This patient had undergone multiple prior surgeries by other physicians, with the most recent surgery being performed by a non-plastic surgeon who released her right chest muscle from its natural attachments causing the flexion deformity and severe malposition noted in the photos.
During surgery, I exchanged the implants from saline to silicone, removed the old scar tissue, and performed pocket reconstruction with resuturing of the pectoralis muscle to its original insertions. I also used Strattice (an acellular dermal matrix) to reinforce the central repairs, and to also act as a lower breast sling (internal bra) to support the implants. Finally, I performed a tightening around the areolas to improve the areolar positions, size and symmetry.
*Please note I also performed a modified abdominoplasty due to a large upper abdominal scar from a childhood surgery.
