While your surgeon will take great care to minimise their visibility, it’s important to understand that scars are an unavoidable outcome of any surgical procedure. In the case of breast reduction surgery, the scars are typically located around the areolae of the nipple and under the breasts. Fortunately, with time, these scars often fade over a period of 6 to 12 months.
Assure’s Specialist Plastic Surgeon have extensive experience with the latest surgical techniques, including the ‘short scar’ technique.
However, it’s worth noting that some patients may have a tendency to develop keloid or hypertrophic scars. If you are aware of this tendency in yourself, it’s essential to inform your surgeon beforehand so that appropriate measures can be taken to address and manage the scarring effectively.
