Implant Exchange with Lift for Symmetry*

Patient came to our office wanting more symmetrical breast as well as new silicone implants. Dr. Gorman performed a Open Capsulectomy, Implant Exchange with a Bilateral Mastopexy (lift). When the patient's old implants were removed, Dr. Gorman found that the right implant had ruptured. He removed the capsule around the old implants and the implants themselves. He then carried out a mastopexy finishing with placing a 320cc implant on the right breast and a 275 implant on the left. Both implants were silicone gel Mentor Moderate Classic Profile. Because the patient had used Mentor implants for her first surgery, she qualified for the Mentor Warranty. This allowed the patient to be refunded a standard amount of money covered by Mentor.
