I am aware that breast reductions take skin and fat from below the breast, this has me concerned about my stretch marks... They are above my breasts, lining the top of them, will this be the skin that my "new" breasts are constructed of? is there a way to get rid of this skin with the surgery?
Answer: Breast reduction. What will happen to the stretch marks on my chest? Thank you for your picture and questions. Most of the products out there that say they can "remove" stretch marks are not accurate. Sometimes they can be improved, but the only way to really remove them is to remove the skin where they are located. In a reduction, the lower breast skin will be removed, but the upper breast skin is usually retained and this is in an effort to keep scars from the visible part of the breast. When you see your PS to prepare for surgery, they can show you exactly which skin is going to get retained and moved, and which skin is going to be removed during surgery.Hope this helps!

Answer: Breast reduction. What will happen to the stretch marks on my chest? Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. I think that you have a good understanding: the stretch marks that are on your upper breast area will not be removed with breast reduction surgery. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Fraxel to Treat Stretch Marks Thank you for the detailed question and the corresponding photo. There is a lot of skin care products out there that say they can rid your body of stretch marks, but those are all phony marketing schemes. Fraxel on the other hand can definitely help to blend and rejuvenate your damaged skin and scarring. Best part is, it's a completely non-invasive option to reduce stretch mark scarring. For more information on Fraxel, check out our webpage or call to learn more.

Answer: Stretch marks No there isn't really a way to remove all the stretch marks. When I do a breast reduction the skin above can't be removed. The stretch marks will be improved but they will be there.

Answer: Stretch marks on breasts Thank you for question and picture. Unfortunately, the skin of your upper pole will not be excised so those stretch marks will stay as they are. Breast reductions remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body but that upper skin stays. However, I did notice the stretch marks on the lateral aspect of your breast that are lower on your breast. Some of that skin may be excised depending on how much tissue your surgeon will excise and how small you want to be. Most women are very satisfied after breast reduction surgery because their back/neck pain is relieved. You should see your plastic surgeon and you can make a plan together to achieve your goals.
