Hitting 60 in Style โœจ

This beautiful patient celebrated her 60th birthday with a transformation that reflects how vibrant she truly feels.

She chose Dr. Buchanan for a deep plane facelift, deep plane necklift, and facial fat graftingโ€”a powerful combination designed to restore youthful structure while maintaining a completely natural look.

And hereโ€™s the incredible partโ€ฆ

She is only 6 weeks post-op.

Take a look at that necklineโ€”smoother, tighter, and more defined, with results that will continue to improve over time.

This is what expert technique and thoughtful planning can achieve.

โœจ In reference to our post earlier this week about patienceโ€ฆ

Let me introduce you to this 35-year-old patient.

She originally underwent breast augmentation in 2020 with another surgeon. Over time, she developed capsular contracture, which caused hardening, deformity, and noticeable asymmetry in her breasts.

About 5 months ago, she underwent implant removal (385cc), a complete capsulectomy, and placement of new implants (285cc).

Because of the significant scar tissue from the capsular contracture, her early postoperative course involved continued asymmetry with tightening and restriction of the lower pole of her right breast.

But with time โ€” and under the guidance of Dr. Buchanan โ€” patience paid off. ๐Ÿ™Œ

As healing progressed, the lower pole of the right breast gradually stretched and relaxed, allowing her breasts to achieve a level of symmetry even better than where she originally started.

Healing after revision surgery can take time, and every patientโ€™s journey is unique. At VIVIFY plastic surgery, we guide our patients every step of the way and help them stay the course to achieve the best possible outcome. ๐Ÿ’™

Vitamin P = Patience

After surgery, one of the most crucial elements to a smooth recovery is something that might seem simple: patience. It's natural for patients to feel anxious about their healing process, often worrying about every little detail. However, it's essential to remember that many of these concerns will resolve beautifully with time. By trusting your surgeon and adhering to their post-operative instructions, you're setting yourself up for success. Embrace the journey, give yourself grace, and allow your body the time it needs to heal. After all, good things come to those who wait!

About 25 milliliters (25cc).
And believe it or notโ€ฆ thatโ€™s the same volume difference patients often spend a lot of time debating during a breast augmentation consultation.

Questions like:
โ€œShould I do 425cc or 450cc?โ€
โ€œIs 350cc too smallโ€ฆ should I go 375cc instead?โ€
On paper, 25cc sounds like a big difference. But in reality, itโ€™s actually very small.

To put it in perspective, 25cc is roughly:
โ€ข The volume of a Dip & Squeeze ketchup packet
โ€ข 5 teaspoons
โ€ข About half of a shot glass
โ€ข About 0.8 ounces
โ€ข A small sip of water

When implants are placed under skin, breast tissue, and sometimes muscle, a 25cc difference is often barely noticeable.
Thatโ€™s why when weโ€™re planning surgery, we focus much more on things like implant width, profile, shape, and how the implant fits your anatomy rather than obsessing over tiny volume differences.

So if youโ€™re stressing about implants that are 25cc apart, remember:
Youโ€™re basically debating the volume of a ๐ค๐ž๐ญ๐œ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ญ.

โœจ Real patient journey, real results.

This 36-year-old patient originally had breast augmentation in 2015, going from an A cup to a D cup with saline implants (about 500cc). In the summer of 2024, she met with Dr. Buchanan to have her implants removed to see if they were contributing to some immune system issues she had been experiencing.

After removal, she unfortunately did not notice a significant change in her symptoms. Over time, she also became unhappy with the appearance of her breasts without implants.

About 6 weeks ago, she decided to move forward with another breast augmentation, this time with 650cc full profile silicone gel implants.

Interestingly, the time her body spent without implants allowed her tissues to reset, resulting in a much improved outcome compared to her original augmentation. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Every patientโ€™s journey is unique. Some patients decide implants are not for them and explore options like auto-augmentation mastopexy or fat transfer. Others remove implants for personal or medical reasons and later choose to replace them.

No matter the path, our team is here to support patients every step of the way. ๐Ÿ’™

โœจ 6 Weeks Post-Op Transformation

At 45 years old, this patient is already enjoying the incredible results of her breast reduction and lift just 6 weeks after surgery.

By reducing excess breast tissue and lifting the breasts to a more youthful position, this procedure can help improve comfort, posture, and overall confidence. Many patients also experience relief from symptoms like neck, shoulder, and back discomfort.

Her results are still early, and healing will continue to improve over the coming months โ€” but the transformation already shows a beautiful, natural-looking shape and balance.

Every patientโ€™s journey is unique, and our team is proud to support patients through every step of the process.

โœจ 6 Weeks Post-Op Transformation โœจ

This beautiful 52-year-old patient is just 6 weeks postop from a bilateral breast augmentation with mastopexy (breast lift) and the results are already looking fantastic.

To restore fullness, shape, and support, she received 445 cc moderate profile highly cohesive silicone gel implants. A breast lift was performed at the same time to elevate the breasts and improve overall contour.

For additional long-term support, soft tissue mesh was used to reinforce the breast tissue and help maintain the new shape over time. Even early in her recovery, she already has a balanced, natural-looking result with excellent projection and symmetry.

Every patientโ€™s journey is unique, and procedures are customized to achieve the best possible outcome.
