Breast Reduction: Case 31

Description

This 21 y/o woman consulted with Dr. Graham along with her mother. Her mother had been our satisfied patient eighteen years earlier! This young lady's breasts had grown larger than DDD+ cup size. Shoulder pain, upper back pain and pain at the base of her neck were her main symptoms. Her symptoms were basically constant, interfering with work, rest and activities. He health insurance agreed in prior approval and the procedure was done. Her recovery was uneventful. At 3 weeks postop she already "felt great." "I love them." She is "buying a lot on new shirts." She is only 4 months postop, and most sensation has returned.
