This female patient in her 60s from Boston, Massachusetts, presented with painful capsular contracture and ruptured 600 cc silicone breast implants placed many years earlier by another surgeon. The oversized implants felt heavy, created an unnatural appearance, and caused discomfort along with significant breast ptosis.

Dr. Vickram Tandon performed breast implant revision with implant removal, subtotal capsulectomy, exchange to smaller 360 cc silicone implants, mastopexy, and internal bra support to restore a lighter, more youthful, and natural breast shape. She is shown here more than one year after surgery with improved breast position, excellent symmetry, relief from pain, and soft, natural-looking results. Her scars have matured beautifully, and she is thrilled with her restored comfort and confidence.
