Will breast reduction cause nasty side boob scars?

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Candidates for breast reduction will typically have documented evidence of neck/back and shoulder pain as well as rashes and bra strap grooving attributable to the increased breast weight. They will often demonstrate that these symptoms have been resistant to more conservative measures like therapy, weight loss and pharmacologic intervention.
In addition to establishing a case for medical necessity, there are also requirements for resection weight. This may be a standard "500 gm per side" stipulation or a more variable standard based upon body surface area/Schnur scale. 
With regards to your specific questions, the reduction in breast tissue does not affect the ability to breastfeed but rather the ability to produce adequate supply. The connections between nipple and underlying ducts should remain intact.Scarring will vary from patient to patient. Wise pattern or anchor scars are fairly consistent. Lateral extensions of these scars is a function of the individual breasts. Overall they are well tolerated.
