Breasts reduction which removed 1.5 lbs of tissue per side using short scar incisions

before
after

This 40 year old woman underwent breast reduction in which approximately one and a half pounds of tissue was removed from each breast.  The remaining breast tissue was then rearranged to form a new breast shape that is shorter and rounder.  This "rearrangement" process is very similar to what is done in a breast lift and in fact, each breast reduction I perform includes a breast lift.

In this individual’s case, the incisions used to perform the breast reduction were of the “lollipop” or short scar type.  This method of breast reduction avoids any incisions in the cleavage and  in most instances along the lower fold of the breast.
