Description:
32 year old mother of a 14 year old daughter. She presents to discuss options for her breasts. She states that although she did not breast feed her daughter; she did have a large weight gain (she just recently loss more than 60 pounds). Since the weight loss, her breasts have felt “deflated”. She would now like to improve the “look” of her breasts. Height is 5’6″. Weight is 120 pounds. Even though her primary goal was additional breast volume, because she had significant breast droop (ptosis), we explained that breast implants needed to wait until the ptosis was corrected with a breast lift. Once healed (typically 2-3 months later) if she still desired more breast volume, we could add implants without adding new scars (using the breast lift scars). She agreed to this staged approach, and proceeded with a mastopexy (breast lift). After she had healed from the breast lift, she returned to our in-office facility for breast implant placement. Results are shown here 3 months AFTER the breast implants were placed in her second procedure (350 cc, under the muscle placement).
