Augmentation & scar revision recommendations post reduction? (Photos)

January 6, 2024
Asked By:redrocksgal in Fore Store, Virginia

Hello, I had a breast reduction in 2017. Although I asked questions, we never discussed incision placement. I was horrified to see how high the incisions went – an inverse "V" between my breasts. The scars are still very visible and red. The final blow was that the surgeon removed more than I requested, and I ended up a size C, not D (from GG). Mortified, angry with myself and him. I would like some fullness back, while also removing/improving the "V" scars. Recommendations?
