This patient underwent a vertical reduction mammoplasty (breast reduction) to decrease the size of her breasts and alleviate her symptoms of discomfort from the large breasts.  Visually, this brings her breast size into aesthetic balance with her torso.  The reduction gives an uplifted appearance and better shape to the breasts.  The vertical technique also involves a smaller total incisional length with a complete avoidance of the traditional inframammary incision.
