Breast Reduction with Keyhole Technique – Denver, CO | Dr. Francesco Campanile

This 59-year-old patient consulted Denver board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Francesco Campanile because she was unhappy with the size and weight of her breasts. Women with overly large breasts often experience discomfort such as neck, shoulder, and upper back strain, which leads many patients to seek breast reduction surgery to improve both physical comfort and breast shape.

During her consultation at Campanile Plastic Surgery in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Campanile performed a detailed evaluation and noted mild breast asymmetry, with the right breast slightly larger than the left. Measurements showed the sternal notch to nipple distance was 37.5 cm on the left side and 39 cm on the right. To restore balanced breast proportions and a more youthful position of the nipples, Dr. Campanile recommended a breast reduction using the keyhole technique, which allows for significant reshaping and lifting of the breast while removing excess tissue.

The surgical plan involved elevating the nipple–areola complex approximately 16.5 cm on the left and 18 cm on the right, while removing excess breast tissue to reduce overall breast size and weight. This technique helps create smaller, lifted, and more proportionate breasts that better complement the patient’s body frame.

Breast reduction surgery is widely known for having high patient satisfaction and a relatively comfortable recovery compared with some other cosmetic procedures, since the surgery primarily involves removing excess tissue rather than manipulating muscle. Dr. Campanile also performs all suturing personally, using meticulous plastic surgery closure techniques designed to help achieve refined scars and optimal healing.

The patient is shown here three months after her breast reduction surgery in Denver, performed by breast surgery specialist Dr. Francesco Campanile. Her results demonstrate improved breast symmetry, reduced breast volume, and a higher, more youthful breast position. She is extremely pleased with her results and feels much more comfortable and confident.
