Breast Reduction Before & After Case 586

This 46 year-old woman presented to our office with many years of upper (moreso than lower) back pain, chest discomfort, bra strap indentations and occasional skin rashes.  She weighed approximately 200lb and wore a 40DD/DDD bra size. 

I advised her that she would be an excellent candidate for breast reduction via standard techniques.  She stated that she wished to remain relatively full to stay in proportion with her stable weight/body, and therefore only approximately 3 cup sizes were removed from either side (676 on the right, 736 on the left).  Her relative asymmetry was also addressed at that time.

The patient did very nicely (photos are from the early post-op period/2 months out), with resolution of a majority of her symptoms within weeks, and settling of the skin changes/scars over the next 3-6 months.
