The short scar is another modern and quite effective approach to this for the correction of the deformity.

What is the Short Scar Technique?

Short scar breast reduction is a technique that offers cutting down of scars much more than the basic techniques of chest implants. Here, the surgeon removes the excess breast tissue and transforms its shape as well as lifts the breast with minimal cuts. This means that the scars are much shorter and usually formed like a lollipop around the areola and vertically down the breast crease.

How does the Short scar technique work?

The techniques used in breast implants involved an incision that takes an anchor shape around the areola, a vertical incision from the periphery of the areola to the inframammary line, and then horizontally along that line. This results in an enormous scar beneath the breast.

  • Cuts through the skin along the circumference of the areola.
  • Inserts a vertical cut along up to this crease.
  • Reduces sagging skin and also eliminates fat and connective tissues.
  • Adjusts the existing spare breast tissue and gives it a youthful and appropriate contour.

This technique gives the patient a better chest shape once the skin heals as compared to other surgery methods that leave behind linear scars.

Benefits of the Short Scar Technique:

There are several benefits to opting for the short scar technique over breast implants.

Less Scarring:

 The incision made along the length of the breast does not have to be as wide compared to other methods. Patients always have less visible scarring. The majority of the scars are located around the area and are nearly invisible over time.

Natural Breast Shape: 

The short scar technique gives the advantage of a more round, natural breast shape, giving its patients better-looking breasts than the traditional methods.

Quicker Recovery:
