Case-3979 Gallery

Before and after bilateral breast reduction in a 25-year-old woman.  Her breasts were abundantly oversized, and her nipples were pointing to the floor – this is called “Grade III ptosis.”  Ptosis (breast drooping), or the position of the nipple related to the rest of the breast, is rated out of three.

A breast reduction removed over two pounds of excess breast tissue from each breast.  A proportional amount of breast tissue was preserved so that she remained in proportion to the rest of her body.  Liposuction removed excess fat from her bra rolls and armpits – the axillary rolls.

Follow up photos are shown one year after surgery.  She feels she has a new lease on life and has taken up competitive pickleball – and is working toward a championship trophy!
