Hello my Name is Taylor I am going to have a breast reduction soon and I'm unsure about a lot one things the mesh used as a internal bra is this Safe?the other thing is I'm a 38 DD and the Dr who will perform my surgery had mentioned the lollipop cut but I'm questioning that because I hear Anchor cut would be better considering my size I must admit I'm starting to get nervous ! Unsure if the Dr is the one I really want to do this, but my options are limited because medical is paying due to back problems .

Answer: Mesh and Breast Surgery - #plasticsurgery The most common mesh used with breasts today is Seri, a silk scaffold put out by implant maker Allergan. Most times, it is used in association with implants, but can be used with lifts. A reduction under insurance would be a more unusual application, but could certainly be done. Mesh or not, you need to have confidence in your surgeon. If you do not, you are doing no one a favor (including your surgeon) by proceeding and you should seek a second opinion.

Answer: Different breast reduction options Your question about mesh is a good one. Complications may occur. Infection that requires removal of the mesh is one possibility.Some physicians claim to have much better results with the lollipop incision than others. Certainly, if there is a lot of elevation of the nipple and areola and there is a lot of excess skin after the reduction, the anchor scar may give a better result. You may want to have a consultation with another plastic surgeon before proceeding. Everything your present physician is saying may be the best procedure, but you seem like another evaluation would put your mind at ease.
