| This 62-year old patient from Escondido, California (North San Diego County) is post (subglandular) breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants performed by another surgeon in the 1980’s.
The patient was interested in revisionary breast surgery for many years and decided to proceed with surgery after meeting Dr. Pousti. The patient had significant encapsulation in both breasts and experienced breast pain in her right breast.
Due to encapsulation, the patient was unhappy with the results of her surgery. The patient described to Dr. Pousti that she just wanted to look natural and have some fullness and cleavage. Markings were performed the morning of surgery, and the planned procedure was drawn out in detail.
Breast capsule removed from patient.
Dr. Pousti removed the patient’s 30-year-old silicone breast implants and performed capsulectomy in both breasts.
421cc silicone-GEL breast implants were used to replaced the previous implants with submuscular placement (implants placed under the muscle).
