A breast reduction will remove excess skin and make your skin envelop smaller as well as reduce your breast size. Yes, depending on where your stretch marks are located, you should expect improvement in your stretch marks. If your stretch marks happen to be within the skin that is usually excised in a breast reduction, then you will no longer have them. I recommend an evaluation by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation and examination to completely answer this question. #PlasticSurgery #BreastReduction #BoardCertifiedPlasticSurgeon

Hi,A breast reduction is one of the best procedures we have in terms of improving lives.The issue is that the weight of the breast is pulling on the skin causing the stretch marksA breast reduction will reduce the weight and the pull, and lessen the appearance of the stretch marks. It may not remove them, but it will reduce the appearanceI hope that helps.Jeremy Hunt

A breast reduction reduces excess breast tissue and your nipple is lifted to the ideal height and made to face forward in the usual way.  The result is a smaller, more comfortable breast size in proportion with the rest of your body.  Your stretch marks may not be completely eliminated but their appearance should be dramatically improved.   Your best next step is to arrange a consultation with a fully qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
