing a softer-looking right breast, improved balance between sides, and a more natural breast augmentation shape as healing continues.

Targeted Right Capsulectomy to Restore Softness in Breast Augmentation Revision

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

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.

This patient had a breast augmentation from another surgeon and develop a severe deformity. I revised her augmentation by revising her breast augmentation. We removed her old implants and implant capsules. I developed a new pocket under the chest muscle as the old implants were placed above her muscle and had developed scar tissue which moved her right implant up and out.

1 week post breast implant exchange left IMF repair. Patient went from 385 SRF to 695 SRF.
