This is a patient in her 20s with H/I breasts who desired a breast reduction to help with symptoms including back/neck/shoulder pain, rashes under the breasts, difficulty maintaining her posture, and shoulder grooving from her bra straps. She had tried numerous treatments, including pain medications, massage therapy, and even wearing two bras at once (and you thought one was bad)! She underwent a bilateral breast reduction; 1484 g (3.3 lbs) was removed from the right breast and 1500 g (3.3 lbs) fromthe left breast. She now has relief from carrying around all that extra weight!

This is a patient in her 20s with DDD breasts who desired a breast reduction to help with symptoms including back/shoulder/breast pain, rashes under the breasts, shoulder grooving from her bra straps, and difficulty exercising. She had tried numerous treatments, including pain medications, chiropractor treatments, wearing multiple bras, and even wearing a bra 24/7, but still had symptoms from her large breasts. She underwent a bilateral breast reduction; 524 g (1.2 pounds) was removed from the right breast and 370 g (0.8 pounds) from the left breast. Breast reductions can also help to fix asymmetries, like this patient had.

This is a patient in her 20s with 34DDD breasts who wanted a breast reduction to help with symptoms including back/neck/shoulder/breast pain, rashes under the breasts, and shoulder grooving from her bra straps. She wears two bras at once and had tried other treatments to improve her symptoms, which didn’t work. She underwent a bilateral breast reduction; 1511 g (3.3 lbs) was removed from the right breast and 1627 g (3.6 lbs) from the left breast. That is just shy of 7 pounds of breast issue being removed!

This is a patient and her 40s who underwent a breast augmentation approximately 20 years prior after her breasts became deflated from pregnancy. She had submuscular saline implants filled to 325 mL placed via periareolar incisions, which had been performed by another surgeon. Almost immediately after surgery, she wished she had gone larger. The patient underwent a bilateral breast augmentation revision, with removal of her old implants and placement of new implants. A pocket revision was also performed, opening the capsule in the cleavage area and closing it down along the outer aspect with sutures (like an internal bra). She has Mentor round moderate profile 350 cc saline implants filled to 425 cc.

This is a patient in her 50s who wanted improvement in the volume of her breasts and removal of excess fat in the armpit area. She underwent a subglandular breast augmentation through inframammary fold incisions with Mentor round silicone 375 cc high profile implants. The patient also had liposuction of the armpit area. A total of 50 cc of fat was removed from each side.

This is a patient in her 20s who was dissatisfied with the volume and appearance of her breasts after pregnancy and 80 pound weight loss. She underwent a dual plane (submuscular) breast augmentation through inframmmary fold incisions with Mentor 500 cc high profile implants.

This is a patient in her 40s who previously underwent a vertical mastopexy with another surgeon and subsequently experienced a 70 pound weight loss. She was bothered by the volume loss of her breasts as well as the scarring. She underwent a revision of the vertical mastopexy with autoaugmentation from the lateral chest wall (the “side boob”) and fat grafting to the breasts. A total of 300 cc of fat was injected into the right breast and 370 cc of fat was injected into the left breast.

This is a patient in her 70s who was bothered by the appearance of her droopy breasts and extra skin. She was happy with the size of her breasts. She underwent a bilateral vertical mastopexy (breast lift) with autoaugmentation, which involves rotating some of the breast tissue from the lower breast to the cleavage area. Doing an autoaugmentation not only moves the breast tissue to a more desirable location but also helps the lift last longer.

BREAST REVISION: This is a patient in her 30s who underwent a submuscular breast augmentation with Mentor silicone 375 cc moderate plus profile implants and fat grafting to the breasts by another surgeon approximately 7 months previously. She was unhappy with the droopiness of the breast as well as the areola size. She underwent a pocket revision to open the implant pocket in the cleavage area and to close down the outer aspect of the implant pocket in addition to bilateral vertical mastopexies (lift). The same implant and pocket location were utilized.

