Breast Reduction (for Women) Before & After Case 211

The weight of her breasts was causing a great deal of pain for this 27-year-old woman. She was tired of having constant pain in her neck and back and wanted to find a talented plastic surgeon who performed breast reduction in Los Angeles. After some research and careful consideration, she made an appointment at Dr. Stoker's practice.

During her initial consultation, this patient discussed her concerns and explained what breast size she would like to be. Together with her surgeon, they determined that a breast reduction and a breast lift with the laser breast surgery would give her the kind of results she wanted. Although she only had moderate sagging, a breast lift would make her breasts appear perky and youthful, and with the added laser breast surgery, her breasts would retain their attractive position for longer.

The laser breast surgery combines a traditional breast lift with the support of an internal "support" made from the patient's own skin. During a standard breast lift, a small section of skin is removed and then discarded, but during a laser breast surgery procedure, this skin is treated with a CO2 laser and then sutured to the chest wall under the breast. The treated skin keeps the breast tissue lifted and can dramatically improve the longevity of breast lifts.

After her cosmetic surgery, this patient's breasts are smaller, but still look youthful and feminine. She was happy that her surgeon had maintained the shapeliness of her breasts while still providing the relief from neck and back pain.
