Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Breast Augmentation

Darryl J. Blinski, MD answers: Can scarred tissue under breasts be removed during breast augmentation?

I have HS (hidranitis suppurtiva), which is a skin disease with no cure or treatment. I have a lot of scars under one of my breasts. The scars start from the bottom of my areola to below the crease of my breast. Can the surgeon remove all of that scarred tissue under my breast during breast augmentation? My breasts are also of different sizes (large A cup and large C cup). I just want normal, SAME SIZED breast. I would like to have my breast implants inserted through the nipple and under my muscle. Please help!  Thank you so much!

Dear Leslie,

After reviewing your question, I would recommend two (2) separate operations. The first, the surgical treatment of the hidradenitis of the infra-mammary fold. Than after 2 to 3 months have the augmentation through a separate incision like the circum-areolar or axillary. 

Hope this gives you a plan.
