Breast Reduction. Our 29-year old patient underwent breast reduction surgery to correct her problem of having very large and drooping breasts. At 5′ 4″” and 145 lbs., this patient wore a 42DD bra and experienced back pain and bra strap discomfort as a result of her large breast size. New York plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Therani recommended a bilateral reduction mammoplasty to remove excessive breast tissue and then reshape and lift the breasts to make them look smaller and more shapely, full, and round. Our patient’s nipples and areola were also pointing downward and were repositioned to sit more prominently on the breasts. Dr. Kevin Tehrani is an expert breast surgeon who has performed hundreds of successful breast reduction surgeries and strives to make every patient look and feel better with exceptional results. New York plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS, is renowned for his mastery in aesthetic surgery.
