Breast Reduction Before & After Photos

This 24-year-old woman presented with complains of upper back and neck discomfort due to the large size of her breasts.  She wore a 36 DD bra and found it difficult to find proper fitting clothing and to exercise.  Her back and neck discomfort had been a problem since she was a teenager and did not improve with physical therapy or use of over-the-counter medications.  She requested that she undergo breast reduction to help relieve the symptoms and to allow her to lead a more active lifestyle

She underwent bilateral breast reduction surgery removing approximately 500 g of tissue from her left breast and 600 g of tissue from her right breast.  More tissue was removed from the right side to correct a degree of breast asymmetry noted preoperatively.  She recovered without difficulties, and return to work one week after surgery was completed.  She resumed normal exercise in six weeks.  She now fit into a 36 C bra and was happy with her new shape.  Her postoperative photographs were taken approximately 4 months after surgery.
