This patient experienced imframammary fold failure (bottoming out of implants) on both sides of her breasts. Dr. Patronella repaired the folds to elevate the implants and create a more natural-looking nipple position. To provide added support to the breast folds and implants, he created an “internal bra” using Galaflex. With this mesh, the body’s collagen grows in and out of the mesh’s weave, leaving behind a natural scaffold of support after the mesh dissolves over a period of one to two years.

This patient was ready for a smaller, lifted breast appearance. Dr. Patronella removed her implants and the capsule around them (capsulotomy/capulectomy). He then performed a breast lift to reduce sagging. She was thrilled with her results, saying, “I can wear anything and feel confident about how it looks!”

This patient had excess scar tissue which tightened around her implants (capsular contracture), distorting their appearance. Dr. Patronella performed a breast lift, removed the scar tissue and replaced her 325 cc (left) and 350 cc (right) implants with 210 cc implants to give her the smaller, perkier breast appearance she desired. Because her left breast was a bit larger than her right, he removed tissue from the left side to create better symmetry.

In addition to wanting larger breasts, this patient desired to shorten the gap between them and the tendency of her implants to fall sideways. To give her the look she desired, Dr. Patronella exchanged her 200 cc breast implants for 325 – 330 cc saline implants, and he repaired the inframammary fold as well as the implant pockets to improve the implants’ position and the shape of her breasts.

This patient disliked the pouch on her abdomen and felt she looked three months pregnant. She desired a flatter abdomen and improvement of her belly button appearance. In addition, she wanted perkier breasts. Dr. Patronella performed a combination of procedures, including a True Form Tummy Tuck and breast implant replacement to give her a new look. In a follow-up appointment, she said she felt more confident, and her clothes fit better.

Plastic Surgeon Dr. Chris Patronella One reason why I don’t favor mini tummy tuck surgery in most of the women I see who desire improvement of the abdomen after childbirth is this the lower abdomen can be flattened, but it would disproportionally affect the unpaired upper abdomen by leaving a bulge in the upper abdomen, […]
