Cleveland Plastic surgery Case of the Week -Breast Reduction and Lift

This Ohio patient from came several years ago to see Dr. Medalie about her neck, shoulder and back pain. He diagnosed her with symptomatic macromastia and felt that a bilateral reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction and lift ) would be the best procedure for her. Her starting cup size was 38 F and she wanted to be a “C-D” cup post-operatively. He performed the cosmetic surgery as an outpatient at his aast side surgery center and the patient tolerated the surgery very well. At three months she was very pleased with her result and reported that her symptoms had completely resolved. The breast shape and nipple-areolar position and size were more symmetric and aesthetically appealing.
