Asked By:Imaginative2118 in Midlothian, VA, USA

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?
