Before Breast Reduction Surgery
Patient Background
At 70, the patient had lived with very heavy, sagging breasts for many years, causing persistent back and shoulder pain and limiting her mobility and comfort. She was initially hesitant about surgery at her age, worried it might be unnecessary or risky.
Her sister encouraged her to seek help, emphasizing that a better quality of life and relief from pain were worth the procedure. She then consulted Dr. Pinky at Pink Apple Aesthetics in Bangalore to discuss options for breast reduction and lift.
Examination & Diagnosis
Clinical evaluation revealed:
- Severe breast ptosis (sagging)
- Large breast volume, contributing to musculoskeletal pain
- No prior breast surgeries or medical conditions that would complicate surgery
- The patient was otherwise fit for surgery after standard preoperative assessment
“Age should never prevent someone from achieving comfort and improving quality of life. In this case, breast reduction and lift not only relieved physical pain but also enhanced her confidence and overall well-being.”
Dr. Pinky performed a breast reduction with lift using the Wise pattern and superomedial pedicle technique, which allowed for:
- Removal of excess breast tissue
- Reshaping and lifting of the breasts
- Preservation of nipple-areola blood supply for safe healing
- Tissue Removed: ~600 grams per breast
- Anesthesia: Epidural anesthesia, minimizing systemic risks and promoting faster recovery
This technique reduced breast weight significantly, alleviating pain while creating a natural, uplifted breast shape.
- The patient tolerated the procedure well, with no major complications
- Special attention was given to wound care, infection prevention, and pain management due to age-related healing considerations.
- Early mobilization and supportive garments were recommended to enhance comfort and healing
The patient experienced a dramatic improvement in quality of life:
- Reduced breast weight alleviated chronic pain
- Lifted and proportional breasts enhanced comfort and mobility
- Improved posture and daily functioning
- Emotional relief and confidence at her age
