This patient is a 39-year-old woman from Huntington, Long Island, who came to Breast Reduction Surgeons of Long Island with chronic discomfort, lifestyle limitations, and difficulty with self-confidence due to large, ptotic breasts. A breast reduction with lift was performed by Dr. Hoschander to help her achieve long-term relief and restore natural proportions.
Below, she shares her experience using a simple but powerful lens: the problem, the solution, and the outcome.
The Problem
For years, I struggled with having overly large, heavy breasts that simply didn’t match the rest of my body. They caused daily upper back and neck pain. My posture was getting worse, and even basic movements like walking or lifting my arms felt uncomfortable.
I avoided shopping for clothes because nothing fit right. I always had to wear full-coverage bras with thick straps that left red indentations on my shoulders. Physically, I was drained. Mentally, I was frustrated.
And on top of the size, they had started to sag significantly. My nipples pointed downward, and my breasts sat low on my chest. I felt like I was carrying weight I couldn’t ever get rid of.
That’s when I started researching breast reduction.
The Solution
At my consultation with Dr. Hoschander, I felt an immediate sense of relief. He validated everything I was experiencing and walked me through the plan in detail.
He recommended a breast reduction with lift, which would:
- Reduce my breast volume to a more proportionate size
- Lift the breast tissue for a more youthful, balanced contour
- Reposition my nipples to a natural height
- Reduce the size of my large areolas
- Place scars in discreet areas that would fade over time
I felt informed and confident moving forward. Surgery was scheduled soon after.
The Outcome
The results exceeded my expectations. My breasts now sit higher and are a size that makes sense for my frame. Dr. Hoschander created a rounded, natural shape that looks like me.
Here’s what changed after surgery:
- Comfort restored: I no longer wake up with back and shoulder pain.
- Posture improved: Without the constant forward pull, I naturally stand taller.
- Movement is easier: Daily tasks, workouts, and even sleeping are more comfortable.
- Clothing fits: I can now wear standard bras, fitted tops, and anything I want.
- Confidence renewed: I finally feel like my body matches how I want to feel inside.
The scars are healing beautifully and are already less noticeable than I expected. They were placed with care, and I know they’ll continue to fade. What stands out even more is the symmetry. Dr. Hoschander gave me a shape that looks completely natural and well-matched on both sides.
A Lasting Difference
This case is a reminder that breast reduction isn’t just cosmetic. It’s a solution for physical discomfort, limited movement, and years of frustration. With thoughtful planning and a patient-centered approach, Dr. Hoschander helped this patient achieve lasting relief and an improved quality of life.
