Before and after bilateral breast reduction and lift with liposuction of the axillary rolls in a 33-year-old woman. She was experiencing pain and limitation of activities due to the large size of her breasts. She wanted a reduction in her breast size, but to remain proportional to her body and “stay true to herself.”
A breast reduction removed nearly three pounds of excess breast tissue from each breast, reshaping and lifting her breasts using the auto-augmentation technique. Liposuction removed fat from her armpits and bra rolls, together with her abdomen, flanks, and thighs.
Long-term follow up photos are shown 3 years after surgery, with a stable breast shape and aesthetic result. Note that her shoulder grooves have dramatically improved, and the hyperpigmentation (darker color) in the region of her bra straps has resolved.
