Can old breast reduction scars be removed with another breast reduction or breast lift?

December 18, 2015
Asked By:SFCityGirl in San Francisco, CA

I had a breast reduction nearly 20 years ago. I quickly developed rather large raised scars that are almost the width of my nipples and about the same color. I also have a thin flesh colored line in the middle of the larger scars from the actual incision. Is there any way to remove these scars? My breast are still a large D cup and I have thought about either getting another breast reduction or a lift. If I had either of those surgeries would they help remove my old scars?
