Breast
Reduction surgery offers relief
to women who suffer from back, shoulder,
and neck pain due to the size of
their breasts. Breast reduction
can produce a dramatic change in
lifestyle and also enhance body
image. Breasts must be matched to
the body shape of the patient for
an overall balanced look.
A traditional breast reduction and lift (inferior pedical based mastopexy or reduction mastopexy), relies on the breast skin to hold the breast tissue to its higher position on the chest wall. This will inevitably lead to recurrent ptosis (hanging or bottoming out) of the breast due to the skin stretching. The “Dermal Wing Mastopexy” or “Dermal Wing Reduction” acts much like an internal bra. These techniques utilize the strength of the normally discarded dermis to re suspend and fix the fallen breast tissue to a higher position on the chest wall and allows the breast skin to be re draped around the newly positioned breast tissue. This is less reliant on the breast skin envelope for support. Immediate improved fullness in the breast upper poles (cleavage line) is noticed, along with what I feel is a longer lasting uplifted breast due to the added support of the internal “dermal Wings”.
In Dr. Leber's practice, he has found this technique often provides sufficient upper pole volume (cleavage), in an otherwise deflated breast, often making placement of an implant unnecessary.
