[Breast Reduction Surgery] I Want to Know Where Scars Form on the Breast..

Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

I will explain in detail the things you wanted to know.

Postoperative scars that appear after breast reduction surgery

1. Periareolar incision method

[Periareolar breast reduction surgery] This is a surgical method that leaves a circular scar around the areola.

Because the scar is limited to the area around the areola, it leaves the least scarring and recovery is fast.

However, the areola circumference must exceed 4 cm, and it is difficult to apply in cases of severe gigantomastia.

2. Vertical incision method

[Vertical-incision breast reduction surgery] This is a surgical method that leaves scars around the areola and a vertical incision below the areola.

It is a surgical method that supplements the advantages and disadvantages of the anchor incision method and the periareolar incision method.

It can be applied to breasts ranging from relatively large to small, and there are no problems with nipple sensation or breastfeeding.

3. Anchor incision method

[Anchor-incision breast reduction surgery] This is a surgical method that leaves scars at the vertical incision around the areola and the lower breast, as well as along the inframammary fold incision site.

It is a method in which an incision is made in an anchor shape from the nipple to the inframammary fold.

The surgical results are easy to predict, and the outcomes are good even in cases of severe gigantomastia. However, the postoperative scar is relatively long.

The methods above are the most basic incision locations used in surgery, but depending on the patient, the incision location can be modified according to the shape of the breast. For example, for teenage girls or unmarried women in their 20s, surgery can be performed while minimizing scar formation.

If you visit the clinic, detailed consultation is possible according to the shape and characteristics of your breasts, so please keep this in mind.

Breast reduction surgery can be a solution for concerns about large breasts - excessively large breasts can cause significant functional discomfort such as shoulder or back pain and skin maceration under the breasts.
