BREAST REDUCTION PHOTOS

23 year old female patient before and 6 weeks after bilateral breast reduction (44DDD --> 44D).  Notice her smaller areolas and lifted breast shape.  Patient did not want to be any smaller.  Her shoulder discomfort and neck pain totally resolved.

23 year old female patient before and 6 weeks after bilateral breast reduction (44DDD --> 44D).  Notice her nice projection.

43 year old female patient before and 6 weeks after bilateral vertical breast reduction (46DDD --> 46C).  Notice her natural look.  There is no horizontal scar!  This was a vertical approach.  Patient no longer gets rashes in her breast folds.  She feels better about herself.

32 year old female patient before and 2 years after bilateral inverted T breast reduction (42F --> 42C).  Notice the difference.  Patient no longer has neck and back pain.

38 year old female patient before and 1 year after bilateral breast reduction with the traditional inverted T approach.  This patient had her surgery performed by another board certified plastic surgeon in the area - not by me!   Notice the boxy appearance, wide scars and marked asymmetry.

The Scars: 

Anytime a human being gets cut (with surgery or trauma), scars heal the following way:  Initially they are red, raised and hard.  Within 6-12 months, they are flat, white and soft.  Younger people (<18 years old) have scars that might stay active or red for up to 2 years.  Older people (>65 years old) have scars that might stay active or red for less than 3 months.

Vertical Scars (NO horizontal scars!) - this is the approach I use in about 90% of my patients needing a breast reduction.
