Implant removal replacement with breast lift Before & After Case 417

The above patient came to Dr. Michael Ablavsky, MD, for implant removal replacement with breast lift in San Antonio. She expressed concerns about the heaviness and width that remained after her initial breast augmentation. Her main goal was to achieve a more youthful, perkier, and notably smaller breast shape, which would restore her confidence and comfort.

During her consultation, the patient and Dr. Ablavsky discussed her motivations and the best approach for her desired outcome. Together, they decided on a single-stage procedure involving removal of her prior 400cc implants, refinement of the capsule around the implants to improve positioning, and placement of lower profile 280cc silicone implants. At the same time, Dr. Ablavsky performed a breast lift using a superior medial pedicle technique. This comprehensive approach allowed Dr. Ablavsky to address both her size and contour concerns in one procedure.

After surgery, the patient noted a significant improvement in how her chest looked and felt. Her profile became more proportionate, and her breasts gained a more lifted, natural appearance. Recovery proceeded as anticipated. She expressed satisfaction with the balance achieved between her body’s overall shape and her new breast size.
