Breast Lift + Scarring Q&A

I had a breast lift/reduction that I am not happy with and it is affecting my confidence, my self-esteem and most importantly my career. My concerns are areolas, as the surgeon did not reduce them down while reducing my breasts. My scars are too low on my ribs and I cannot hide them, and something went off with my nipples. How can this be carefully corrected? Do I now have inverted nipples? What can I do to fix this? I desperately need this fixed. Please help

Please give me all the tips and advice you have for achieving the best scar possible. I understand that genetics play a large role and with any surgery a scar is inevitable. I just want to give my scar the best possible care I can. From online research, I've come up with the following : Vaseline, scar massage, ice packs, silicone scar sheets and tretinoin. Are these good options? If so, when should I start implementing each into my post care routine? Are there better things I should be doing?

I really would like a slight breast lift (or even a breast lift that mimicked how my left breast is currently) but it seems like the shape of the breast is always very squared after unless they got implants as well. Also, can scarring be treated or prevented with retin-A? Thank you! I also attached a photo of my breasts to maybe help predict the shape of my breasts after a slight breast lift. Also, if I reduced my areolas would they come out darker? Thank you.

About 2 weeks post op my breast lift incision starting opening at the scar line. The opening continued to get bigger and basically was an open wound. PS did not seem too worried and gave me ointment and gauze to cover. Will this opening ruin my scar? Is this typical in a breast lift? With the lipo before my belly button was not protruding outward and not it is. It that common?

I want a second opinion my dr said theyll heal on their own. this just doesnt seem right I feel like Im going to scar horribly if he doesnt close them up again

I mean, is there actually good evidence in the medical literature for surgical scars (and, not burns)? I have not been able to find significant evidence, albeit with only a quick search.

Hi I had a breast lift in dec 2020 I have scarring around my nipples post op, this maybe down to healing? can this be corrected via scar revision? I would also like my areola reduced, what would best option another lift or scar revision and areola reduction?

I had some keloid scars around aereola with lift #1, and I want to do a full anchor lift now. Should I expect keloid scars again?

Hey, Is redness around areola and scar normal 7 mouth after a breast lift and implant ? I told my doctor about it and he said to be patient . I dont see an inprovement im going to call him again today but wanted another opinion. Thanks a million.

I had my surgery on 9/28 Im about 7 weeks and now my left breast scars looks like I have a hold. My doctor says it is ok & Im just looking for a second opinion. Should I not used the silicone tape until those closed up & heal completely?
