Breast reduction scars

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Possible to get breast reduction without leaving large scars?

I am considering a breast reduction.  I have breasts that are FF! I am only 23, 5 ft 2, and I weigh about 135 pounds. I have tried to loose weight, but my breast stay large. I have always been self conscious about the way my body looks and would love to have a reduction, but I don't want the ugly scars. Is there any way to have a reduction without large scars? Another concern is my breasts are slightly starting to sag. If I were to leave them this size could they be lifted without scarring?

There is no way to do a breast reduction without scars.  If it is well performed, the shape and size improvement will be worth the scars.  The scars get better with time significantly.  This is a sculpting operation so make sure the surgeon you choose is a real artist as shown in their photos.
