This 37-year-old patient came to Dr. Shaun Parson after experiencing a breast implant rupture. Following a personalized consultation, she decided to undergo breast implant exchange surgery to remove and replace her previous implants.
Dr. Parson performed the breast revision procedure using Natrelle INSPIRA® SoftTouch SSX 800cc silicone breast implants. The selected implants helped restore breast volume and symmetry while providing the fuller, more projected appearance the patient desired.
Natrelle SSX implants include several distinctive features:
Profile: Extra-full projection, also known as the X-style profile, offering more outward projection than low-, medium-, or full-profile implants.
Gel type: SoftTouch cohesive silicone gel, which is slightly firmer and more shape-stable than standard responsive gel options such as SRX.
Breast implant size and profile are selected according to each patient’s anatomy, existing breast tissue, previous surgery, and desired result. An 800cc SSX implant will not create the same appearance on every patient.
A breast implant rupture may be discovered after a noticeable change in breast shape, size, firmness, or symmetry. Some silicone implant ruptures may not cause obvious symptoms and may instead be identified through imaging.
Breast implant exchange surgery can address a ruptured implant while also allowing the patient and surgeon to reassess implant size, profile, material, and overall aesthetic goals. The surgical plan is individualized based on the condition of the implant and surrounding tissue.
If you are concerned about a possible breast implant rupture or are considering replacing older implants, schedule a private consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shaun Parson. During your appointment, Dr. Parson can evaluate your implants, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized breast revision plan.