BREAST REVISION: This is a patient in her 50s with a history of a sub muscular breast augmentation with saline implants approximately 15 years prior performed by another surgeon. Her old implants were high profile saline implants filled to about 500 cc. She was interested in having smaller implants and perkier breasts. She underwent a bilateral implant exchange to Mentor round silicone 350 cc moderate plus profile implants. Prior to placing the implant, the pocket where the implant was located was revised to help the implant sit in the proper position. This involved opening the pocket in cleavage area and using sutures to close down the outside of the pocket. The revision was completed with a vertical mastopexy (lift) with autoaugmentation.

BREAST REVISION: Implant Removal Cosmetic – This is a patient in her 70s who developed a grade III capsular contracture and ruptured implants after silicone implant placement over 40 years prior. She underwent a bilateral implant removal (approximately 200 cc) and total capsulectomy. The patient was not interested in having a breast lift.

BREAST REVISION: This is a patient in her 30s who previously underwent a breast augmentation with another surgeon and subsequently required a revision. She was bothered by the flat area on the lower aspect of the right breast and the tethering of the scar. She underwent fat grafting to the inferior aspect of the right breast and the right areola with release of the scar. A total of 59 cc of fat was injected into the right breast (the superior areola and the inframammary fold scar).

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION: This is a patient in her 50s with a history of left skin-sparing mastectomy for breast cancer. She underwent left breast reconstruction with a submuscular tissue expander followed by a saline implant and nipple areola reconstruction with a tattoo as well as a right breast augmentation for symmetry performed elsewhere over 10 years prior. She did not require any radiation therapy. She recently experienced rupture of her left saline implant. She desired a revision of her reconstruction, including replacement of the ruptured left breast implant, better symmetry, improved contour (specifically addressing the excess skin and fat along the outer breasts), and a reduction in size. On the left side she underwent removal of the ruptured saline implant and replacement with a Mentor round silicone 605 cc smooth moderate plus profile Xtra implant, pocket revision to improve the cleavage area and tethered scar (capsulotomy and capsulorrhaphy), scar revision along the lateral breast to remove the excess soft tissue, and fat grafting (174 cc injected into the cleavage area and indentation along the upper outer breast, harvested from the lateral chest wall and abdomen). On the right side she underwent breast implant removal with capsulectomy (removal of normal scar tissue around the implant) and a breast reduction with a superomedial technique; a total of 710 g (1.6 pounds) of breast tissue was removed with the breast reduction.

Eight months later, the patient underwent an second revisional surgery to improve her symmetry. This included fat transfer to the bilateral breasts (265 cc into the upper right breast and 160 cc throughout the left breast), liposuction of the left lateral breast, and scar revision of the right breast.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION: This is a patient in her 40s who was diagnosed with left breast cancer. She underwent a left skin-sparing mastectomy with direct-to-implant reconstruction. She has a Mentor round high profile 550 cc silicone implant placed above the muscle (pre-pectoral). After her surgery, she required radiation to the left breast. Anytime patients have a mastectomy just on one side (especially combined with radiation), they will have some asymmetry with their natural breast. Procedures can be done to help with symmetry, including breast lifts, breast reductions, and even breast augmentations.

This is a patient in her 30s with J breasts who desired a breast reduction to help with symptoms including back, neck, shoulder pain, rashes under the breasts, and difficulty finding clothes that fit appropriately. She underwent a bilateral breast reduction; 596 g (1.3 pounds) was removed from the right breast and 920 g (2.0 pounds) from the left breast. Many insurance companies will cover this surgery if you have symptoms from large breasts.

This is a patient in his 30s with bilateral gynecomastia. He desired a flatter, more masculine contour of the chest. He underwent liposuction of the fatty tissue and excision of the breast tissue with an arthroscopic shaver. 200 cc of tissue was removed from the left breast and 300 cc from the right breast. This is a minimally invasive technique that few surgeons in Michigan perform and can be done through a few ¼” incisions that are nicely camouflaged.

This is a patient in his 30s with bilateral gynecomastia, including a painful left breast mass. He desired an improvement in his symptoms and a more masculine contour of the chest. He underwent excision of the left breast mass through a periareolar incision followed by liposuction of the fatty tissue and excision of the breast tissue with an arthroscopic shaver of both breasts. 200 cc of tissue was removed from the left breast and 100 cc from the right breast.
