Procedure Details

This 54 year-old fair skinned female came to Dr. Woodyard with 17 year-old silicone implants which had ruptured. She had developed breast ptosis which created a "double-bubble" effect with the breast tissue sagging off of her implants. A breast lift using just the areola and an implant exchange with capsulectomies was recommended. She proceeded with surgery as recommended and was thrilled with the outcome.

She was a 36C cup before surgery and a 36D cup after surgery. More

Mastopexy and Implant Exchange

Nipple malposition with breast implant exchange can sometimes be corrected with a donut mastopexy which limits the mastopexy scar to around the areola. This is done to elevate the nipple and can provide a small amount of tightening. It is a good procedure for mild to moderate ptosis, particularly when an increase in implant size has been chosen.
