ReDo Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck on Fayetteville, NC Mom*

This 48-year-old woman had a prior breast reduction performed 20 years ago. She has had 2 children and gained weight and additional enlargement of her breasts over the years. She sought smaller perkier breasts and treatment of her abdominal pannus. She was in excellent health. She underwent a mommy make over where she had a re-do breast reduction with removal of close to three quarters of a pound per side of breast tissue utilizing her prior Wise pattern incisions. Her areolae were reduced in size. She had abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks. The Vaser liposuction device was used to emulsify the fat and power assisted liposuction used to extract it. Dr. Lyle uses Exparel intraoperatively to reduce postoperative pain medication requirements.
