My Breast Augmentation Scars Are 1 Inch and 1/4 Inch Away from the Crease. Is This Normal?

July 16, 2011
Asked By:Close Account122 in no where

Hi, I had a breast aug done back in March of this year. I am not satisfied with the placement of my scars and their appearance. The left scar is 1/2 of an inch away from the crease and the right is almost 3/4 inch away. I'm trying to find out if some error has been made with the incision/scar areas or if this is normal. Also, should I wait a while before seeing a revision specialist? I am 4 months post-op and have been using silicone sheets for the raised portion/color improvement. Thank you.
