Several years ago you performed a breast reduction on a self conscious, under achieving young lady. I wanted you to enjoy these photos- who would have imagined a strapless dress! She is a 3rd year medical student, her new husband a 4th year student and she is timid no more.
Thank you,Truly,
Georgia".
