Breast Implant Exchange Case #1543

This is a patient in her 60’s with previous breast augmentation in a submuscular plane performed somewhere else. She was bothered by her severe capsular contracture and breast shape distortion. She also had pain associated with the capsular contracture and hardening of the breasts. We performed an implant exchange with larger implants, capsulectomy and placement of acellular dermal matrix for better implant coverage and potential prevention of recurrent capsular contracture. Her breasts are now soft, with a natural shape and more symmetrical. We also performed an abdominoplasty at the same time.
