Breast Reconstruction Gallery Patient 48689472

This is another 55 yo woman, who is an avid runner, who also was a great candidate for tissue expanders and then implants with fat grafting. She too, wanted to be slightly bigger and more symmetric than her original shape, and the expanders helped with this significantly. She had a pre-pectoral expander/implant position, which is beneficial for a number of reasons as illustrated here: the implant is not inhibited by the muscle and she does not have an animation deformity; the implant is allowed to reveal its natural shape and contour, giving her a more natural look; she had very little pain after surgery due to the fact that the reconstruction was above the muscle. She desired a natural shape, so tear-drop, anatomic implants were chosen to achieve natural aesthetic lines.
