This patient had very large and heavy breasts that were uncomfortable and she requested breast reduction surgery. Because of her size, short scar techniques such as a vertical breast reduction were not optimal. Using an incision around the areola, up and down, and underneath the breasts, breast reshaped to a size much more appropriate to her body. She healed beautifully, has minimal scars, and excellent functional improvement.
