Revision Reconstruction

This patient had prior breast cancer reconstruction by another surgeon with textured implants (style 120-550cc) placed under the muscle. She developed a capsular contracture to the right implant causing this side to look elevated and tight. She also suffered from severe animation deformity, with implant motion any time her chest wall muscles flexed. Dr. Geiger corrected this by removing her old implants and capsules, re-securing her pectoralis muscles to her chest wall, and converting her to a prepectoral reconstruction with newer, highly cohesive (gummy bear) implants (605cc SCF). Some skin tightening was performed as well and she looks and feels great with her revised reconstruction.
