Is there any way to correct the double crease in the fold of breast without having a visible scar? (Photos)

RAE10Jul 27, 2022
I had an explant (en bloc) done a few years ago. I have a double crease in the fold of my left breast. I understand that the normal way to fix this is to remove the fatty tissue beyond the initial crease (and that the initial crease, being the crease closer to the center of the breast, is the natural fold). However, this would leave a visible scar, since there is no breast tissue to cover it in that area. Is there any way to do this surgery, without having a visible scar?

Thank you for your question. Without photos or evaluation, it is difficult to say. However, your surgeon may be able to have you "try on" different implant sizes prior to your procedure. They will have you place the implant within a bra, and then try on a tight fitting shirt to mimic the...
