Mommy Makeover Case 146

This patient is a 34 year old female from Arizona who presented to my Scottsdale, Arizona area medical practice with complaints about oversized, asymmetric breasts and abdominal contour issues. 

With regards to her breasts, this patient had significant physical symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, bra strap grooving, and shoulder pain.  This patient also had difficulty finding bras and clothes that fit due to her large breast size and severe asymmetry.

With regards to her abdominal area, this patient had undergone a tummy tuck by another surgeon, and was unhappy with the excess fat and skin (dogears) in the love handle areas.

I recommended a breast reduction surgery using an anchor scar pattern in order to lift and reshape the breasts.  I explained that despite her large size, I would be able to leave her nipples and areolas completely connected to the underlying breast tissue.  I also recommended a revision of her abdominoplasty with both direct skin removal and liposuction of her flanks (love handles).

I performed a breast reduction and removed approximately 650 grams on the right and 450 grams on the left.  After the breast reduction, I performed liposuction and skin resection of the flanks.

These postoperative photos were taken approximately 6 weeks after surgery.  At this point, the patient had complete resolution of her physical symptoms, and was extremely happy with her improved appearance.

Surgeon: Dr. Cohen
