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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This patient had a significant asymmetry of breast development. The left breast is much larger and somewhat lower than the right. The breast fold on the right is also significantly higher than the left. Breast augmentation required lowering of the right breast crease (inframammary fold) and placement of a larger implant on the right to improve the asymmetry.

After breast augmentation , this lady felt that her implants were too large and heavy. She had excessively sized 775 cc implants (placed years prior). Her small frame could not support the weight of the implants, causing them to fall outward and downward. Corrective surgery was required to improve the balance and appearance of her breasts. This required reducing the pocket along the outer part of each breast to allow smaller implants to still maintain fullness along the inside part of each breast. Silicone gel implants were used to give the breasts a softer feel and reduce rippling.

This very thin lady had prior breast augmentation with saline implants. She developed severe rippling in the upper part of the breast and a wide inter-breast distance. Larger, wider silicone implants were used to reduce the separation and correct the rippling. In addition, a breast lift was performed to eliminate loose skin and raise the position of the nipple.

After having breast augmentation years earlier, this lady developed some sagging of her breasts. She wanted a perkier look. The implants were replaced with smaller saline implants under the muscle, and a breast lift was added to improve overall shape.
