Revision Reconstruction
Surgeries performed by Dr. Scott Geiger and Dr. John Hulsen in Chesterfield, MO just outside of St. Louis.
Patient 1
This patient has a history of breast cancer and underwent double mastectomies years earlier. Her reconstruction at that time was performed with saline implants. Her left implant eventually developed a leak and fully deflated. Here she is after revision of her reconstruction and upgrading to newer, shaped gummy bear implants (Mentor moderate plus profile, medium […]

Patient 2
This patient had breast cancer care and reconstruction at another hospital. Her initial surgeon performed reconstruction using tissue from her abdomen. Unfortunately, all the tissue on the left and part of the tissue on the right did not do well. Thus, she was converted to an implant on the left but was significantly asymmetric. She […]

Patient 3
This patient developed left breast cancer 20 years ago that was treated with mastectomy and implant based reconstruction. Over time she developed a tightening or contracture of her left implant capsule. This caused significant distortion and discomfort. Here she is 4 months after Dr. Geiger removed all of the tight scar tissue, updated her implant, […]

Patient 4
This patient underwent double mastectomies with her breast cancer surgeon and did not pursue plastic surgery/reconstruction at that time. However, some residual skin and tissue bothered her so she sought out a reconstructive surgeon to help correct this. Here she is after Dr. Geiger removed the additional tissue, tightened her chest skin, and performed some […]

Patient 5
This patient presented to Dr. Geiger several years after she had failed expander based reconstruction by another surgeon. After multiple fluid collections and infections in her initial reconstruction attempts, the decision was made to remove everything and let her skin heal. Dr. Geiger evaluated her chest which seemed to still have enough laxity for expansion. […]

Patient 6
This patient had a history of left breast cancer approximately 20 years ago. She underwent left mastectomy with expander and then implant based reconstruction at that time. Over time she developed a capsular contracture to her left side causing this implant to become higher on the chest wall and tight. Here she is 4 months […]

Patient 7
This patient initially underwent breast reconstruction at another hospital using her lower abdominal tissue. Unfortunately both of her reconstructed breasts failed and much of the transferred tissue was lost. Her prior surgeon placed an implant on the left with persistent deformities and asymmetries. Here she is feeling so much better after Dr. Geiger revised her […]

Patient 8
This patient underwent double nipple sparing mastectomies with subpectoral expander to implant reconstruction. She developed severe capsular contracture on the left after radiation was necessary to treat her cancer. Here she is after removal of her radiated scar capsule and subsequent pocket adjustments to bring her back into much more balance and symmetry. […]

Patient 9
This patient initially had left breast cancer in the 1990’s treated with a lumpectomy and radiation. She developed a new breast cancer in 2012 that was treated with double mastectomies and implant based reconstruction. Given her prior radiation to the left breast, a latissimus flap was used from her back to transfer non-radiated tissue to […]

Patient 10
This patient developed right breast cancer requiring radiation therapy. She had her initial latissimus flap reconstruction elsewhere but was unhappy with her final results. Dr. Geiger performed a revision of both sides, releasing scar tissue, adjusting her folds, and switching her implants for a better overall match with an excellent outcome. […]
