Breast Reconstruction

Patient 147

Dr. Mattos

Woman in her 50’s who had undergone implant based breast reconstruction previously elsewhere, complicated by bilateral capsular contracture, which caused tightness around the implant and a lot of discomfort. Her implants were high in space and her nipples pointing down and lateralized. I removed her bilateral breast implants, performed a capsulectomy of both implant pockets, and reconstructed her breasts with her own tissue using DIEP flaps, a type of free tissue breast reconstruction. No implants were therefore necessary. Here she is about 8 months after surgery with no more pain or discomfort and a much better aesthetic result.
