54 year old female from Hollywood, Florida 5 months after exchange of implants to smaller size with capsulectomies and a breast lift (mastopexy) performed by Dr Sam Gershenbaum. She presented with subglandular 550cc implants, ruptured on the left as well as Baker III capsular contracture and sagging of her breasts. Her breasts were hard and uncomfortable. Full intact capsulectomies were performed with exchange of implants to 330cc placed now under the muscle along with a bilateral breast lift. The photo shows her ruptured implant along with very calcified capsules.  Now, five months later, her breasts are soft, comfortable and a more appropriate size. Her scars are healing excellent and will continue to fade over the months ahead. She is extremely happy with her results.

Removal and replacement of breast implants with capsulectomy. This patient came to see us after multiple failed attempts to fix her breasts. She had a painful and distorting Baker IV capsular contracture which had recurred with every attempt and fixing this difficult problem. I performed a unique procedure where I used an acellular dermal matrix (ACDM)/Strattice to act as an spacer to prevent recurrence of the capsule. Without the ACDM the capsule is very likely to recur. In addition I used a new Motive Silk Surface implant which has the lowest incidence of capsular contracture. Finally I placed her on Singular which also prevents capsular contracture. She not only looks better but feels much better too.

Before and after breast augmentation REVISION:  This patient had breast augmentation by another surgeon and had asymmetry.  She wanted more symmetric breasts and volume.  I did a breast augmentation REVISION:  removed her old implants.  Repaired her implant pocket using sutures placed to raise the inframmary breast crease (breast fold) which I reinforced with Galaflex mesh which is  also called an internal bra.  I replaced her implants  with a silicone gel gummy bear SOFT TOUCH 415cc full profile implant.

Breast augmentation REVISION.  This patient had a deforming Grade III capsular contracture.  I did a breast augmentation revision.  I took out her old implants which were leaking.  I also did a full capsulectomy to remove the capsule/scar tissue around the implants.   I replaced the implants with a new generation silicone gel soft touch 335cc full profile implant.  I also repaired the implant pocket to support the implant and keep it centered exactly behind the breast tissue.  Her old implants were very hard to the touch and the new implants are soft and pliable.

38-year-old woman treated with Capsular Contracture Treatment

This patient was experiences tightness and discomfort from her breast implants. Dr. Leveque thought it was time for the implants to be replaced since they have created a capsular contracture over the decade. Once a breast implant is in place, fibrous scar tissue forms around it, creating a tissue capsule. The body forms a protective capsule like this around any object it recognizes as foreign. The tissue capsule is usually soft or slightly firm, not noticeable, and helps to keep the implant in place. In some women, a tissue capsule forms that is unusually hard and dense. The capsule tightens around and squeezes the implant. This condition, called capsular contracture, can cause chronic pain and distortion in the shape of the breast, and it can make the breast rise higher on the chest.
