I explanted and the surgeon suggested a lollipop lift. My right breast from the start came out great but the left was more painful and the scars thicker. Now I have a real ugly shape left nipple as well. Is it possible to make the nipple rounder a year from surgery? Im 10 weeks post up.
Ok, had breast lift 7 mo ago, one of my anchor incisions was too high on the breast, went in for revision 8 days ago. Now it appears my incision is to low and not in the fold. It also appears I have yet ANOTHER dog ear as a result. What are your thoughts?
The scars from my breast lift are high up and not hidden in the crease of my breasts like I thought they would be. Also, one of my nipples is larger than the other. The surgeon is planning to revise, but Im wondering of this is common or of the dr made a mistake? Im worried about having the same person revise.
Hi! I had delayed healing due to spitting sutures after my breast lift earlier this year. Im a bit concerned about the appearance of the scars. The verticals ones are wide and just a bit discolored at the top. The anchor one on the right side is very wide, red, and feels thin. Judging by this progress, what should I expect the scars to look like at maturity? Will they improve, or is it probable Ill need scar revision? And is scar revision a bad idea if I had suture issues the first time? TIA!
What type of tape is best for right after surgery (not silicone). Steri strips? Paper tape? My doctor said he doesn't usually tape but he has steri strips and he will use them since I am asking to be tapped . I'm going for my second breast lift bc my scars stretched and I've resagged but I've seen tape is helpful My question is what type of tape, and what does it do to help healing?
Prior dermal suspension mastopexy using lateral axillary roll as breast tissue. Lateral falling tissue, medial nipples. I envision wedges of skin being removed bilateral, nipple moved slightly lateral and tightening up the breast pocket. Too loose and low lying, especially the left breast. Also abdominal scar revision and pull down. Suggestions? My surgeon and I are not on the same page. Frustrated to have to get another procedure and keep waiting because im unsure of my surgeon's plan.
I had a breastlift on 1/9. Nurse tells me that is normal for the wound to open on the t intersection. Should i worry about this opening. How long will it take to heal completely. Would i need a scar revision?
Had bad wound breakdown last year and had scar revision with external only sutures. They were removed a week ago and I have these spots that aren't attached properly with ooz. No internal sutures were used due to my breakdown last time. Non smoker. This appeared as soon as the suture was taken out. And is getting worse. I am putting on antibiotic cream.
Some parts of the scars have faded nicely but there are some red and raised parts. My areolas are also a bit larger than i wanted, and not the same size...should I go for a scar revision, and would this include resizing of the nipple? Thanks!
