The Patient's Goals
For this 44-year-old international patient, the problem was physical before it was aesthetic: heavy breast tissue driving neck and back strain and limiting how freely she could move. She wanted a lighter, proportionate chest and a result that healed cleanly on deeper skin, where scar care matters more. Her plan centred on a reduction mammoplasty with an internal lift, a combination Canadian patients with the same symptoms often look into.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
Our priority for this breast reduction case was symptomatic relief, with scar planning weighted toward her skin type from the start.
- Glandular resection and reshaping: We removed the excess glandular volume to cut the weight load on her neck and shoulders, then reshaped the remaining tissue on a secure pedicle to protect blood supply and nipple sensation.
- reduction results for deeper skin tones: Because hyperpigmentation and keloid risk run higher on deeper skin, we planned conservative incision tension and a structured scar-care regimen rather than a standard one.
- Recovery Protocol: She completed our post-operative plan with HBOT and LLLT to support healing and reduce inflammation along the incision lines.
