Breast Augmentation - Case 2

This 47 year-old mother of 3 lost most of her breast volume after breast feeding, and came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for augmentation mammoplasty (breast enlargement with implants). Her surgery was one month before the FDA again released silicone gel implants for elective breast augmentation (2006), so this patient had submuscular saline implants placed. Proper “over”filling minimized implant rippling. Her TIVA general anesthetic allowed her to leave the recovery room in just one hour–alert, comfortable, and without nausea or vomiting.
