Weird Looking Drain Hole Scar After Breast Reduction? (photo)

The excess skin you are seeing is a result of using the short scar technique on larger breasts. The excess skin typically improves with time. A small in office revision is sometimes necessary.  Overall, the benefit is that you will have better shaped breasts with less scar. Discuss this matter further with your surgeon.

Because all of the loose skin is essentially addressed only through the vertical direction with this technique, there is often the need to bunch or gather residual redundancy of the skin under the breast.  While your surgeon may have used this portion of the wound for drain exit, what you are really seeing is just the way that the closure often looks.  Usually this smooths out over time, but this may take a few months.  If it does not resolve satisfactorily, then a revision may be needed or desired, but this typically is done under local anesthesia.
