DOES BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY LEAVE SCARS?
Fortunately, in this surgery scars are concealed, which is very convenient in the first months. For a better understanding of cicatrization evolution, we present below the various periods of cicatrization: IMMEDIATE PERIOD: Up to the 30th day and presents barely visible aspect. In some cases, there is slight reaction to sutures or to bandages. INTERMEDIATE PERIOD: From the 30th day up to the 12th month. In this period, there will be a natural thickness of the scar, as well as changes in its color, from “reddish” to “brownish”, which will become lighter over time. This period is the least favorable for cicatrization evolution and the most worrisome to patients.

LATE PERIOD: From the 12th up to the 18th month. In this period, scar will be lighter and less consistent reaching thus its definite aspect. Any evaluatio
