Revisionary Breast Surgery

Her previous breast augmentation / breast lifting surgery had left her with asymmetry of the two breasts. She had capsular contracture of the right side (seen above) which was painful to the patient.

She was interested in removing her current implants, replacing them with larger silicone gel breast implants, capsulectomy of the right side and revisionary breast lifting to correct the placement and symmetry of her breasts.

She was very impressed by Dr. Pousti’s experience with revisionary breast augmentation surgery and the results she had seen on his website. She proceeded with scheduling revisionary breast augmentation, revisionary breast lifting (mastopexy) surgery with Dr. Pousti.

Markings were performed the night before surgery.

Dr. Pousti takes his time to plan the surgery to accomplish the patient’s goals. The red “markings” are to show the current implant placement while the blue “marks” show where the patient wanted more fullness.

In the operating room, Dr. Pousti and his surgical staff took great care to achieve the patient’s results. The patient’s current implants were removed, capsulectomy of the right side was performed, revisionary breast lifting was performed and new silicone gel breast implants were placed.

Here you can see that the patient’s right breast implant and the right capsule have been removed, the breast lift has been revised and a “sizer” has been placed to see what size implant would give the patient her desired result.

Here is the capsule tissue that was removed from the right breast. The capsular contracture of the right side was painful for the patient.

The patient’s after pictures were taken in the operating room. The patient will follow up with Dr. Pousti in a couple of days.
