A mother of 3 in her early 40’s who has breast fed all 3 children and wants her breast to be fuller and less droopy- She still wishes to have a natural appearance and wants to look like her padded c cup bra that she wears now but without the padding. She is shown before and again, 7 months after a vertical mastopexy (“lollipop scar breast lift” ) and 350 cc round, textured, high profile silicone gel implants placed in a dual plane position. Texture was chosen to decrease shifting and dropping of the implants with time, but the implant company with the least aggressive texture (Mentor) was used to decrease the risk of possible problems seen with the more aggressive textures. “Dual plane” means that the implant is under the muscle above but just below the breast down below. This gives the benefits of a subglandular approach with the tendency of the implant to settle more with the breast but still giving the benefits of a subpectoral approach with better coverage of the implant above, lower risk of capsular contracture, easier to perform a mammogram, and better “aging” of the breasts. Her scars will typically continue to fade and improve for 2 years after surgery.
