Lejour Breast Reduction is best!

Breast Reduction Technique?

Thank you for the question. The “best” breast reduction technique should be individualized for each patient, mostly depending on their physical examination and goals.

Most experienced breast surgeons use the one that they consider best for each patient.

Vertical breast reduction (lollipop scars) best for most women.

Breast reduction techniques

There are too many techniques to mention here that have been tried, developed, modified over many years of breast reduction history. Each breast be reduced will require certain elements to achieve a desired result. Each patient should be treated as an individual and the techniques customized, modified, even combined for the more effective and safest surgery. Your surgeon should review the options available.
