This is a pleasant woman in her late 30's who was tired of suffering from large, heavy breasts that caused neck pain, upper back pain, shoulder pain, and uncomfortable bra strap grooving. She wore a 34 H cup brassiere. Bilateral reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction surgery) was offered to decrease her chronic pain symptoms and improve her quality of life. Breast reduction was performed using a Wise pattern (anchor-type scar pattern) with superomedial pedicle technique. Over 700 grams was removed from each breast. The patient healed without complication and experienced a dramatic improvement in her neck and back pain. She was very happy with her breast cosmetic results at the 1 year postoperative visit (as pictured).
