Some sort of "j-scar" method for breast reduction, anyone?

Hey all, I just had my BR 2 weeks ago. My surgeon used a slightly different technique; it seems that the scars will look like a j and inverted j, respectively- more or less like the anchor scar, but missing the inner-breast incissions. I looked a lot online but cannot find any info on this, is it something standard, or not at all? So far my healing process appears to go fine, my first check-up is due in 4 days.

Hi, it is difficult to answer this question without an examination and every cup size is slightly different. Your plastic surgeon would likely be able to give you and estimate of the bra size reduction that 1000g and 800g would be in you. For example, 1000g resection on you would be different...
