Hi, I have poor skin elasticity and I am getting a breast uplift with implants in a couple months. I am wondering if I should be taking any particular supplements that will help my recovery any better as well as helping my scars fade and heal quicker. And does too much collagen cause keloid scaring? Thank you
I had a breast lift with implants I'm 8 months in and my keloid scars been getting worse when I was around 2 months in I noticed a small one and it has expanded more.could this be a possibility I developed it due to not wearing a bra while healing as per my doctor he stated I didn't need to wear one Or genetics as what I have read Would a revision on the scars help or should I just see a dermatologist.they hurt and itch all the time
Hi my name is nicoleta, I am 41 years old. I had a uplift and implant 16 months ago. I had problems with my left breast straight away after surgery. The left breast is painful and ssboth of my nipples they have keloid scars. Every 3 months Ive seen my surgeon, he told me to give more time and that its normal but Im not happy with how my breast looks and I dont know what went wrong. I got another appointment soon to see him so just want to know is it normal to look and feel pain?
Ive wants a breast lift for as long as I can remember. Theyre extremely droopy and it makes me self conscious when wearing a swim suit or anything that requires no bra. I love the size of my breast I just wished they looked how they do when I have a bra on rather than looking like a deflated balloon. I considered the surgery back in 2012 and then I got a keloid on my ear lobe. Im worried that if I get this procedure Ill have to fight any other keloid.
I am Asian and getting a modest breast aug with a breast lift. I tend to get hyperpigmentation from scars due to my ethnicity which fade to some degree over time. However, I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't experience keloid scarring. My question: Can women of color develop keloid scars around the areola where the nipple has been repositioned in a breast lift? I hope not. Any tips on how to lessen keloid scarring is appreciated.
I went for a consultation with a plastic surgeon for a breast lift. I am very prone to developing keloid scars. My surgeon wants to do radiation treatment right after the procedure to help prevent these scars. I have not heard of this and wondering if this is a common treatment to prevent keloids.
Hi ! Im 27 days post op ,had a breast lift with 400cc saline implants high moderate under the muscle . Today I finally take off my surgery tapes, everything around the nipple seems nice but then , under the breast is like a horror movie . I know I need to heal more but the look that I have right now is very depressing. Im worried that I got keloids , Im worried that this will not get better . I got some photos , please I need your opinion and what treatment should I get . Thank you!
I am considering a breast lift with implants. However, from past experiences I tend to heal with scarring. I have also had keloids from piercing my ear cartilage. I scar up from itching mosquito bites, from scrapes, etc. I am African American, and I know this is common, but my question is what would you recommendations/advice would you give to your patients? Thank you.
I followed instructions exactly for massaging my scars. I started out with vitamin e oil then switched to maderma oil which I felt worked much better. Very early on I noticed my scars started to swell and expand. At my 3 month appointment my doctor told me this occurred because I wasnt massaging my scars hard enough. He called me in betamethasone with tranilast to apply 3x daily. Its a very small amount for a not so small price.
Im 22 y/o .No children .African American.I want fuller and perkier breast . I would like to find a dr in NY that has experience with African American skin (keloid skin) .
