This 17-year-old patient came to Dr. Romanelli seeking relief from her large, heavy breasts that were causing significant discomfort. The weight of her breasts was leading to neck and back pain, and it was making daily activities difficult, especially as a teenager.
Upon examination, Dr. Romanelli recommended breast reduction surgery to alleviate her physical discomfort and improve her quality of life. Additionally, he suggested using GalaFLEX™, a surgical mesh designed to provide extra strength and support when natural tissue can no longer adequately support the breasts. The GalaFLEX™ Scaffold is a biologically-derived mesh that ensures long-term soft tissue reinforcement, helping to maintain her smaller and lifted breast contour.
The breast reduction surgery was performed, and these after photos were taken 6 months post-op. She is now enjoying a newfound sense of freedom with improved posture and enhanced confidence. Her heavy breasts are no longer causing physical discomfort, and she’s able to navigate life with ease.
