Breast Reduction: Case 2 (06001)

Description

This 47 year old woman was referred to Dr. Graham for breast reduction surgery by her Family Practice doctor. Her breasts caused her to buy size 14 tops and size 10 bottoms. They grew larger with each pregnancy. She wore a 36 DD bra, but it was too small. She was 5' 3" and 150 pounds. Over 800gm per breast was removed during out-patient surgery. She recovered well. The deep shoulder grooves should gradually improve. The dark pigmentation should lighten. The breasts no longer rest on her ribs & upper abdomen. They are more proportional for her body. Her symptoms greatly improved. She looked much better in clothes.
