Breast Reduction in North Carolina*

Women typically seek breast reduction for issues of sagging breasts, postpartum changes, neck and back pain as well as shoulder grooving. This 29-year-old woman did have some issues with her neck and back related to her breast but really had not done any documentation. She was a 36 DDD and desired to remain a D cup. The plastic surgeon has the liberty to attempt to preserve the appropriate amount of tissue to meet your size desire. There is really no scientific way to determine cup size and even plastic surgeons who do this for a living cannot guarantee a specific cup size. Cup size depends on bra manufacturer and body habitus. This patient had just over a pound removed from each breast and was very pleased with her D cup breasts. She felt she could wear different clothing styles and noted that she appeared slimmer despite not really losing much weight from the breast reduction itself. Breast reduction not only relieves neck and back pain but improves the appearance of the breasts.
