![This is a 28 year-old patient who wanted her implants removed. She no longer cared for them
and felt that the implants were contributing to more back pain for her. The patient also wanted
to start trying to get pregnant so she wanted to get the surgery out of the way. She was initially
interested in a breast lift and fat transfer at the time of the removal but after my discussion
with her, she decided to see how she would bounce back with the implant removal alone. After
all, she had very youthful skin and tissue and had never undergone pregnancy and
breastfeeding so there was a good chance that her breasts would restore their shape without
additional procedures. She had 375cc breast implants removed in the operating room and her
breasts bounced back to looking natural and beautiful. She was so happy that she didn’t have to
undergo additional lift and fat transfer to achieve the outcome that she did.]( "This is a 28 year-old patient who wanted her implants removed. She no longer cared for them

![This is an active 30 year-old patient who had silicone breast implants placed ten years
prior to her presentation. She started to feel her implants getting tighter, which was
consistent with capsular contracture. Although she was hesitant about the size she
would be post-removal, she knew for sure that she did not want them anymore. She
underwent removal of 550cc silicone implants and thick capsules and concurrently
underwent a “donut” mastopexy to help restore symmetry to her nipple areolas. She
was baseline very fit which meant minimal donor sites to harvest fat from. However, in
thin patients, even small amounts of fat can be helpful. I was able to graft 60cc of fat
into each breast to help shape the breasts to make up for the stretched out appearance
the large implants had left her. She used to have AA cup-sized breasts prior to implants
and now she is a full A/small B cup size that she’s excited to have.]( "This is an active 30 year-old patient who had silicone breast implants placed ten years

![This 45 year-old patient had her implants placed two decades ago and developed
capsular contracture in the recent years. She felt tight in her right breast and it led to
more asymmetry of her breasts. She came into the office hoping to get rid of the
tightening effect of capsular contracture and restore breast symmetry. She also wanted
her natural breast shape back and did not want implants anymore. Mainly she did not
want more surgeries in the future. However, she was worried about how small she
would be after the implant removal. She also knew implants stretch out the overlying
tissue and leave a hollow appearance once the implants are removed. To help boost her
post-removal volume and shape, we discussed transferring fat to the breasts. She
underwent implant removal (300cc saline implants were removed) and capsulectomy to
remove the thick hardened capsule. She had 170cc of fat grafted into the right breast
and 100cc into the left breast to make up for the difference in the breast size. She was
excited to have symmetrical breasts again and love her natural breasts that feel lighter
and beautiful.]( "This 45 year-old patient had her implants placed two decades ago and developed
