Scarring & Amount Of Reduction With Breast Reduction

It probably is feasible to reduce your J cup breasts to a C cup. The limiting factor is the preservation of sufficient tissue to insure proper healing of nipple-areolar area and incisions. There is scarring which varies a good bit from patient to patient, but it is usually happily accepted.
