A ^Retired Plastic Surgeon's Notebook

The rolling pin test for breast sagging.

Seattle Plastic Surgeon shares a great patient story about sagging breasts.

One thing I just love about being a plastic surgeon is all of the great stories I hear from my patients.  Some of the stuff they tell me is better than anything I could make up.  Here’s one:

Last week I had a patient come in who was interested in breast surgery.   As we were chatting, she told me that she had passed the rolling pin test.  I had certainly heard of the pencil test but not the rolling pin test.  Just to refresh your memory, the pencil test is done by placing a pencil under your breast.  It the pencil stays put when you let go, you just may need the services of a plastic surgeon. 

Will your breasts hold up this rolling pin?

Well, my patient passed the rolling pin test.  Yes, it is true;  her breasts were so saggy and heavy that they could hold up a rolling pin. 

But not for long.  She has signed up for a breast reduction which always includes a breast lift.  I am certain that she will be thrilled with her result but what about her rolling pin?  It probably appreciated the attention.

Thanks for reading!  Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder
