I'm only 22, but I get back aches from the weight of my breasts. They are saggy and heavy. What can I do?

Dear Rational6958,
breast reduction is best suited for women who wish to decrease the size of their breasts. While there are different techniques used to perform this surgery, I prefer the vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern, which reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. I also use a SAFE liposuction technique to reduce additional fat around the stubborn axilla area and bra line. This way, my patients are achieving beautiful results with minimal incisions which reduces downtime and delivers an overall better breast shape long term.If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question. I am so sorry that you dealing with that. I know that can be very frustrating! Based on your concerns and current pictures, I think a breast reduction would be the best surgical fit for you. It will help reduce the size and weight of the breast. Most patients find a lot of pain relief after surgery. I would suggest setting up a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to help assist you with this.
