Abstract

This patient had breast augmentation, and after the swelling subsided noted the right breast was higher than the left, uncomfortable, and of unusual shape. Suggestions were made by the Group that included anterior capsulectomy on the right with change of the implant, lowering the implant and closing the upper pole of the pocket as well as capsulorrhaphy and the use of polyurethane-covered implant.
