After dealing with symptoms caused by large, heavy breasts, including back, neck and shoulder pain, grooves in the shoulders caused by bra straps, and even numbness and tingling in her hands, this 32-year-old Dallas patient decided enough was enough. Breast reduction surgery is one of the few cosmetic surgery procedures that may sometimes be covered by insurance due to the very reasons that compelled this patient to finally do something. The pain and numbness can lead to permanent nerve damage if not treated in a timely fashion. This patient’s greatest result is what she doesn’t have anymore….daily pain. She’s now able to be much more active in her children’s lives because she doesn’t have pain when she plays with them. Over 400 grams of breast tissue were removed from her breasts leaving a full C-cup size as the patient desired. Her breasts are now much more proportionate to the rest of her 5’6″, 145# frame. She is very happy with the size of her breasts, which are smaller, and the size of her life, which is much bigger.
