Patient Jaime: Why I Decided To Replace (Not Remove) My Breast Implants

17 years ago, Jaime had a breast augmentation and lift after breastfeeding her three children. Back then, she spent a lot of time vacationing on the river and wanted to feel confident in a bikini.

Fast forward to 2023, Jaime came back to LJCSC because her breasts had gotten larger. Since her initial surgery, she felt like she looked too big, so she opted for breast implant replacement (for much smaller implants) and another lift.

Find out why she decided against explanting and hear how her surgeon Dr. John Smoot handled a startling post-op scare.
