Scott E. Kasden, MD answers: Decreasing scar size from breast augmentation?

I had a DD tuberous breast and a barely A cup when I was fourteen. To make them even I got a saline breast implant in one breast and had reconstructive/reduction surgery on the other at age 16. Based on the photos I have seen, it seems like my surgeon did a messy job. I have two huge indented scars at the bottom/center of my nipple and breast, and thick scars around my nipple. I tried vitamin E oil and the scars are still extremely noticeable. Is there anything I can do to make the scars less noticeable?

First, time from surgery is important, as the scars tend to fade and look better over time (> 1 year).  Secondly, although the scar may look messy, it is not always an indicator that the surgeon did a bad job.

So where do we go from here?  Steroid shots may help, or scar revision.

Hope that helps.
