Hello CiciWantsBBL- I am only about 3 months since surgery but I did read up on scar phases and treatment for breast lift. I read that it was normal for the scar to go through a raised phase, because collagen is going to that area to heal the incision. My PS recommended scar sheets (Newgel plus- they have their own website which is the cheapest place I found to buy. This specific brand is what my PS sells in his office and recommends) which is worn starting about 3 or 4 weeks post surgery once the incisions are closed and all the scabs fall off. I have continued to wear them for 6 weeks now and it helps to heal the scar better and keep them flat, and not raised. At my 1 month post op I was told my scars were healing well and flat due to use of the scar sheets (not the kind you paint on) . I have read on their website that it can be used on scars that are already raised like keloids to help flatten them...they have some clinical trials and info on their website. Hope you find this information helpful...
Glad to hear that you are happy with your results and decision! Just out of curiosity, how long before most of the redness was gone on the scar area? I am a little over 2 months out. Also, did you notice a change in the shape even after 4 months? Many docs say to wait a year for final results and shape.
I am also using silicone sheets to treat my lift scars and they seem to really be helping and I have only worn them for about 2.5 weeks now. My surgeon sells them in his office but after my first purchase I found them directly through the company at about 30% cheaper than my PS office. He recommends newgel plus and they can be bought at newgelplus.com. They are suppose to last up to 4 weeks and my PS has said he has found these ones to be the best. I ordered a second pair for when my first ones are no longer reusable and they came super fast in the mail. I have the beige type because they are suppose to more durable than clear. Hope this helps folks...
Thank you so much for posting your photos of the breast lift. I rIecently had one a week ago and the day after surgery I was surprised about how high my breasts were and that the bottom was not rounded out. I had trouble finding photos on here of similar situation, and was not sure about how much they might drop in the weeks to come. Your week by week photos were very helpful in what I hope to expect in the weeks to come and I now feel more at ease about the results! Thank you.
Congratulations on your results, you look great! I just had my breast lift surgery on 11/13 and read in your posts that you were concerned about some flatness at the bottom of your breasts. Have you noticed over time as swelling has gone down that this has rounded out more and dropped? My breasts are actually higher than I expected and still swollen although I hardly have any bruising. The reason I ask is that I am hoping as swelling goes down more, my breast will also drop a bit giving me a more natural curved shape at the bottom. I feel at the moment they are looking a bit squarish, but it seems over the week it has settled a bit. Since there are not as many people on this forum who have only had a breast lift, it is hard to compare!
