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

Asked By:seeminglywhat in Austria, AT

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.
