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.

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.
