Breast Augmentation Reduction Lift – Medial pedicle Mastopexy

This 43yr old Harrisburg area patient underwent a previous breast augmentation procedure with 350cc textured prepectoral implants. She says her implants have been hard since early after her initial surgery. She thinks her implants/breast are too big and wants them reduced in size. She has neck and back pain. She wanted to exercise more and said her breasts were too large. She was 38D, she wanted a reduction to a C. She likes having breast implants but would like to be smaller. She had Mentor Memory Gel high profile 275cc silicone implants placed with medial pedicle mastopexies to reduce the excess skin. Breast augmentation revision where larger implants are changed to smaller implants requires making the inside pocket smaller and generally a skin tightening procedure (mastopexy). A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well. A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted. A woman’s breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. There are many different breast lift techniques. This medial pedicle breast lift technique: lifts the nipple to a more normal position, creates a more youthful shape to the breast emphasizing minimal scarring.
