I am currently a 36G, 5 feet 6 inches and 130 pounds and 36 years old. My breasts have always been a tremendous weight that causes back pain, headaches and overall posture problems. I have breastfed three children and I'm left with heavy tissue and sagging breasts. I am wondering if you think I would be eligible for a short scar or scarless breast reduction and not in need of the full anchor scar? I've attached my photo for your review. Thank you so much in advance.
Overall I am a great fan of vertical reductions and mastopexys in the lejuer fashion. You are unfortunately the very case where you require a traditional inverted T reduction. In order to place the nipple areola in the proper position, it will need to be raised 4.0cm – 5.0cm at the very least to get some where near the mid humeral line. That would leave too much skin to be excised centrally and would require an inframammary extension. You would get a better overall shape going into the procedure, designing it with an inverted T.
Also surprisingly, you will probably not need a great deal of breast tissue removed since when you diminish the skin envelope the remaining breast tissue takes on a significantly smaller volume.
Finally, liposuction to your breasts (aka "scarless breast reduction") would only make them more deflated and really has very limited use.
Here's a link to a case that's similar to your own so that you can get a better sense of what an inverted T reduction would look like.
I have one larger breast. If i get it reduced will it be shaped funny from the other? Or would i need to get the one reduced and lifted to make them both look normal because they sag some.
The answer to that question is really based on how both breasts appear. If both breasts are quite ptotic (droopy) then they both would need to be lifted and the larger one reduced, so that the nipple areola complexes can be at a similar height. In the case were one breast has an excellent shape then the goal would be to reduce the opposite side and with the proper measurements create equal distances between the nipple areola complex to both the mid line jugular notch and inframammary crease. Those cases are quite rare since there is usually an issue with the opposite breast. Sometimes even if you are not displeased with the shape and appearance of the smaller breasts, it is difficult to get a good match with the opposite larger side without addressing both.
Hello, I'm a pro athlete, 5ft 8, 18%body fat. I had a breast reduction in July (19y.o) I was a ddd in my left breast and a dd in my right. I wanted to be a b cup which my surgeon agreed was possible&would suit my body. It's now January, I am a 34d cup in my right and 1/2 to full cup larger in my left. I'm disappointed with the result and was looking forward to the freedom b cup breasts would afford me as an athlete. Is a revision to a b cup possible and realistic?
It is unfortunate that you were not reduced to your desired size, but at this point a revision is quite reasonable particularly in light of persistent asymmetry. The main issue is the blood supply to the nipple areola which is based on a pedicle of breast tissue which can come in from various quadrants. I agree that it is probably most appropriate to have your original surgeon perform the revision since he will best know the surgical design.
