Before and After
This patient is an ideal breast reduction candidate because she has disproportionately large breasts. Her breasts are larger than every other part of her body and they make her look older and heavier than she is. Before surgery, this patient wanted to wear cute little tops and bikinis but was never comfortable doing so. She felt that a young girl shouldn’t have to have such large, heavy breasts. She didn’t like the way she had to try to hide them and make them look smaller all the time. She had trouble shopping for bras and she could never find a dress that fit her entire body. She had to go up three to four sizes just to get the dress to fit her breasts. After surgery, she looks more age-appropriate. She is more comfortable. She can wear what her friends can wear – including dresses!
