Description:

This patient is a 22 year old female who desired to decrease her breasts a full cup size in order to reduce her discomfort and postural issues related to her breasts. There are three main components to every breast reduction. The first component is a lift of the breasts. This is best displayed in the side view pictures where you can see the patient's breasts have been pulled upwards towards the top of her chest, giving them a rounder and fuller appearance. The second and third components are the reduction of the entirety of the breasts as well as the reduction of the areola. These changes can be seen in the front-view picture. Dr. Mountcastle removed a total of 460 grams of tissue from her breasts, and the patient loved her results!
