A young woman in her later teens with 38DD breasts. who has problems with back pain, shoulder pain, grooving, and irritation of her shoulders from the bra straps, difficulty exercising, and difficulty with dance competitions? She is “Tanner stage V” which means that she has completed puberty and is no longer growing. She is shown before and again, 14 months after bilateral breast reduction with the removal of 454 grams of tissue from each breast. 454 grams is equal to one pound. She is now a “C” cup and her symptoms have all resolved. Scars are typically redder and thicker for 6 weeks and then will fade and improve over the next 2 years or longer. Her scars have faded extremely well, in part due to the topical silicone and how she heals.
