- Breast Reduction (for Women)
Details for Case #8396
Large, pendulous breasts can be uncomfortable and painful for many women. This 24-year-old woman suffered from poor posture in addition to neck, shoulder, and back pain because of her breast size. At 5 ft. 2 in. and 155 lbs, she wore a size 36F bra and often had trouble finding undergarments that fit. She knew she couldn’t live with the discomfort or burden of heavy breasts any longer and contacted Marina Plastic Surgery Associates to meet with a Santa Monica area plastic surgeon.
She met with her surgeon and told him about the problems she faced because of her breasts. She explained that she often developed rashes beneath her breasts and had painful indentations from her bra strap. He told her that she would be a good candidate for a breast reduction in Los Angeles. The procedure would help to decrease her breast volume and provide better shape and position.
Her surgeon performed a breast reduction using the Laser Bra method, which helps to create an internal bra that supports and lifts the breast even after surgery. Her breasts are now much more proportional to her frame and appear perkier than before. She no longer suffers from pain and is very happy with her new 36C bra size.
