Who is more prone scarring after Breast Reduction Surgery?
The ‘less invasive’ vertical reduction option: This approach utilises a complete circular periareolar incision and a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the inframammary crease, down the centerline of the breast. This approach can be used on most women. The ‘full’ anchor incision reduction procedure: For the largest and most ptotic breast conditions, this is the only possible option. This technique uses the anchor incision, which is similar to the vertical reduction, but with the extra addition of a long horizontal inframammary incision across the breast fold. Therefore, this technique leaves the most scarring of any breast procedure.
