Frequently Asked Questions
How is short scar breast reduction different from traditional breast reduction?
The main difference is the incision pattern. Short scar technique uses only a vertical incision (lollipop shape) instead of the traditional anchor-shaped incision that includes a horizontal scar under the breast. This results in less visible scarring and often better breast shape.
Am I a good candidate for short scar breast reduction?
Good candidates are women with moderate to large breasts who want significant reduction. The technique works best for patients with good skin quality and those who don't have excessive skin laxity. During your consultation, Dr. Georgina Nichols will evaluate if this technique is right for you.
Will I lose nipple sensation after short scar breast reduction?
Nipple sensation is generally preserved with the short scar technique, as the nipple and areola remain attached to the underlying tissue. However, some temporary changes in sensation are normal and usually resolve over time.
How much can my breasts be reduced with this technique?
The amount of reduction depends on your individual anatomy and goals. Short scar breast reduction can achieve significant size reduction while maintaining natural breast shape. Dr. Georgina Nichols will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
What is the recovery time for short scar breast reduction?
Recovery is typically faster than traditional breast reduction. Most patients can return to light activities within a week and normal activities within 4-6 weeks. The reduced scarring also means less discomfort during the healing process.
