A woman in her early 20’s who described herself as a 34 A cup and wanted to be a full C but still natural in appearance. She is 5’4” and 135 lbs. She is shown before and again, 5 months after bilateral partial subpectoral placement of 325 cc Sientra smooth round 5th generation cohesive silicone gel implants with a moderate plus profile, placed through an inframammary incision. I have recommended that she remove and not replace her nipple piercings to decrease her risk of capsular contracture. Nipple ducts have bacteria, and a piercing in this area may allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and travel to the implant. I also recommend against oral or vaginal piercings after surgery for the same reason.
Update: Our patient is now seen 6 months after surgery. The breasts have settled and appear even more natural in appearance.
