I'm concerned with the technique used for a breast reduction and lift completed last September. Originally the scar wasn't in the crease and my surgeon revised this a few months later. The technique used extended the anchor scar well into my midline. I don't necessarily want any revision again but is there something that can be done about the scarring? There appears to be a fold and It's very visible from a swimsuit or low cut blouse.

Answer: 1 year post op-breast lift, can something be done for anchor scar in midline? Hello @Persistent6482 thank you for your question. Incisions are made based on specialist expertise and technique to obtain the best aesthetic result. There are 3 types of scars for a breast lift. During a breast reduction with prosthesis change, we make a periareolar incision to reposition the prosthesis pocket or the plane in which the prosthesis is situated. This will give the best esthetic result.The other incision that I always make is an L-shaped one. It's the one I always do, because the L-shaped scar allows the patient to have a scar-free cleavage. I have been performing the technique for 21 years and it is a technique that works perfectly in breast lift, breast reduction and reconstruction.I never use the anchor scar, because for me the best aesthetic result comes from the L shape scar. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
