Breast


Case: 54024
This 27-year-old, 140-pound, and 5’9″ patient underwent breast augmentation by Dr. DeRoberts using 470cc silicone moderate high-profile boost implants. Photos taken one month post op. (The texture on the patient’s skin is from post-operative care wraps used for optimal healing and implant positioning.) The patient is very happy with her results.


Case: 51004
The patient underwent bilateral mastectomies, during which Dr. Ruter placed tissue expanders. After the surgery, she received radiation therapy to the left breast as part of her cancer treatment. Once the radiation was completed, Dr. Ruter replaced the tissue expanders with moderate to high-profile breast implants. Additionally, a liposuction procedure was performed to harvest fat from the abdomen, which was then used for autologous fat transfer to enhance the contour and aesthetic outcomes of the breasts.


Case: 54175
This patient presented for cosmetic breast revision after having saline breast implants placed many years earlier. She was found to have a rupture of the left saline implant.
Board- certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ruter performed removal of both implants and replaced them with silicone gel implants. In addition, internal tissue tightening (capsulorrhaphy) was performed to improve implant positioning and breast contour. The procedure resulted in a stable reconstruction with an excellent aesthetic outcome.


Case: 53172
This patient underwent bilateral mastectomies for breast cancer using an inframammary fold incision to preserve the nipple–areolar complexes. Immediate breast reconstruction was performed by Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ruter during the same operative setting with implant placement and biologic mesh used as an internal bra for structural support.
Her initial reconstruction healed well; however, residual cancer was later identified at the nipple–areolar complexes. As part of her oncologic management, she subsequently underwent excision of both nipples and areolas to ensure complete cancer removal.


Case: 12588
This patient previously underwent breast augmentation approximately 10 years prior. She later developed right-sided breast cancer, which was treated with lumpectomy and radiation therapy. Post-treatment, she experienced significant breast asymmetry and radiation-induced contraction of the right breast.
Board-Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ruter performed revision breast surgery to restore symmetry and improve overall aesthetic balance. Both implants were removed and replaced. A biologic mesh was utilized on the right breast to provide additional support and reduce the risk of recurrent capsular contracture. On the left side, a GalaFLEX® internal bra mesh was placed to elevate and support the implant, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically improved outcome. Photos were taken 4 weeks post-op. Asymmetry will continue to improve with time.
