CASE STUDY
BREAST REDUCTION & SUPER BREAST LIFT
CASE OVERVIEW
This patient had always had large breasts. In high school they made her uncomfortable, but she grew into them and by her twenties and thirties enjoyed being a DD cup size. Then when she turned forty, things started to change. She gained weight in her breasts, and they grew, which caused sagging. “It got to the point where I had to wear baby powder under my breasts because they got so irritated, red, and itchy.”
PATIENT PROFILE
AGE: 49
PRIMARY CONCERNS
Her biggest complaint was large, sagging, breasts. As she aged her once perky, youthful breasts began to look and make her feel matronly. She also was unhappy with the bra roll that had developed under her bra strap. “I would not wear t-shirts anymore because all I saw was the roll from my bra strap.”
CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT
This Newport Beach patient worked as an OR nurse with other plastic surgeons, so she knew what to look for when selecting a surgeon. “Dr. Anton’s technique was the best and so were his results. He is more detail oriented, especially when it comes to the shape of the breast and breast symmetry.” This was especially important issue for this patient because as she had gotten older she noticed that her left side was bigger than her right side. When she pointed this out to Dr. Anton he described how he would approach this surgically to give her the symmetry she desired. “I told him I didn’t want my breasts to be a lot smaller. I just wanted them to look like they used to look when I was younger. I have curves so I needed my breasts to go with the rest of my body.”
“When I went to Mexico all my girlfriends immediately noticed how great my breasts looked in my bathing suit. For the first time in a long time I felt good about my body.”
TREATMENT PLAN
– Bilateral Breast Reduction
– No Drain Super Breast Lift
– Curved Liposuction
Before surgery the patient was marked in the sitting position. These marks are the guidelines Dr. Anton follows in surgery to achieve the kind of symmetrical results this patient needed to even out her breasts. He removed 310 grams (a little over half a pound) of tissue from her right breast and 430 g of tissue or almost a pound from the left breast. He then performed a No Drain Super Breast Lift to lift and tighten internal and external tissues. He then performed Curved Liposuction in the bra roll area to remove extra fat and smooth her body contours.
PATIENT RESULTS
HOW DO YOU FEEL AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE?
As an OR nurse she knew what to expect as far as recovery and followed doctor’s orders limited her activities for the first few weeks to avoid raising her heart rate or blood pressure. She was back to work in a week careful not to engage in any heavy lifting. Her scars healed nicely and continue to improve with time. “I know a lot of patients worry about the scars, but honestly the tradeoff is so worth it and they heal really well. I just love my new boobs because they are exactly like my old boobs!”
