Abstract
This patient desired to increase her breast size. Breast augmentation was performed with 450 mL round cohesive gel implants in the subpectoral. She developed breast deformity within 9 months. Further surgery was performed and the implants enlarged to 550 mL and placed in subglandular position. She developed synmastia postoperatively and wants to go larger. The Group’s advice included: do nothing further, use smaller implants and capsulectomy and close the pockets medially.
