Breast Reduction Before & After Case 457

This patient sought breast reduction in Los Angeles due to ongoing discomfort caused by large, droopy breasts. She experienced chronic shoulder, back, and neck pain, along with bra strap grooving and persistent rashes beneath her breasts. These symptoms affected her daily life and limited her physical activities. Choosing to undergo breast reduction surgery, she aimed to transition from a 42DD to a 42C size, providing relief from both physical discomfort and clothing difficulties.

After surgery, the patient achieved a more proportionate breast size, leading to a decrease in pain and related symptoms. She reported improved posture, comfort, and ability to participate in routine activities. Armen Vartany, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performed the procedure at his Burbank practice near Los Angeles. Dr. Vartany emphasizes patient education and individualized care as central to his surgical approach.
