Procedure Details

This patient presented to Prima Center with complaints of large breasts and back pain. Additionally she had a severe asymmetry of her breasts. I recommended a breast reduction using a superior medial pedicle and a anchor incision.

This patient presented to Signature Plastic Surgery with complaints of neck and back pain as well as heavy asymmetric breasts. She had a bilateral breast reduction that improved her shape, size and symmetry. More

REVIEW OF THE CASE

This patient had a significant reduction of over a 1000 grams per breasts as well as excessive length to her breasts and asymmetry. Sometimes the length of the breast would suggest that a free nipple graft (FNG) is indicated. I am moving away from FNG when feasible because the aesthetic outcome in my opinion is poor. I am able to maintain the health of th nipple using a a superior medial pedicle (location of breast tissue that remains and the nipple sits on to maintain circulation). This enhnaces the aesthetic result. The use of the anchor incision gives me access for aggressive removal of tissue when needed and is a powerful incision to use to achieve a lift.
