The veteran's claim for service connection for breast reduction surgery scars was granted, but the claim for residuals of breast reduction surgery other than scars was denied.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's anterior trunk scars are a residual of her breast reduction surgery and therefore warranted service connection, but did not find evidence of other residuals resulting in disability.
