Breast Reduction Gallery

Before and after bilateral breast reduction and lift with liposuction of the axillary rolls in a 29-year-old woman. Her breasts were “absolutely unmanageable” – large, pendulous, heavy and painful. She wanted a significant reduction in size so that she could actually exercise, but to remain proportional to her body and to have a nicer, rounder shape.

A breast reduction removed over a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of excess weight from each breast. Her breasts were lifted and reshaped using the auto-augmentation mastopexy technique. An intact blood supply, sensory nerve supply and milk duct supply was maintained to the nipples to allow for future breastfeeding and maintenance of erogenous sensation.

Liposuction removed 1.5 liters of excess fat from her armpits and bra rolls – that’s around a full bottle of wine’s worth of fat from each side! After surgery, she took a full month off work and gradually increased her activity, and ended up losing twenty pounds over the next few years thanks to a healthier lifestyle and exercise.

Follow up photos are shown 3 years after surgery, with mature scars and a beautiful, natural looking result, even after weight loss.
