An early ( 6 week ) follow-up on a woman in her later 50’s who is bothered by the weight of her 38 D cup breasts as well as looseness of the skin in her back. She had grooving and irritation of her shoulders from her bra straps, back pain and difficulty with her posture. She did not have enough breast tissue to be removed to be covered by her insurance company but decided to proceed on a cosmetic basis. She is shown just 6 weeks after bilateral breast reduction combined with a bra-line back lift. She had 219 gms of tissue removed from her right breast and 313 gms from her left breast to bring her down to a c cup. Her shoulder and back pain have resolved, and she loves her new shape and size. A bra-line back lift places the scar directly under the bra strap area. Scars are at their reddest and thickest at 6 weeks and will now start to fade and improve over the next 2 years or longer. I have recommended topical silicone to help the scars fade.
