Vertical Scar, Medial Pedicle Breast Reduction is Great.
The best form is that which your surgeon recommends. Do 3 consultations. I like the Hall Findley vertical reduction with a medial pedicle. Call her office in British Columbia and she will send you info. She has done 4000 + breast reductions. I believe she would do a vertical scar with medial pedical reduction.

Hello and thank you for the question.
You are certainly a candidate for a breast reduction. For optimal results, I would recommend a wise-pattern reduction utilizing a superior pedicle with an auto-augmentation. My recommendation would be to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your region for an evaluation.
Warmest Regards,
Glenn Vallecillos, MD, FACS

There isn't a single best way to do a breast reduction, it all depends on the size and shape of the natural breast as well as the amount of reduction that is desired.

Breast Reduction Type?
Thank you for the question and picture.
You may be an excellent candidate for a full breast reduction procedure ( probably a traditional Wise pattern in my hands); breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.
The resulting scar is around the areola, vertical and horizontally at the level of the inframammary fold.
Best wishes.

Best Breast Reduction
There are many different surgical techniques described to reduce breast size. The most popular are the Wise pattern (or upside down T) and the Lejour or vertical scar (also known as a lollipop). The "best" procedure for you depends upon your anatomy and your individual goals.

Best breast reduction
While there are many techniques and names for breast reduction procedures, most achieve similar results. In your case, a skin excision that results in an "upside down T" scar may be best. A consultation with a Board Certified plastic surgeon can guide you to the right choice

What type of breast reduction surgery technique is best?
There are a variety of breast reduction surgery techniques that I perform, so the choice is determined by the patient individual anatomy and goals.
Your breasts are quite pendulous (hanging) so you need a breast reduction surgery technique that substantially lifts the breast, and removes the amount of the breast skin and breast tissue to achieve the size you want.
Your plastic surgeon will discuss the options with you at your consultation.

Best Reduction Technique is One You/Surgeon Comfortable With
It certainly appears that you are a good candidate for a reduction. The only technique for which you are not a candidate is a circumareolar technique. All procedures have advantages/disadvantages. If there were a perfect operation, all surgeons would utilize it. Discuss your options with a BC plastic surgeons. I think you will be very pleased with the surgery.
