Implant Removal with Mastopexy Case #766

This 51-year-old woman previously had breast augmentation surgery over almost 30 years ago (260cc saline implants) with another surgeon.  She came to The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic as she was unhappy with the changes to her breasts over time and had always felt that they were too heavy.

During her consultation, she decided to have her implants removed and to have mastopexy surgery (breast lift) instead of adding implants back in by using her natural size and lifting the nipples to a more desirable position.

She had breast implant removal surgery with capsulectomy and a mastopexy to help lift the nipples into a higher and forward facing position. 

The result seen here 3 months after surgery demonstrates that the shape of her breasts is well maintained and that nipples are in correct position.  The redness of her scarring will continue to fade over time.  She is happy with her results and tells us that she wished she had done it sooner.
