Case #103

This 30 year old Indiana patient breast fed two children and presented to my office desiring breast augmentation. Breast feeding frequently causes an involution or shrinking of breast tissue which gives the breast a deflated appearance. Many women who I see in my office for breast enhancement have this concern regarding their bodies after pregnancy. This can be seen in her preoperative photo which shows a significant concavity in the superior pole of her breast. She also had plenty of loose skin which could be filled by a larger implant.

The Indiana breast augmentation procedure lasted approximately one hour and was done as an outpatient under general anesthesia. She chose saline implants which were placed under the muscle through incisions under the breast. Final fill volumes were 450cc on the right and 435cc on the left resulting in a restoration of volume and a more attractive breast shape. She was able to return to work as a cocktail server within a week. She enhanced her bra size from an A to a D cup, still keeping a natural look.
