About 10 weeks post scar revision

The scars are starting to widen and becoming more raised. I hope they don't get much worse. They're still looking much better than they did before the scar revision, but I had high hopes that they would be flat and thin this time. I'm still keeping them taped 24/7. I reapply the tape about every 6 days, and each time I apply silicone gel and let dry before putting the tape on.

Thanks for your update. I am going to try what you are doing with the silicone gel before re- taping. You're looking good

Good luck with the scar healing. I think that your lift looks very nice. Did he revise the scars under local sedation? If so, how was that?

Thank you! I was under general anesthesia, it took about two hours. He said we could do it under local anesthesia in the office in multiple visits while I was completely awake. It would have cost much less, but that just sounded scary and painful to me.

my doc said that everyone heals from scars individually and that we get used to seeing ourselves so imperfect for so long but once we get PS we don't accept imperfection though there will be. You are looking great and seem to heal really well. xx

Thank you! I am working on accepting the imperfection. I think the part that is more difficult to deal with is the stigma of plastic surgery. If I go somewhere that's clothing optional, or in a locker room or something, I'm embarrassed. I know I should not worry what others think though.

Scarring is the hardest part. I hope this time they heal flatter for u. When did u notice after your surgery that they were not healing well?
December 9, 2013
At 3 months or so I noticed that the scars were red and raised. My ps told me they would flatten and fade with time, but they get worse. I think by about 6 months, they were as bad they were going to get, but it might have been closer to a year. After another year they seemed to fade slightly but they weren't going to ever get thinner or flatter.

7 weeks post scar revision

Things are looking pretty good. I've been applying silicone gel and putting tape on after the gel dries about once a week. The tape stays on for about a week. Scars are looking red and parts of them are slightly raised. I'm hoping with more time they will mature and look better than before.

Glue is off, about 2 weeks post op

Dani in Oregon
In these pictures I'm two weeks post scar revision surgery. Today I am actually three weeks post op.
I had two spitting sutures before the glue was all the way off. The first one I went to my PS to have it taken out. The second one was during the weekend and I applied polysporin ointment to it, it ended up coming out on its own before I saw the doctor on Monday.
Once the glue came off, I kept ointment on them for a few days, then began applying silicone gel and applying paper tape once the gel is dry. I hope this works out better than the last time! I wasn't as careful about everything the first time around; I didn't know I was prone to hypertrophic scars :/

You look great! I don't know how we can know beforehand how we scar except to look at previous scars? Hope you don't mind me asking...What size and profile implants did you go with? Thanks so much for the update..it is encouraging to see the full recovery results of the augmentation.
October 18, 2013
Right? I didn't have any major scars to look at before the surgery. I didn't actually get any implants, I just got a breast lift. In some of the post op pictures my breasts were very swollen and it may look like I got implants. But, the swelling subsided after about six months. I am a size 32 D.
