Tummy Tuck Case 308

This patient is a 37 year old female from the Phoenix, Arizona area who came to my Scottsdale, Arizona area medical practice with complaints about large, heavy breasts and loose skin of the abdominal region. This patient reported difficulty with certain exercises due to her breast size and was also self-conscious about the stretch marks and excess abdominal skin.

For this patient, I recommended a breast reduction surgery to lift and decrease the weight of her breasts, while reducing the size of her areolas at the same time. I suggested using an inverted T or "anchor" style lift due to the significant excess of skin. For the abdominal area, I recommended a full abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck) with tightening of the abdominal muscles. I also felt that liposuction of the flanks (love handle areas) would further improve her appearance.

I performed a vertical breast reduction and removed approximately 607 grams on the right and 373 grams on the left. After the breast reduction, I performed a full abdominoplasty and liposuction of the flanks.

The patient recovered extremely well without any postoperative issues. She is seen in the photos at 6 weeks after surgery, and she is amazed by the incredible improvement in her physique.
