45 year old female with breast implant removal (explant) and complete capsulectomy.

310cc round implants with capsular contracture removed from a dual plane pocket. Pec major repair.

These photos show how the original surgery included ‘dropping the inframammary fold’ or ‘borrowing some upper abdominal skin’ to lengthen the lower pole & allow a larger implant to be inserted. Once the implant was removed, the natural inframammary fold becomes more visible. An immediate mastopexy was not necessary and would have resulted in a poorer breast shape.

After photos are taken 3 months post operatively.
