This 57-year-old woman came to Dr. Romanelli seeking relief from the heavy physical burden of oversized breasts. Wearing a G-cup, she struggled with severe neck, back, and shoulder pain, along with deep, painful shoulder grooving from heavy bra straps. After trying conservative therapies and support bras with no success, she was ready for a permanent solution.
During her consultation, Dr. Romanelli found her to be an excellent candidate for a bilateral breast reduction, which was deemed medically necessary. To treat the painful indentations on her shoulders, he also recommended fat grafting to restore the lost tissue volume caused by the chronic strap pressure. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia, successfully removing over 650 grams of tissue (about one-and-half pounds!) from each breast while repairing her shoulder contours.
She felt instant relief from her back pain immediately after surgery and noticed a dramatic improvement in her posture. Now several months post-operative, she is thrilled with her lighter, beautifully proportioned figure and is finally enjoying an active, pain-free lifestyle.
