Case-3220 Gallery

Before and after bilateral small breast reduction and BIG breast lift in an 18-year-old woman.  She felt that her breasts did not match the rest of her young body – or mind.  They had a mild tubular shape and drooped excessively following precipitous weight loss.

A breast reduction removed just over 250 grams (picture a cup of milk) from each breast.  Her breasts were reshaped and lifted using the auto-augmentation technique.  She went off to college and unfortunately continued to suffer from a binge eating disorder, causing weight fluctuations up and down 20-30 pounds a few times.

Long-term follow up photos are shown 4 years after surgery.  She has recovered from her eating disorder and is now maintaining a healthy, strong weight and a positive relationship with food.  Even with her postoperative weight gains and losses, her breasts have maintained their more perky shape and proportional size to her body.
