Before and after breast reduction in a 17 year old woman. She had all the expected symptoms of extremely heavy breasts in a young woman: inability to run, unwanted attention due to the size of her breasts, consequent poor posture, and always feeling like she needed to “hide them”.
Soon after high school graduation (but after graduation parties) is a common time that young women in their teens choose to have a breast reduction. They universally have trouble in sports and physical education, and they want to get a fresh start with smaller breasts that suit their body better when they go to college.
A breast reduction removed much of the heavy, hanging breast tissue from the bottom of this young woman’s breasts. She had preoperative asymmetry and heavy, pendulous breasts that did not suit her petite frame.
Follow up photos are shown 6 months after surgery. Her scars are maturing and she is running now without discomfort, and only wearing one light sports bra!
