The Effect of Large Implant on Breasts - Video

Our patient has presented to us for implant removal and breast lift. She has 400 CC silicone implants that were placed 17 years ago. She has a short scar for it and has never had a breast lift. She wants to be smaller going from a double D to a full C cup size. Her breasts are very low on her chest since the implant was too large and the breast tissue has stretched to fit it. This resulted in the whole breast unit becoming wider, flatter, and elongated with a lowered mammary crease. We will need to reposition her breasts higher on her chest, reconstruct the mammary crease, close the pockets, and perform a breast lift with smaller implants.
