What Happens to Streetch Marks During Breast Reduction?

November 19, 2012
Asked By:Triplets34

Background: 32 yo, 34E (before & after kids), 5'5", 125lbs, never been overweight. Had triplets 2 years ago. I breastfed them for 6 months (went from E to J) which resulted in 1" wide stretch marks underneath my breasts. These stretch marks are extremely unsightly and awfully painful as the skin is so incredibly thin. I think my insurance will cover my reduction. I'm wondering what can I expect of these stretch marks after surgery.
