I’m 40yo & had a breast reduction when I was 22yo. I was 145 lbs & went from H cup to C/D. I am prone to keloids. After surgery my scars keloid bad. I had to have a 2nd surgery to remove the keloid scars and then received radiation treatment to prevent the keloid scars from returning. The radiation worked & my scars healed well. Since then I have had kids & breast grown to F cup. Can I have another reduction and if so will MD automatically do treatment to prevent keloid scars?
Answer: Bellesoma Breast Reduction The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.

Answer: Second reduction Yes it is possible to have a second breast reduction. Discuss your history of keloid formation with your surgeon. She/He will work with you to help promote favorable scars and can watch for early signs of keloids. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: You can do treatment to prevent keloids 6-8 weeks post op Keloid scars are characterized by their growth potential and increased degree of inflammation within the skin. Unlike non-inflamed scars, keloids have the potential for growth beyond the original footprint of injury. Our office specializes in the management of keloids, whether single or multiple, using a combination platform that includes lasers, RF, scar modulation, Parke-Davis Scar Protocols, and injection therapy. Some keloids will require surgical intervention as an initial step for treatment.

Answer: Can I have a second reduction and if so will MD automatically do treatment to prevent keloid scars? You can have a second reduction - though the complication rate may be higher. At my office, if someone is very prone to keloids, I will plan before surgery that you will get some injections after surgery to reduce the risk.

Answer: Multiple Breast Reductions Thank you for your question those beautiful photos! It is possible to have a second breast reduction, however the technique used during this second breast reduction is very important. With any breast procedure, but especially breast reduction, many tiny vessels and nerves are disrupted, and with this comes the risk of losing sensation or losing blood flow to the nipple, causing nipple necrosis or nipple death. With each subsequent breast reduction, the risk goes up slightly. I recommend returning to your original surgeon who performed your first breast reduction because he knows the technique and pedicle type he used and can more easily navigate your breasts to properly plan a safe procedure. As for keloid prevention, some centers may provide some complimentary treatments such as Kenalog injections or excisions, however this is on a center-by-center basis.
