Breast Reduction: Q&A

Can't a Breast Reduction Be Done with Just a Scar Around the Aerola?

Sometimes, breast reduction can be done without scars!
Hi.
1) About 10% of women can have breast reduction with liposuction alone, which is really scarless.
2) Most women need a lollipop scar.
3) A scar around the areola can be used occasionally for small reductions, and it can often be used for breast lifts.

Ultimate Breast Reduction technique has less scarring
Hi Beverly,
Great question! The Ultimate Breast Reduction technique completely reshapes, reduces and lifts breasts with minimal scarring.

Scars are hidden in the natural crease of the breast and around the areola. It offers upper pole fullness and long term lift by creating an internal bra from your own tissues. I...

Breast Reduction Scars
Thank you for your question.
Normally, the incision around the areola is a technique used for a minimal breast lift. It usually does not allow for breast tissue removal (as you would need for a breast reduction surgery).

Breast reduction incisions
Commonly breast reduction techniques involve either an anchor or a lollipop incision. While a circumareola incision can be used for a lift, it does not provide enough access to remove enough tissue for most reductions.

Breast Reduction - Can't a Breast Reduction Be Done with Just a Scar Around the Aerola?
Not usually, though it would be nice. There is actually only a limited amount of reduction that can be achieved with this technique - and, arguably, none since it's really only a lift. Nobody wants any of those scars so when you see them you can reasonably assume that they're necessary. There are, of course, some variants and some surgeons prefer one technique to another. But the larger the breasts and, more importantly, the greater the reduction desired, the...
