Hey, Is redness around areola and scar normal 7 mouth after a breast lift and implant ? I told my doctor about it and he said to be patient . I dont see an inprovement im going to call him again today but wanted another opinion. Thanks a million.
I am currently 5 weeks post op and am wondering whether a topical cream, silicone strips or scar massage is best to reduce the redness/raising of the scars? I was given biocorneum after surgery, however tried the Embrace strips as well. I didnt find them the most comfortable, but am wondering if they make a dramatic difference in the ultimate outcome (less redness/raised scars)? Or, will the topical & scar massage work just as well? Thanks!
I had a mastopexy of the left breast with an augmentation 4 weeks ago, my wound has healed well with no issues. I just saw my surgeon's PA last week. However when I was doing my scar therapy massage a small piece of dead skin pulled away on my nipple incision and it has leaked a small amount of clear fluid. I do not have any redness or additional pain. Should I try to go back to my surgeon, the only reason I am asking here is because of the 2 hour drive!
I had a breast lift on 11/27. No opening of incisions, only the spitting of a few stitches. Using bio dermis silicone sheeting for my scars. The first day the scars seem to look a bit lighter. On the 2nd and 3rd day my scars become deeper red and purple. I wear them all day except to shower. I do not have any irritation or pain, just really red cars father wearing the silicone on my breast. I also had a mini tummy tuck and am wearing scar away on that scar 23 hours a day and its perfect!
