Will my periareolar scars ever fade? (photo)

Asked By:Crh5982

I had periareolar breast augmentation about 3 months ago and I am so unhappy with my scars. They are very red and there are multiple red dots outside of the areola from the stitch knots. Also the inferior portion of the periareolar scar is beginning to be very hard. I have used mederma and new gel. I also used the silicone sheets which seemed to make them even more red. Any suggestions? Is this just what I'm stuck with?
