DR. ARUN RAO

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Hello, I’m Dr. Arun Rao, the heart and soul behind Rao Plastic Surgery in Tucson, AZ. My journey in medicine is not just a career; it’s a calling deeply influenced by my diverse educational background and my commitment to my community. After graduating from Northwestern University, I embarked on an enriching medical education journey in Puerto Rico at the Universidad Central del Caribe. This experience not only shaped my medical skills but also deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives.

Breast Lift procedure details

This is a 28 year old woman with hypertrophy and grade 3 ptosis in her breasts who was seeking a consultation for a breast reduction and possible mastopexy at Rao Plastic Surgery. She was wearing DD cup bras and was looking to be around a C cup. She was experiencing back, neck and shoulder pain caused by her large, heavy breasts. Our physical examination showed bra strap grooving, inframmatory fold rashes, as well as grade 3 ptosis, or sagging, of her breasts. During her consultation, I believed she would be a great candidate for breast reduction surgery as well as a mastopexy, or breast lift, in order to help her achieve the comfort and appearance that she was searching for. Soon after, I performed the surgery at an outpatient surgery center in Tucson, AZ. The size of her breasts were slightly different. Based on the size and symmetrical difference, I used an anchor incision technique, and removed 250 grams of breast tissue from the right side, which preoperatively was significantly larger than the left breast. I then removed 327 grams of breast tissue from the left side, and performed the breast lift to follow, which created the best symmetry. The surgery went well, and she had a smooth post-operative course. It has now been a few years years since her surgery, and is no longer experiencing the pain and discomfort that she had pre-operatively. She is a happy, confident, and satisfied woman post-surgery!
