A 49 year-old mother of 1 who was up to 100 lbs heavier with her pregnancy. She is currently 5’2 and 122 lbs and is bothered by a deflated appearance of her breasts which she describes as a 34 padded A cup. She is shown before and 5 months after bilateral breast augmentation with 300 cc high profile textured silicone gel implants placed in a partial subpectoral position through and infra-mammary incision. She liked the 300 and the 325 cc implants when sizing in the office but still wished to have a natural appearance. The 325 cc implant was judged to be too large to appear natural at the time of surgery. She is thrilled with her result.
Texture was selected to decrease the risk of lateral shift of the implants with time. The mentor texture has the advantage of having the same “coefficient of friction” (a measure of the “grip” ) as the most aggressively textured “salt loss method” textures but with a potentially lower risk of late seroma formation.
Our patient had an abdominoplasty at the same time.
