Download scientific diagram | This 55-year-old woman is seen before (A, C) and 15 months after (B, D) a verti- cal breast reduction with resection weights of 360 g from the right breast and 228 g from the smaller left breast. Areola diameters are reduced. The right breast area is re- duced 35%. Right breast projection and upper-pole projection are both decreased. Her postoperative upper-pole contour is slightly concave. The right lower-pole area has been substantially reduced, increasing her breast parenchymal ratio (BPR). Her breast mound is elevated 4.9 cm. She underwent a simultaneous abdominoplasty and lipo- suction of the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, arms, and axillae. The photographs have been matched for size and orientation using the Canfield Mirror 7.1.1 software (Can- field Scientific, Fairfield, N.J.). BME indicates breast mound elevation; LPR, lower-pole ratio; MPost, maximum postoperative breast projection; MPre, maximum preoperative breast projection. from publication: Breast Reduction versus Breast Reduction Plus Implants: A Comparative Study with Measurements and Outcomes | Breast reduction is well-known to provide an improvement in physical symptoms. However, measurements show that this procedure is less effective in restoring upper-pole fullness. Breast implants effectively augment the upper pole.
