Breast Lifts and Breast Reductions
Before and After Gallery
You're worth it.
Age: 35
Procedure: Breast Lift With Asymmetric Reduction
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA
Uplifted! This 35-year-old busy mom, had been self conscious and unhappy with the appearance of her breasts for years. She wanted them to be more symmetric and perkier.
She underwent an asymmetric breast reduction during which the nipple and breast tissue were lifted.
In these photos she is 6 weeks postop from breast lift and feels great! She remains slightly swollen but as the swelling goes down and scars soften they will feel and look more natural as time goes on.
Age: 18
Procedure: Breast Reduction
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
This young woman had a previous breast reduction with another surgeon when she was 15-years-old. Over the following years her breasts continued to grow until the point where her neck and back pain was so uncomfortable she couldn't participate in sports and activities she loved. She was uncomfortable in a swim suit so gave up swimming and even special order bras didn't give her enough support to comfortably play volleyball or cheer. This is a photo at 3 months postop following revision breast reduction surgery where she got to choose how much tissue she wanted removed to fit her goals. She is back to all of her favorite activities and has renewed self confidence! She is so happy she can buy bras and bathing suits from "regular stores" and is so excited to be participating in sports and cheer again. I am so thankful she trusted me with her surgery!
Age: 29
Procedure: Breast Reduction
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA
Feeling good! This brilliant 29-year-old woman had neck and shoulder pain associated with the disproportionately large size of her breasts for her size for many years. Despite her symptoms, completing physical therapy requirements, and suffering from rashes insurance denied her breast reduction unless she was willing to take off enough breast tissue to be an estimated A- cup. She elected to undergo breast reduction without insurance so she could choose to remove enough breast tissue to give her relief without taking off so much breast tissue that she wouldn't feel like herself anymore.
In these photos she is 6 weeks postop from breast reduction, during which the breast and nipple are also lifted. She is very happy with her outcome- both the symptom relief and appearance!
Age: 71
Procedure: Breast Lift & Small Reduction
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA
This 71-year-old woman had been wanting a breastlift for decades. She is full of life and was tired of her heavy breasts holding her back. Her biggest complaint postoperatively is that she hadn't done it years ago. She is raising her teenage granddaughters and is so appreciative that she can keep up with them with the weight lifted off her chest!
She is thrilled with her results and loves how her clothes finally fit!
Age: 50
Procedure: Breast Reduction
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
This 50-year-old woman was suffering from macromastia for decades before undergoing breast reduction. Prior to breast reduction she was having 15 migraines a month and also had associated back and neck pain. She could never find clothing to fit her properly and finally decided she wanted to pursue surgery. She had a breast reduction and breast lift. Her postoperative recovery was complicated by some delayed wound healing but she was grateful every step of the way! Her migraines reduced in number to a more manageable 1-2 a month, her back and neck pain is less intense, and she was healed in time for her sons wedding! Breast reductions are life changing. There is no other surgery I've done that has the same impact it has on women's confidence and a number of other physical symptoms.
Age: 34
Procedure: Breast Lift & Tummy Tuck
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA
"I love my cute belly button!" This 34-year-old was able to get back to her goal weight after having three children all of which she breastfed. She had a breast reduction years ago but after breastfeeding her breasts were stretched and had lost their perky appearance.
Through good old fashioned grit, determination, healthy diet choices, and exercise she was able to reach her goal weight but remained disappointed that her outward appearance did not match how young and fit she felt.
During our first consultation we discussed that no amount of will-power can repair a large chronic rectus diastasis (separation of abdominal muscles) or remove extra skin. She underwent abdominoplasty/tummy tuck with rectus diastasis repair and breast lift. She is thrilled with her results!
Age: 70
Procedure: Breast Reduction
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA
It is never too late! This 70-year-old lady has wanted her breasts lifted and just a little bit smaller for decades. It is now three months since she underwent a breast lift with a small reduction and she is tearful postop as she shares the drastic change this has had on her self esteem.
In her words
"If this is a dream, don't wake me up because I have never felt so good (about myself) in my life."
Age: 27
Procedure: Breast Lift
Surgeon: Dr. Kate Impastato
Location: Vancouver, WA
This selfless 27-year-old mother of two breastfed both of her children. Once she weaned her youngest she was really unhappy with the appearance of her breasts. She wanted to keep as much volume as possible but wanted her breasts lifted and perky!
She is 3 months postop from breast lift and feels great! She enjoyed swim suit shopping for the first time in years and feels confident in her own body again. She is so excited that she doesn't waste precious time thinking about her breasts anymore! She just throws on her clothes and goes! No more body checking!
