Weight Loss After Breast Reduction-Corrected with Breast Implants, Raleigh,NC

This patient had previous breast reduction and abdominoplasty. She was still quite a bit overweight but after her reduction and abdominoplasty she began a diet and exercise program and eventually lost 50 pounds. She was thrilled with her improvements in her physique but was disappointed that her breasts now had lost some of their volume. She was hopeful to have improvement from a Be up to a C cup. A full discussion of implant choices was carried out including saline devices, Ideal implants and silicone gel devices and she chose silicone implants. She underwent secondary breast augmentation with Sientra moderate +355 cc gel prosthesis. These were placed in the submuscular position. The patient was very happy with the improvements made Breast reduction is a procedure with one of the highest patient satisfaction scores. However some patients develop changes with aging with loss of volume often with weight changes and feel disappointed in the upper pole volume. These women are potential candidates for secondary breast augmentation to overcome some of these issues
