Abstract
This is a 75-year-old hypertensive patient who had breast augmentation in 1984. With the implant ruptured and then flattened breasts, it is important to remove the implants only if the silicone enters the tissue beyond the fibrous capsule. Recommendation was to remove implants and do mastopexy since the breasts were so flattened despite the implants. The only question remains is what type of implant to use and what pocket, subpectoral, subglandular, or completely submuscular.
