Breast Implant Removal

This patient developed rupture of her silicone implants placed under the muscle approximately 15 years ago. She had a little more widening in the center of her chest due to a depressed sternum and widened muscle origin. She underwent exchange for newer, highly cohesive gummy bear implants through her old breast fold incision, with a slight size increase as desired. We kept her submuscular location to decrease rippling and visibility of the implant, given the thinness of her tissues. She has an unrelated old breast biopsy scar on her right inner breast.
