Her history was interesting in that she had undergone treatment for cancer of the left breast with a lumpectomy and radiation therapy. This was a concern because of the scarring and fibrous reaction in irradiated breasts that might prevent them from staying soft with implants.

She is seen 6 months after augmentation with Mentor smooth, round, high profile saline implants placed under the muscle. Both are 310 cc. the left was filled to 340 cc and the right to 310 cc to compensate for a size difference in her breasts. The right side was perfect; very soft and natural. The left side was slightly firmer and more "round". Given her history, this was felt to be acceptable. She was thrilled.

She came in 2.5 years after augmentation. She remained very happy with her implants and has had no problems. She has gained 22 lb. which is more apparent in the right breast. This is also due to the radiation scarring in the left. The left breast has actually softened with time and both looks and feels more natural now.
