Is There Any Kind of Treatment for Keloids (Scar) After You Get a Breast Augmentation? I had a breat augmentation and didn't scar or develop a keloid the first time. I healed very well; however, I went bigger the second time (apparently, the doctor will go over the same incision). I am 2 months and 1 week in my healing. Now, it appears that I am developing/developed a keloid. During my healing process I used Mederma, as I did with the first augmentation. Is there any kind of treatment for keloids under the breast that will show good results? Thank you

A: Scar formation after redo breast augmentation

I do not know what your scar looks like, and therefore, cannot give you any recommendation for a specific treatment.

I do know that scars have a tendency to look their worst at 2-3 months. See your plastic surgeon and ask him or her what he or she recommends. Silicone sheeting or gel, tape therapy, and steroid injections are possibilities. Ask your surgeon.

Is Repair of Diastasis Recti Possible During Scar Revision? (photo) Hi I am 6 weeks post-op from a full tummy tuck & want my PS to do a scar revision on me at the 6-12 month mark as my scar is very high ( he doesn't seem very willing to do it). He also did not do repair on my diastasis recti and I have a 3 finger separation. ( I have very good skin skin with no stretch marks from pregnancy) if I can convince him to do the scar revision would I be able to have my muscles tightened/ sewn together at same time? Would my skin need to be peeled back to ribcage again?

A: Muscle tightening is usually a part of a tummy tuck

Thank you for your question and the photos. Yes, diastasis recti repair can be done at the time of scar revision. Also, muscle tightening is typically part of a full tummy tuck. Did you and your surgeon discuss whether he was going to do this before the surgery? Did he discount your tummy tuck because he was not planning on doing this? What was the reasonable expectation? Your tummy in the pictures looks okay but can your feel the three-finger separation? You don't want it to protude with time. See your surgeon again and provide clear communication about what you expect and get some clear answers. I hope this helps.

A: Implants and scars different on the left and the right

If you are having difficulty with your scars and your implants, visit another plastic surgeon in your area. There is no way to give you advice over the internet without any photos and without examining you. Best of Luck.
