I am considering a breast reduction. I have breasts that are FF! I am only 23, 5 ft 2, and I weigh about 135 pounds. I have tried to loose weight, but my breast stay large. I have always been self conscious about the way my body looks and would love to have a reduction, but I don't want the ugly scars. Is there any way to have a reduction without large scars? Another concern is my breasts are slightly starting to sag. If I were to leave them this size could they be lifted without scarring?

Answer: How to avoid breast reduction scars ? Thank you for the questions. With the breast reduction operation, there will be scars but certain measures like atraumatic techniques, suturing in multiple layers, use of absorbable sutures and good care of the wound and scar in post operative period can help reduce the scars. Use of silicone gels on scars can improve the quality of the scars.

Answer: Scars following breast reduction surgery T the trade-off for having smaller breasts are scars. We can use short scar techniques to limit the visible scars under the breast. If you have problems, we do have methods to help or we can revise them a year later. Nearly all scars will fade given sufficient time (years). Some skin types can develop problematic scars such as keloid scars, however this is rare. The vast majority of patients are so much happier with their smaller breasts, (less pain, aches and more comfortable in clothing), that they feel that the scars are a small price to pay.
