Breast Reduction Breast Reduction Case 5

Case Details

This 32-year-old female who lives near Austin, Texas came to Dr. Piazza at his office location at Seton Southwest to discuss breast reduction surgery. She felt that the weight and size of her breasts contributed to neck, shoulder and upper back discomfort. She had difficulty fitting into clothing because of the size of her breast and really wanted to feel good in a bridesmaids dress for her friends upcoming wedding.

During her initial consultation, Dr. Piazza explained the different breast reduction techniques and explained how he prefers short scar breast reduction surgery to reduce the presence of unsightly scars on the breasts. Dr. Piazza also explained that her symptoms of discomfort would be relieved by reducing the size of her breasts if her breasts were truly the cause of these symptoms. He explained that his goal was to effectively reduce the volume of the breast while creating a pleasing shape.

In surgery, Dr. Piazza removed skin, fat and breast tissue while sculpting her breasts to create a pleasing shape. He also reduced the size of her areolas and centered her nipples and areolas over her breast mound. Several sutures were placed inside the breast to move the actual breast tissue upward on her chest wall.

After surgery, she recovered well and was back to performing normal daily activities in 7-10 days. She is happy with the size and shape of her breasts and feels that her breasts fit her body. Dr. Piazza takes great pride in reducing breast volume to achieve symptom relief while creating a beautiful shape.

Her breast enhancement surgery was done in an ambulatory surgical center in Austin, Texas.
