This is a 35 year-old woman who had lost 70 lbs with diet and exercise. Her weight was 135 lbs and her BMI was 22. She was mainly concerned with the sagging breast tissue and the loose abdominal skin. I advised that she have a lift procedure in order to optimize her breast shape. The patient preferred to avoid the scars and proceeded with an augmentation alone. She had an abdominoplasty and breast augmentation. In order to attempt to compensate for the skin laxity, we used large implants which were filled to 650cc and 675cc.

Six weeks following surgery, it was clear that the breast tissue would continue to sag. A vertical mastopexy (breast lift) was performed to correct the sagging breast tissue. She required an additional revision 18 months later because of asymmetry. The left breast implant was higher than the left. She returned to the operating room to lower the left implant and revise the scar on the same side.
