Breast Reduction: Case 18, 17330

Description

This 50 yo woman was referred to Dr. Graham by the hospital Breast Health Center for breast reduction because of back, shoulder and neck pain. Her computer work exacerbated the discomfort of her heavy breasts. Regular chiropractic visits didn't resolve her symptoms. She was 5'2" at 120 pounds with 36D bra size. Many patients like her are told by their insurance company that they will not reimburse, but she was approved. if necessary we offer affordable reduction in our facility. Breast reduction (with lift) was performed as an outpatient and she returned to work about a week later, much more comfortable. She maintained natural nipple sensation and wore a 36C bra. She summed up her experience, "I didn't know I could feel so much better."
