Am I a Good Candidate for a Short Scar Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast Reduction Technique?

Thank you for the question. Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.

Breast Reduction by Short Scar technique

Yes, I think you would be a candidate for a short scar breast reduction. I have been using the Short scar Peri Aerolar Inferior Pedicle (SPAIR) technique now for several years and have used the technique on women larger than you with great success. Women are happy with the result and I think the breasts stay lifted for much longer than with the traditional anchor technique. I would recommend seeking out a plastic surgeon in your area who performs the SPAIR technique. more

Short scar breast reduction has its limits.

Hi. I am always pushing minimal scar breast surgery, but you are not the best candidate for this approach. You have a lot of sagging, specially on the left. You need lollipop scars at least, and maybe even anchor type scars. see video
