Secondary mastopexy augmentation is a mastopexy procedure in the previously augmented patient. After childbirth or breast feeding the breast becomes ptotic and occasionally the nipple areola complex can widen. In some patients depending on the strength and position of the pectoralis major muscle, the implants can become laterally displaced. After children, patients usually desire the nipple areola complex to be…

Understanding Breast Ptosis: Embracing Natural Changes

The Natural Sag and Its Causes As a woman’s body experiences significant milestones and changes, the structure and composition of her breasts evolve too. The skin, especially around the breast area, being elastic, stretches and loses its elasticity over time due to its weight and gravity’s constant pull. The internal supporting tissues, notably the Cooper’s ligaments, undergo alterations leading to…

Left Breast Reconstruction with DIEP Flap to Reconstruct the Breasts when Implants are not an Option

Left Breast Reconstruction with DIEP Flap to Reconstruct the Breasts when Implants are not an Option

After mastectomy, the breast can be reconstructed with implants or with the patient’s own tissue. When we reconstruct the breast with the patient’s own tissue, we use the term autologous breast reconstruction. Reconstruction with the patient’s own tissue is helpful in cases where radiation was required after mastectomy or in situations where implants became infected at any time after a…

Capsular Contracture Surgery Staged Reconstruction

Capsular contracture can be a challenging problem for patients and surgeons. Often correcting a chronic capsular contracture may require a staged procedure to most effectively treat the problem. When a capsular contracture is recurrent, it is often best to remove the implants for approximately one year prior to placing the implants back into position. Removing the mammary prosthesis and changing…

Bilateral Mastopexy

Bilateral Mastopexy

Mastopexy operations are common operations. Often a mastopexy can be done to lift the breast into a more youthful position. The mastopexy can also be performed to put the nipple areola complex in a more youthful position prior to undergoing a mastectomy operation. In patients who are ptotic, the nipple areola complex can not be elevated in one stage during…

Synmastia occurs when breast implants migrate to the center of the chest and cross the midline or when the two breast implant pockets join together. Correction of synmastia is challenging and often requires significant changes to the implant pocket and or change of plane of the mammary prosthesis in order to correctly re-position the breast implants on the chest wall.…

Double-Bubble Deformity Breast Implant Surgery.

Double-Bubble Deformity Breast Implant Surgery.

Breast implants can become dislodged or displaced from their surgical pocket. This can be the result of a trauma, surgery, radiation, or capsular contracture. Correction of the double-bubble deformity requires repositioning of the infra-mammary fold to its native location. Slightly decreasing the size of the mammary prosthesis can help with repositioning of the new breast implant pocket.
