* Photographs shown are cases performed at our clinic. Results vary by individual and are not guaranteed.
Chief Complaint
The patient had minimal native breast tissue and limited skin extensibility, and presented seeking a natural, not-too-large outcome.
Procedure
Implant augmentation. Design was planned through consultation and post-operative management to target a natural contour.
Post-operative Course
Owing to limited skin extensibility, individual variation in contour and tactile stability was explained in advance.
Post-operative management was continued and the course was favorable.
