Breast Implant Revision Before & After Case 12236

This patient sought breast implant revision in Denver after noticing changes in her saline breast implants placed in 1992. She experienced partial deflation of the right breast and was unhappy with visible rippling in both implants. Dissatisfaction with the appearance and a desire to prevent further complications led her to pursue an elective revision procedure.

During surgery, both implants were removed. Dr. Freeman excised significant scar tissue from the right breast and repositioned the new implants from over to under the muscle. This adjustment aimed to improve the upper breast contour and help mask rippling. The patient chose Motiva Ergonomix® implants for enhanced ripple protection and higher quality.

Patients with older saline implants often present for breast implant revision in Denver and Colorado Springs to address issues like deflation or visual irregularities. Over time, saline implants become more susceptible to rupture. Many patients elect to revise their implants before an emergency situation arises, even though routine replacement every 10 years is not a medical requirement and is a myth.

Matthew D. Freeman, M.D., at The Center for Cosmetic Surgery, performed this revision. Dr. Freeman is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and brings advanced fellowship training in cosmetic surgery. His approach incorporates the latest techniques to ensure safe, personalized outcomes for patients seeking breast implant revision in Denver and Colorado Springs.
