Case #184

This 33-year-old patient consulted with Francesco Campanile seeking breast augmentation revision after being dissatisfied with results from a previous procedure performed by another surgeon approximately 10 years earlier. Her original breast augmentation involved saline implants, which had contributed to an overly firm appearance and an unnatural contour. Over time, she also experienced implant displacement due to oversized implant pockets, causing the implants to shift laterally toward the armpits when lying down and creating noticeable breast asymmetry.

After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Campanile recommended breast revision surgery with implant exchange and capsulotomy to address these concerns. During the procedure, the existing saline implants were removed, and the implant pockets were carefully repaired and resized to improve implant positioning and symmetry. By reinforcing the lateral pocket with internal sutures, Dr. Campanile was able to reduce unwanted implant movement and create a more balanced breast shape with enhanced cleavage. The patient selected silicone breast implants to achieve a fuller, softer, and more natural-looking result.

The after photos shown here were taken approximately one month following breast augmentation revision surgery. The patient is extremely pleased with her outcome, enjoying improved breast symmetry, enhanced cleavage, and a more natural appearance. Her results demonstrate how revision breast surgery can successfully correct complications from previous breast augmentation procedures while restoring confidence and achieving the patient’s aesthetic goals.
