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.
