Breast Reduction (for Women) Case

Details for Case #8956

Feeling that her heavy, burdensome breasts made her mid-section look round, this 46-year-old woman was very unhappy with her breasts. She was bothered not only by their size, but their asymmetry as well. So she decided to explore her options for plastic surgery in Los Angeles.

When she came to Marina Plastic Surgery Associates, she asked about breast reduction surgery and during their discussion, her surgeon recommended that she consider a breast lift in addition to a breast reduction. The breast lift would make her breasts look perkier and more youthful, and if her surgeon performed a Laser Bra breast lift, her breasts would stay perkier for longer.

The Laser Bra is a method of breast lift that involves creating an internal “bra” which supports the breast tissue after surgery. Created from a section of skin that is usually discarded during a lift, the “bra” helps to prevent the breast from “bottoming out,” where the breast tissue droops below the nipple after surgery. The Laser Bra also holds the breasts up, creating noticeable cleavage for patients.

For this patient, the Laser Bra breast lift combined with her breast reduction in Los Angeles dramatically improved the proportion of her body and helped relieve her physical discomfort. Now, her breasts are symmetrical and more manageably sized in addition to looking youthful.
