Breast Reduction
Overly large breasts can be a physical and psychological burden. Affected women are often unable to perform routine activities comfortably. They may suffer from back and beck pain, skeletal deformities and skin irritation. Self-consciousness is common and clothing is often difficult to fit, as the woman's breasts are deeply disproportionate to the remainder of her physique.
Women who suffer with overly large and heavy breasts often seek out and undergo breast reduction surgery foremost to alleviate their physical symptoms.
However, Dr. Belsley feels that achieving a more aesthetically attractive breast shape is an equally important aspect of this procedure.
Case Study:
Breast Reduction
This case depicts a 41 year old woman who wished to have slightly smaller and shapelier breasts. She underwent breast reduction using an inverted T or "anchor" incision pattern.
Her post-operative photographs depict her appearance approximately two months after surgery.
With optimal design before surgery, the portion of this incision that runs along the fold of the breast is nearly completely hidden.
Reduction of the areolar size for balance and proportion is an additional advantage of this procedure.
Case Study:
Breast Reduction
This case depicts a 29 year old woman with symptomatic breast hypertrophy who underwent a breast reduction using the inverted T or "anchor" incision pattern.
Because of this individual's symptoms, medical insurance covered a portion of the costs of this procedure.
Not only did her symptoms improve following surgery, but she also gained a more aesthetically proportionate breast.
Her post-operative photographs show her appearance approximately one month after surgery.
