Hi, I am a 30 year old women and it’s has been 3 1/2 months since I had a breast reduction. While I am so very happy with my results and healing journey which I understanding is still in the process. I do have some undesirable extra skin gathered between my chest. Is there anything that can be done to remove or minimise this without creating a larger scar?

Answer: Undesirable extra skin after breast reduction You will likely have some improvement over time, but it is probably that there will still be some excess skin. This can be revised by removing the excess tissue, but this will likely extend the scars further toward the center of your chest.

Answer: A longer scar would improve the contour Hi helpful863749, The skin on the lower inner part of both the right breast appears loose, by comparison to the rest of the skin over both breasts which appears tight. It appears that additional skin could have been removed in the lower inner aspect of both breasts. I do see that there is a scar on the lower inner aspect of both breasts, and a small revision surgery would likely lengthen the scar toward the midline where the breast me, while allowing that excess skin to be re-excised. This would produce a shape more in line with the rest of the breast. I do not envision this will get substantially better over time, but there is also no harm in waiting. To be clear, since it was her specific question, I believe that the scar would be slightly longer but not necessarily larger in order to perform the revision. Hope this helps.
