This 41-year-old patient presented for revision breast surgery to address complications from sub-glandular saline implants placed 15 years prior. Her examination revealed bilateral capsular contracture with resultant breast distortion and asymmetry, causing both aesthetic concerns and physical discomfort. The previous sub-glandular placement had contributed to visible implant edges and unnatural upper pole fullness. The surgical plan included a comprehensive approach: complete capsulectomy with removal of existing implants, creation of new submuscular pockets to provide better implant coverage and more natural tissue dynamics, placement of 375cc medium-profile smooth silicone implants selected for optimal tissue compatibility, and mastopexy to address tissue laxity and optimize breast positioning. This multi-faceted approach addressed both the mechanical complications of capsular contracture and the aesthetic concerns of implant visibility and positioning. Her 6-month post-operative results demonstrate improved breast symmetry with enhanced softness and natural mobility, resolution of capsular contracture, and refined breast contours with optimal nipple-areola complex positioning.
