Not Happy with Breast Lift - No Breast Crease/Scars Very Noticable - Indiana, IN

ORIGINAL POST

$9,000

I originally had a small lift and implants put in a year ago. The mini lift didnt work, scars around my nipples spread and I devolped a considerable droop. Was told I needed a full lift, & nipple reduction, and that is what I did. Im now 6 weeks post opt, I had a reaction to some of the sutures so im def going to need some incision revisions. Also, my main concern is that my crease incision is not concealed, (look in the mirror thats all i see) & I have no breast crease anymore! Has anyone experienced this or know anyone who has? I’m distraught and becoming frustrated with all this disappointment, feel like ive been mutilated! Any advise PLEASE?!?!

I think other than the scars they look great. I would talk to your PS about scar treatments such as revisions, injections, or laser treatments and also try some OTC scar treatments. I'm currently using epiderm which is sold on biodermis.com and I've also heard good things about scar guard md which is available at Walgreens. Good luck!!
Thank you for your response. Just went to the PS today and they want me to wait 6 more weeks and see what they do. They are suggesting that I have Lipo underneath them to try to create more of a crease so the scar is more concealed. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm going to def look into the scar treatment though, that's a good start! Thanks again!
Hi there, I think they look great!, I'm almost 3 weeks post-op and my scars are also a concern to me, I know right now it's still too soon to say, please keep us updated with the scar treatment, take care.
Yes it's been alittle traumatic for me, there's not much to brace you for the scars. I love the shape, just don't like how my breast don't fold over anymore. I mean, I have no crease at all. My friend had hers done and the scars aren't even noticeable unless she's laying down and/or pulls up her breast. Mine are noticeable just in a standing position. It's been a long road for me and thought of another revision stinks!

Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf! You might want to post a question (with a photo) in the doctor Q&A community and see if you can get some feedback there. Please let us know what you decide to do as far as scar revision. Fingers crossed that it gets better for you so you can love your otherwise beautiful results!

You appear to have an excellent result. The scars will get red for the first 3-6 months, then they will shrink and lighten, becoming much less apparent. The skin will stretch and loosen, and your crease will return. Allow 4-6 months before evaluating the results. You will be happy.
Thanks Doc! I love the shape, its just how noticable the crease scar is that is bothering me. I was worried because i had impalnts prior, so i was assuming there was no more dropping to do. The PS suggested maybe lipo inder to try to get a crease- have you heard of this? Im assumning by the suggestion hes not so sure about it either.
I agree with what Dr. said.
