Breast Implant Exchange



Background

This 45 year-old had a breast augmentation with another surgeon in 2003. She reported having breast pain and went in for a mammogram and ultrasound. She discovered she had bilateral intracapsular rupture. In consultation with Dr. Flint she also expressed a desire to be made slightly larger. Dr. Flint performed a breast implant exchange with capsulectomy. Her post operative photos were taken 15 weeks following her surgery.
