Video Summary

A 51-year-old woman underwent reoperative breast revision after prior reduction and augmentation mastopexy. She presented with excess volume, nipple-areolar asymmetry, left-sided ptosis, and mild right skin laxity. Preoperative analysis identified asymmetries in base projection, lower pole contour, and nipple-to-inframammary fold distance, guiding planned tissue and skin resection. Surgery used prior scars, careful dissection to preserve a superior pedicle, and lower-pole glandular reduction while maintaining retroareolar tissue. A prior 215 cm³ silicone implant was removed from a subglandular pocket, fibrosis was released, and breast flaps were reshaped and anchored to the pectoralis major for durable contour and projection.
