Changing out old saline breast implants.*

This patient had a breast augmentation with a breast lift approximately 10 year earlier. She was unhappy with the size of her implants and wanted the fullness in the upper pole of her breast to be restored. Her saline implants were removed and replaced with smooth round gel implants. In addition a capsulorrhaphy was performed. This procedure is used to tighten the implant pockets that have been made too large at the first surgery or by implant wear over time. Recovery was very quick as the implant pocket was already present.
