Breast Reduction (for Women) Before & After Case 213

As a musician, this 32-year-old woman felt that the weight and size of her breasts contributed to her fatigue when performing long musical sessions. Feeling that her breasts were getting in the way of her passion, she decided to find a Los Angeles breast reduction surgeon to help relieve her strain, eventually scheduling a consultation at Dr. Stoker's practice.

When she met with her surgeon, she explained that her primary concern was the size and weight of her breasts and she agreed with him that a breast reduction would best treat this concern. However, her surgeon also recommended that she have a laser breast surgery to address the drooping of her breasts. Laser breast surgery, he explained, is a supplement to the traditional breast lift where he would essentially create an internal "support" out of a section of skin which is sutured to the chest wall under the breast. The procedure can be performed with a standard breast lift without adding too much additional time during surgery and the patient benefits from continued support for the breast tissue after surgery.

After her cosmetic surgery, this patient was incredibly pleased with the results. The breast lift had given her a more hourglass figure and the reduction relieved her pain and fatigue during performances. Now, with her perky and youthful breasts, she doesn't have to worry about them interfering with her music.
