Breast Augmentation #50441

This is a revision breast augmentation case for a 41-year-old woman, 135 lbs, who came in wearing a B cup. She had a previous breast augmentation by Dr Leedy 15 years in the past but a few years ago had her implants removed by a different surgeon because she was concerned about breast implant illness. After having her implants removed she felt no different but was really unhappy with her breast shape without implants. She attributed her physical changes to just getting older. She came back to Dr Leedy to have breast implants placed again. Dr. Leedy performed a revision breast augmentation with Mentor moderate plus profile implants, 300cc on each side, placed submuscularly through her previous inframammary incisions. That pocket location and incision approach are common choices in revision cases because they allow precise pocket adjustment while keeping the scar tucked beneath the breast fold. The after photo is taken three months post-op, at which point the implants have settled and the tissues have had time to relax around the new implants. She is now wearing a C cup. She's very happy with her improved breast shape and is no longer worried about breast implant illness.
