Breast Reduction Mammaplasty

34 year old black female wanted smaller breasts. She had been pregnant twice before and had massive breast growth from her original 36B to a 38D. With pregnancy her breasts became heavy and subsequently pendulous with severe drooping. The sagging breasts were so severe she had diminished sensation of her nipple areola regions. She complained her breasts were too heavy with neck and back pain. She had severe shoulder grooving with bras and had severe pigmentation scars from the straps.

5 feet 1 inch tall and weighed 142 pounds and wore 38D bra.

The short anchor scar technique limits the length of the incisions under the breasts. The central chest region scars more than other parts of the body. There was too much sagging skin for a vertical only scar technique. Dr. Bermant uses special techniques to limit scars with this surgery. Notice the surgical sculpture early results. Breasts are three dimensional structures and views on the prior page and this one demonstrate my attention to detail. There is some swelling and the breasts will change over time.

Notice the difference after surgery. The breasts before surgery were sagging, drooping and heavy. After breast reduction and lift the shape and appearance have returned to something more youthful.
