This is a wonderful patient in her mid twenties who presented to my office with interest in breast reduction surgery because of large, heavy, droopy breasts that were causing a lot of back, neck, and shoulder issues. The patient also had some fullness in the bra fat area (where the breast meets the armpit), so we discussed doing some liposuction in those areas to create a better contour. The patient overall wished to be on the small side of the spectrum, so we planned a pretty aggressive breast reduction using an inverted-T scar pattern (also known as an anchor scar pattern). During surgery I removed close to a pound of breast tissue per side and performed a full lift and bra fat liposuction.
Post- procedure, you can see how much longer her torso looks, how much perkier her breasts are, and how much more proportionate they are as well. Just as- or more- importantly, her back, neck and shoulder issues were completely resolved. The patient is very happy about how she feels, how she looks, how she fits in her clothes, in addition to all the other benefits that she gained from having a smaller, more youthful appearing breasts.
