Before & After
Case Details
Our patient, 59, sought breast augmentation revision as part of an overall aesthetic refresh. She originally received saline breast implants many years ago and, with the passage of time, noticed changes in their appearance and feel. As a postmenopausal woman, she was interested in a slightly larger and more natural look and chose to replace her saline implants with silicone implants. She also chose to undergo a tummy tuck and liposuction of the flanks during the same procedure, aiming for a more contoured abdomen and midsection.
The patient’s goals for her breast augmentation included not only an updated appearance, but also improved comfort. Silicone implants can provide a softer and more natural feel compared to saline, which was an important consideration for her at this stage of life. Most patients in similar situations appreciate the opportunity to address multiple concerns at once, streamlining their experience and recovery time.
Her procedure, performed by Dr. Michael Carlisle, MD, was tailored to her anatomy and personal objectives. Dr. Carlisle’s experience in breast augmentation contributed to a careful surgical plan and clear communication throughout the process. Patients frequently comment on his thoroughness, technical knowledge, and commitment to safe, natural-looking results.
