Before and After: Breast Reduction for Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain Relief
This young patient, just 16 years old, came to Dr. Romanelli seeking relief from the discomfort caused by her large breasts. At a size of 34DDD, she was experiencing significant neck, back, and shoulder pain, which was affecting her quality of life. Referred by her primary care physician, she was ready for a change and seeking a more manageable breast size.
After a thorough consultation, Dr. Romanelli determined she was an ideal candidate for breast reduction surgery. Additionally, he recommended the use of GalaFLEX™, a surgical mesh designed to provide extra strength and stability when the natural tissue can no longer provide adequate support. The GalaFLEX™ Scaffold is a biologically-derived mesh that offers soft tissue reinforcement and ensures long-term strength—perfect for supporting her new breast contour.
The breast reduction surgery was performed, and these after photos were taken 9 months post-procedure. She is now enjoying a new sense of freedom, with improved posture and enhanced confidence—her heavy breasts are no longer hindering her daily life or causing physical discomfort.
