Will I have Breast Reduction Scars After My Breast Surgery?

The results of breast surgery can be breast reduction scars depending upon the method used and how the procedure was performed.  Most breast reduction surgeries leave long lasting scars while some leave somewhat unnoticeable scars.  Based on your free initial breast reduction consultation, The Breast Implant Center of Hawaii can give you a comprehensive analysis of what you should expect, when it comes to breast reduction scars.

While breast reduction surgeries are commonly done and considered safe, it is still considered a major surgery.  Breast reduction scars can be kept to a minimum by using a board certified plastic surgeon, since they have gone through the training, testing and have the experience to perform the procedure correctly.  Because they have performed many of these breast surgeries, they know what to anticipate, and thus can perform the procedure in such a way to minimize the breast reduction scars that occur.

In the hands of an untrained doctor, your risks of unnecessary breast reduction scars and loss of feeling can be greatly increased, even to the extent of causing deformity.  Sometimes, this damage is irreversible, so it is important to make sure the procedure is performed correctly the first time.

Often what happens is a patient may choose a plastic surgeon based on price and not consider the consequences of a procedure that was done wrong.  The Breast Implant Center of Hawaii has performed hundreds of these procedures and knows what to anticipate, in addition to the correct ways to minimize permanent breast reduction scars.

Since each case is different, an individualized approach is necessary, which is why they offer the initial free consultation.  You will be able to know the risks and benefits for your particular situation, so that the results will be what you were expecting, when the procedure is completed.  By making a knowledgeable decision based on the anticipated risks, you will feel assured when it comes time for the surgery.

 There are different ways to do procedures where permanent scarring may not be noticeable at all, when performed by a properly trained plastic surgeon.  The healing process can take six months or more and proper healing is a key factor to the diminishing of scarring.

Because follow up care may be needed, your scarring can be monitored for proper healing, and some breast enhancement surgeries require more surgical incisions than others.  A board certified plastic surgeon is cognizant of the fact that the patient wants as little visible scarring as possible for the expected results of a procedure.

By using a board certified and accredited plastic surgeon such as Dr. S. Larry Schlesinger, M.D., FACS at The Breast Implant Center of Hawaii, you can have confidence that your breast reduction scars will be kept to a minimum.
