Breast Reduction Frequently Asked Questions
Does Breast Reduction Leave Scars?
Yes, typically there is a scar around the nipple and an anchor-shaped scar beneath the nipple. In some women, scars can be modified to eliminate either the vertical or horizontal scars and these different techniques will be discussed with you at your consultation. It is not possible to do breast reduction without scars, but they do tend to fade over time. In some cases, liposuction alone can be utilized which greatly eliminates scarring.
How much tissue is removed from my breasts?
Typically, half a volume of your breasts is removed. In many women, this turns out to be a decrease of about two cup sizes.
Will my breasts grow back?
For women who have completed development, it is unusual to have the breast enlarged following breast reduction. Occasionally, women who become pregnant or gain weight may need a repeat reduction.
