My size is 38DD and I would like to be C cup.I went to one PS and he said that on my type breast he can do only anchor.Another PS said Im a good candidate for lejour.He said that about 80% of his cases are anchors ,but he will do lejour for me.I will gladly accept less scaring ,but don't want to compromise final shape.I will appreciate more opinions.Thanks.

Answer: Is Lejour Possible on my Breast?
Both types of techniques can result in good results. Thus it becomes a more surgeon specific choice. I would do a short scar anchor but that is my choice. Maybe other experts will weigh in.

Answer: Lejour v. Anchor reduction mammaplasty
There are so many variations to reduction mammaplasty. The technique that is chosen should be tailored to fit the goals. The planning may require certain compromises and side effects (i.e. puckering, limitation in shaping, variation in fullness, etc). But in general, I see no reason why a vertical scar type reduction, perhaps with a short intramammary extension should not be an option. In fact, I rarely find the need to use an anchor scar.
