This 29 yr. old female underwent breast revision surgery to correct capsular contracture and to have fuller breast. She went from saline 425cc to high profile silicone 550cc. A donut lift was done on right breast only to make them symmetrical. Capsulectomy on left breast was also performed at same time of surgery. She was particularly happy with her close cleavage and new breast size. She went to board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Joseph Cruise in Newport Beach, Orange County.
