This 42 year-old patient from El Cajon, California was interested in breast augmentation revision surgery, the patient was post breast augmentation surgery and 2 breast revisionary surgeries (all performed by another surgeon). Unhappy with her breasts shape and mal positioning she wanted breast revision surgery to correct it.
The patient researched for an experienced Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon to help her with her complex case. After looking through numerous successful breast revision surgery performed by Dr. Pousti, the patient knew Dr. Pousti was the best plastic surgeon for her.
Dr. Pousti has experience in breast augmentation revision surgery and knew exactly what needed to be done to achieve the patient’s goals. It was decided that capsulorrhaphy (internal sutures) would be performed with 2 layers of permanent sutures for better breast implant placement on the chest wall.
Markings and measurements are preformed prior to surgery – the arrows indicate where the patient wants more fullness.
The red lines indicate where the internal sutures will be placed to separate the breast implants.
The red arrows indicate more lateral fullness on the right side.
