This lady had significant breast asymmetry. The right breast fold was lower than the left and the left implant was higher and oriented more outward due to a rupture. Corrective surgery included lowering of the left breast fold, repairing the outer pocket (to bring the implant inward) and replacing the implants.

In order to fit moderate size implants, the breast fold was lowered about one inch on each side. this provided a more balanced implant position, with the nipples being near the center of the breasts.

Following breast augmentation, capsular contracture caused the implants to appear narrow with very defined edges. Dr. Patronella removed  scar tissue that had tightened excessively around this woman’s saline breast implants (capsular contracture) and replaced them with silicone implants to give her breasts a softer feel and a more round natural look.

Tightening of the scar tissue capsule around implants is referred to as capsular contracture. When this occurs, the implants will feel very firm and often shift upward, creating a very unnatural appearance. This patient’s surgery required a significant release of the capsule and repositioning and replacing her silicone implants.

This young woman had challenging anatomical features with very widely spaced breasts, marked size difference and mild tubular shape (a congenital abnormality of the breasts in which they do not develop normally or fully). Dr. Patronella performed a corrective breast fold adjustment and used silicone gel implants of differing volumes to give her a fuller, more natural-looking breast appearance with better symmetry.

Capsular contracture, when scar tissue creates a hardening effect around breast implants, caused this woman’s breasts to become overly firm and distorted in appearance. Dr. Patronella removed the scar tissue and improved the implant position to reshape her breasts to give them a softer, more natural look and feel.

Preexistent breast asymmetry is very common and can be challenging to improve. In this lady, significant sagging of the left breast only in addition to disparity in size required a unique plan customized to her condition. Dr. Patronella performed a breast lift on her left breast, and used implants of different sizes to further balance the volume difference between them.

Tight capsular contracture occurred following previous breast augmentation, causing the implants to appear narrow and feel firm. Capsular release and scar tissue removal was accompanied by improved positioning of new silicone implants. The overall effect provided improved balance and shape as well as a softer feel.

This woman had previous breast augmentation surgery. She had a “double bubble” deformity on the left due to “bottoming out” of the implant below the breast fold. Corrective repair of the breast folds improved the overall appearance of her breasts.
