Subpectoral Silicone gel Breast Implants in Postpartum Patient, Raleigh,NC*

This 30-year-old woman was never happy with her breast size and after having a child lost even the small amount of volume that she had. This made her very unhappy and self-conscious about her very small breasts. She desired breast augmentation to a C cup or a small D cup. Full discussion about options available included silicone gel implants and saline implants. Generally, patients with very small volume breasts favor silicone gel implants as they are less palpable. The patient decided upon silicone gel breast implants. She underwent bilateral breast augmentation with placement of Allergan extra high profile smooth wall gel prostheses placed under the muscle, 445 cc. She is much happier with her breast size and was able to where normal clothing including bathing suits. She wore a small D cup in some brassieres and a large C cup in different styles. Involutional hypoplasia of the breasts occurs in some women after pregnancy with resulting loss of volume. This is one of the top reasons why women choose breast augmentation
