A 17 yo woman with 36DD-DDD breasts that have large since she was 13. She has not had any further breast development since she was 15. She has back pain, and also feels that her breasts are out of proportion to her body and draw undue attention. In addition she does not like the drooping appearance of her breasts. She is petite at 5’2” and 136 lbs .
She is shown before and again, 8 months after a superior pedicle breast reduction with a short T scar pattern and the removal of 250 gms of tissue from each side. Scars continue to fade and improve for 2 years or longer. She was meticulous in wearing a postoperative support bra and using the topical silicone that we recommended, as well as “resting her breasts” as instructed for 6 weeks after surgery. She loves her new shape and size, but is even happier to no longer have back pain. And the exciting news is that recent studies confirm that breast reduction via the inferior, medial or superior pedicle does not decrease the ability to breast feed later. And her clothes fit better now. She happily reports that she was able to go from a size 8 dress before her surgery to a size 4 for the most recent school dance! She is thrilled to be able to start her college without back pain or drooping breasts.
