Breast Reduction in Tucson, AZ*

This 40-year-old woman from Sierra Vista came to our office to discuss her options for a breast reduction. Due to her large breasts, she had been experiencing pain in her back, neck, and shoulders. She was also having migraines and would get rashes and blisters under the folds of her breasts. She had told me that she was wearing I cup bras and was hoping that she could have her breasts reduced to a C cup. During her physical exam, I noted that she had bra strap grooving as well as significant sagging of the breasts, called ptosis. I felt that she would benefit from a breast reduction and discussed with her what this would involve. I would use a Wise pattern or anchor incision technique for her breast reduction, and I discussed with her where the proposed incisions would be. She had her surgery done at an outpatient surgery center in Tucson, Arizona. I removed nearly two pounds of tissue from each breast, and she was sat up during surgery to ensure that she had appropriate symmetry between the breasts. She was woken up and sent home after a short recovery at the surgery center. She was pleased to begin experiencing relief from her symptoms immediately after her procedure and is now six months out from her breast reduction.
