Breast feeding results in atrophy of the gland, often manifesting as a deflated appearance. In these cases, the most common type, breast implants alone will re-establish pre-pregnancy aesthetics by simply replacing lost volume. More complex cases, like this one, also require removal of stretched skin to provide a simultaneous lift. When skin is removed it only takes a small implant to restore upper breast fullness. 

For the surgeons: Since implant size is small in these cases it typically represents less than 40% of total breast volume. Therefore the “feel” advantage of silicone implants typically becomes moot. Saline implants in this  setting are reliably stable for 20 years or more and are therefore preferred (125cc saline implants in this case).

Abdominoplasty procedures constitute a trade: a flat abdomen for a hip-to-hip scar, and one around the navel.  How the scars heal is one of the biggest variables. Favorable genetics, fair coloring, and time are key factors promoting excellent scar quality, surgical technique surprisingly less so. A few exceptional outcomes are shown here.
