Breast Reduction – Patient 135

A mother of 3 in her early 50’s who is bothered by grooving and irritation of her shoulders, as well as neck, back and shoulder pain which is related to her 36DD bra size. She also has difficulty exercising despite wearing extra bras, and also gets a rash under her breasts in the summer. She is shown before and again, just 4 1/2 months after bilateral breast reduction with the removal of nearly 1 1/ 2 lbs of breast tissue from each breast. Scars typically will continue to fade and improve for 2 years after breast reduction. At 4 ½ months there is still some redness of her scars but she is already thrilled with her new shape and size. And her symptoms noted above have all resolved.
