Breast Reduction – Patient 227

A woman in her later 50’s who describes herself as a 38 DDD and has had problems with grooving and irritation of her shoulders, back pain, shoulder pain, and a rash under the breasts.

She is 5’ 3” and 139 lbs and is shown before and again, 6 months after bilateral breast reduction with the removal of 475 grams of tissue ( 454 grams = one pound) from each breast.  She is thrilled with her new shape and size and her symptoms have resolved.  Scars will typically continue to fade for the next 18 months or longer.
