Breast Reduction/Liposuction – Patient 151

A woman in her early 50’s who wears a 36 DDD bra and is bothered by back pain, shoulder pain, difficulty exercising and postural problems. She is also bothered by axillary lipodystrophy- extra fat in the anterior axilla that makes it difficult for her to wear halter tops or dresses. She is 5’3” and 197 lbs and is shown before and again, just 4 months after bilateral breast reduction with the removal of more than 1300 gms of tissue from each breast as well as Power assisted liposuction of the anterior axilla using the S.A.F.E. technique. (Suction Aspiration Fat Equalization) Scars will typically continue to fade and improve for the first 2 years adfter surgery- she is already thrilled with her result and no longer has problems with back and shoulder pain or her posture. She looks forward to wearing summer dresses that show the top of her breasts and that she could never wear before.
