Before and after explantation of old saline breast implants and mastopexy in a 57 year old woman. Her implants were under the muscle and were causing physical discomfort.
Over time, the pectoralis muscles had pulled the implants up too high, causing her breast tissue to droop downwards and “fall off the implant”. This is called the “Snoopy nose deformity” or the “waterfall deformity” by some. She wanted to have smaller breasts, to be perkier and to not need to wear a bra.
Her implants were removed, and a lift of the nipples and areolas was done. Her breast tissue on the inside was rearranged to a perkier and more youthful shape.
Follow up photos are shown 9 months after surgery. Her scars are maturing nicely and she is very pleased with her own, natural, shapely breasts! Over the next 3-6 months her incisions will continue to fade.
