A woman in her late teens with 38 DDD cup breast and lipodystrophy ( bulging) of the anterior axillae who is bothered by shoulder pain and irritation from her bra straps, back pain, problems with her posture and difficulty exercising due to the size of her breasts. She is shown before and again, 4 ½ months after bilateral breast reduction combined with liposuction of the axillary lipodystrophy. She is 5’ 3 ¼” and 179 lbs and had 780 grams of breast tissue removed from each breast ( 454 grams = 1 pound) and 700 cc of liposuction from each breast along the lateral breast and anterior axilla. Scars are typically at their reddest and thickest at 6 weeks and then will fade and improve over the next 2 years or longer. We are having her use topical silicone to help the scars to improve faster. At 4 ½ months they are typical for this stage and can be expected to continue to improve. She is thrilled with her new shape and size, and her symptoms have all resolved.
